AMRN:
1 - WHO ARE YOU?

Steve Redfern


2 - POST A PICTURE OF YOURSELF OR A LINK TO ONE (APAT OR OTHER)




3 - WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?

Droitwich Spa in Worcestershire (always state the "Spa" bit cos it sounds posh!)


4 - TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF?

sub 40 (just). Married with four kids aged 11, 9, 8, and 3. I"ve leant my lesson and bought a TV now!


5 - WHAT IS YOUR POKER BACKGROUND?

Started playing 7 card stud for my dinner money aged 14. I usually ate well!!!    Been playing online for around 4 years, although only really taken it seriously for the last 18 months. I play at PokerStars for tournaments, Titan for cash, and BSQ for APAT games.


6 - WHAT IS YOUR PLAYING STYLE?

Complete Fish!


7 - WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE POKER PLAYER AND WHY?

Roland de Wolfe - just a fun player to watch. Never dull, and always in the thick of the action.

or DevilFish - I can"t believe how often he accurately calls someone"s hand, right down to the suit and number!

or Vicky Coren - surely I don"t need to explain the reasoning behind that one!


8 - WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE ONLINE POKER SITE AND WHAT IS YOUR POKER ID THERE?

Pokerstars - Harrierz


9 - WHAT ARE YOUR POKER ACHIEVEMENTS?

Followed Chris Ferguson"s advice on bankroll management and turned $150 into $10,000 in six months, just by playing sensibly. 

Then won the Daily Fifty Grand on Stars for a little over £10k.

Then proceeded to lose all the discipline and donked far too much away.


10 - WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE ABOUT LIVE POKER CURRENTLY, THAT YOU WOULD CHANGE?

Tourney"s that start ridiculously late at night... our local casino moved the 21:30 start time to 19:30, and got more runners!! but some of the regulars moaned, so they moved the starts back again :(

Oh yeah, and can"t stand self dealt games.


11 - HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT APAT?

PokerPlayer magazine


12 -WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT APAT TOURNAMENTS, STANDARD OF PLAY AND STRUCTURE?

Bloody marvellous!!  The regionals tend to be a little shallow in their stacks, but the Nationals are the best poker fun I"ve ever had for £75!!

The online structure gives a chance for "proper poker", although would much prefer them to be at Stars instead of iPoker - even if just to introduce running antes.


13 - HAVE YOU PLAYED AT AN APAT LIVE EVENT AND IF SO, WHAT WAS MOST MEMORABLE ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE?

First National was Cardiff in Jan08. Hardly got involved for 7 hours, other than the odd small steal. but clearly remember the feeling when my all in shove with AK was called by AQ.... of course I was out!

Loved the team event in Blackpool!  What a laugh that was!!



14 - WHAT ARE YOUR MAIN INTERESTS OUTSIDE OF POKER?

Is there anything outside of poker??  

OK, football (Liverpool, although can"t afford to watch them much, so locally I watch Kidderminster Harriers), cricket, and ferrying my kids around.


15 - WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK OR FILM?

The Matrix.  (don"t try to bend the spoon cos that would be stupid.....)


16 - WHAT THREE MUSIC ALBUMS WOULD YOU TAKE TO A DESERT ISLAND WITH YOU?

Jem - Finally Woken (my fave iPod album when playing live)
U2 - Joshua Tree
Status Quo - 12 Gold Bars


17 - FINALLY, WHAT MESSAGE WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAVE FOR YOUR FELLOW APAT MEMBERS?

May all your suckouts be good ones (just not against me please)

billyho10:
Superb ,a reply to my post.

Nice to learn a little about you Steve. where does the nickname AMRN come from then?

$150 to $10k fantastic  ;D  what level did you start with the $150 to $10k challenge? was it cash only or tournies too?

Now i can put a face (and parrot) to the online name  :)

Lets hope a few others follow suit.

AMRN:
AMRN - the usual boring one..... initials of my kids :)

My challenge started with .05/.10, and moved up as the rules allowed... never buying in for more than 5% of bankroll. It ended up playing regularly at $2/$4 with a $400 buyin.  Had a few STTs in there too, but never really stepped up above $60..... they just got too hard!    And a few small MTT wins along the way were a big help.

TopPair2Pair:
Was this challenge in a book or something? Sounds like there mite be some good advice in it if it was!

hi_am_chris:
does the 10NL  level play much different from 25nl?
