Interview with Bungler

[jimmii]

How did you first start getting into Poker?
I started playing 5 card draw poker wen i was 5 as my granny was big into poker so she thought me how to play so everyweek i wud go over and play poker with her and my dad and his brothers,but it wasnt till i was 15 that i started playing in work for money and realised i wasnt to bad at it.and only in the last 3 years have i started to play for much bigger money.

What do you think the most important thing for new players to learn is?
the most important thing i think is not to get in over ur head,start in the small blinds and dont move up till u know ur ready,as gambling can swallow u up ive seen it happen to a few people,just have fun at the start and be patient wait for the big hands and play them strong,and stay away form bluffing till u really no wat ur up to.

How much poker do you play these days?
up till about 2 months ago i used to play approx 12 hours a day,i cud play this much because i own an internet cafe so i had the time to sit all day and wait 4 the best hands,but nowadays i find it hard to fit in 3 hours a week and its getting worse.

What is your poker alias and why?
my poker alais is BUNGLER its been my nickname 4 years i got it in tek and it just stuck with me and to be honest i cant remember how i got it.
What is your favourite game?
in cash games i only play $2/4,2.50/5 and 5/10 TURBO tables and i love the $100 and $200 heads up tourneys.
Do you have a "low" fav starting hand?
my favorite starting hand is 88 of any suit cause over the years they have been very very gud to me so wen i see them im all in and rarely loose with them.

What are the best and worse things about playing poker?
the best things are the money and the excitment nothing beats the feeling wen u have the nuts and 2 other guys bet huge and ur last to act.
The worst is poker can really take over ur life u can sit for hours and not eat,drink and blink,then its on ur brain all day and night ,there's been nites wen i have been awake all nite running tru hands i played that day.and the worst is if u have a bad day it effects ur mood to other people i get crabky if i loose a big pot or sum muppets calls a big bet and hits runner runner to win.
What are your poker plans for the future?
my plans for the future dont really exist because i opened up a new business 2 months ago and i cant keep up with the work so my time is takin up with that and i WANT to put my time into it and hopefully in 10 years wen im fully set up and have plenty of money then i can sit down and play poker,but 4 the next while i cant see myself playing much poker at all.
