For the first few months of the year, 888 Poker ran a competition where the winner gets to have me come to their home poker game, anywhere in Australia. 888 supply the table, chips, cards, beers and waitress, and I come along and play with the guys for a couple of hours.

The winner was Nathan Perry from Woy Woy in NSW. We had a great day here with Nathan, even though both of us were knocked out early, both in the same hand, both with Ace-Eight! But this is what poker is about - enjoying time with mates and playing some cards. My mate Tony Hachem came with us (he did the video above). Today I am off to India for the IPL as captain and coach of the Rajasthan Royals.
