Strangest poker moment: Was probably at my first All Africa tournament , after the heads up. Having a celebratory drink and my good friend saying to me “Do you know what you have actually done…. You are going to the World Series!“
Do you have any regrets in poker – a hand that you should have played/folded? The last hand at the All Africa in November 2007, my K 10 v Ronaldson's KJ where he flopped a straight and I actually thought my 10 was good. To go so far and throw it all away in a matter of seconds really annoyed me.
A Poker Tip or advice for fellow poker players: all I can say is “ Patience”
