Don't know how many of you (if any) read his blog, but I find it to be a mine of information. He is honest and forthright - wysiwyg. I love seeing his thought processes on the decisions he makes and his calm acceptance of bad beats as part of the game. A recurring theme throughout is his basic tenet of tournament NLH - to win you have to win with AK and beat AK. His report on the EPT in London is well worth a read.

IMO he is has been very harshly criticised for something that is part and parcel of Poker. I do not see a great issue with Oscar winning acting performances to disguise the strength of your hand. Barry Greenstein looked a bit of a fish when he called. A long dwell and then a raise, what does he really expect?

However he does have an annoying habit of saying 'exactly what I thought he had' whenever a hand is shown down.

Yea hes not liked at all, people were triumphantly claiming he was going to be dropped by UKbetting at the world series untill he came 5th in the Omaha

Then again same thing was said about the Hendon Mob (has Ross Boatman ever won a tournament?)
