During my lunch I was telling a friend if you play Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven song backwards it has a satanic message. I didn’t realise there were messages in other songs though. You can listen to a few Here.
This Line Rider game, is seriously addictive.
Clubber has made his name as quite possibly the best player for the past two years on the Tribeca Tables Network. Clubber is a $20/$40 NL and sometimes but very rare $150/$300 limit player. Now that might not sound like a big game but in the last year alone Clubber picked up a cool $1,000,000 sat at home with his feet up.
If you play on the Prima Network you’ve probably heard of Bad_IP (Johnny Lodden) and if you play on Full Tilt Poker you must know Mike Matusow, Phil Ivey, Erik Seidel. The list goes on; I_KnockOut_U (Patrick Antonius) Poker Room, Phil Hellmuth UltimateBet, Daniel Negreanu from Full Contact Poker. What you don’t hear about it is the average joe professional player that’s making a killing playing online Poker. Enough of the introductions I caught up with Clubber to see ask how he started living every Poker players dream of being a full time professional player:
Name: David Taylor
Age: 24
Nationality: UK
Plays on the Tribeca Network as ‘Clubber’.
How did you start your Poker career?
A few guys at work started playing when I used to work at Zenith Windows. So I got involved and ended up bumming all of them. Then couple my mates started playing online, so I joined in.
What was your age when you first started?
21 I think, 20-21
Did you have any teachers that helped you get started?
Not really to be honest, I read Super Systems then it was all trial and error.
How did you know it’s time for playing Poker professionally?
Well I hated my job BAD, so when I won about $1k I quit the fucker lol.
Have you ever been interested in tournament play?
Hardly ever, once I won $600 in an MTT then went straight to $3/$6 NL.
So what’s your view on money management then, as it appears you didn’t follow it to the book?
Well when your first starting out I think you have to take some risks, but money management is important.
How much do you play in a week on average? How many hours per session?
Probably about 5/6 days a week 4- 8 hours a day, I used 2 play allot more though when I first started.
Have you ever thought of playing higher stakes with some of the top pros?
I am a pro; to be honest I like it here and know most of the players.
What do you think as the best/worst things being a Poker pro?
Best things are money and lifestyle, I do fuck all and worst is probably the stress of losing and chat abuse from all the rail birds. I don’t like birds abusing players, especially the ones who think they know best.
What do you think you’d do if you weren’t a Poker player?
Would probably still be at Zenith selling windows, just lucky I found Poker really.
Do you have anything planned for the future?
Not really, I don’t really like playing live play, I get bored quickly.
You can play Clubber on the Tribeca’s Network which is host to the well known and well respected Doyle’s Room.
Borat Sagdiyev is a controversial, satirical Kazakhstani journalist character invented and portrayed by British-Jewish comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.
He also plays the character Ali G. Check out this hilarious trailer for his new fild which should be premiering later this year.
Remember “Screech” from Saved by the Bell? Well apparently he’s trying to sell a home Sex Video to the gambling company BetUS. I can only imagine it’s like watching Deliverence.
This is a 20 minute video but staying on the prank theme it’s very funny. It’s taken from Viva La Bam.
I was going through some old email this morning and I found this really funny Prank Call.
This video is another a couple of prank calls made to a pizza shop.
PokerStars is by far the best option for online tournaments. PokerStars has the largest community of tournament players on the internet and their tournaments are always great value. I’ve always found their software reliable and the support is fast and always reliable.
Unlike some of our PokerStars competitors, they only charge you one tournament fee for rebuys. This makes their tournaments even better value than their freezeouts as if you on average make 2 rebuys and 1 add-on, you end up only paying a 2.5% tournament fee.
PokerStars hosts three World Series of Poker (WSOP) main Event winners (Chris Moneymaker, 2003, Greg Raymer, 2004, and Joseph Hachem, 2005), and every year there are hundreds of PokerStars online qualifiers in any given event.
In the past few months PokerStars have really worked on their software which I used to find very outdated however now there is far more functionality with the layout, and a great feature to custom design your table. PokerStars community is so vast the level of play goes from soft to very high quality, giving you the chance to cleanup or improve your game.
I’ve been playing with PokerStars for about three years now and it’s definitely one of my favourite.
I got an email from my friend Kieran last night before leaving work. We haven’t spoke in a about three years. Anyway he sent me an email asking how things were going and also included this picture.
As soon as I saw the picture I thought someone was taking the piss and I wasn’t actually speaking to Kieran. It took me a good 15 minutes to realise it was David Hasselhoff.
I don’t think I need to go in to any detail on this one.
I went to a small beach on Saturday with a couple of friends from work. The water was so clear you could see all the way to the bottom. We tied up a floating beer cooler to one of the buoys and all the time I didn’t realise there were so many fish swimming all around.
Later on I picked up some snorkelling gear and went around some of the corals were there were hundreds of fish at any one time and all of them were different colours and sizes, it’s incredible to try if you’ve never done it before. Next month I start my lessons for scuba diving, in the mean time I’m going to practice in the bath.
