My name is Alex and I am a new writer for the Poker Section.
I have been playing poker for about four years and semi professionally for about two years. I first started out playing at the Brick & Mortar 10 / 20 fixed limit in Vancouver, Canada and then played at Absolute Poker before making Betfair Poker my main site. You can challenge me if you would like, my alias is BrasilNut.
Fixed Limit Hold ‘Em player has been my main game until the past six months when I decided to make the transition to No Limit Hold ‘Em. On the side, I play my fair share of Multi Table Tournaments and Sit ‘N Gos.
My journey has been long and bumpy, with many highs and lows, with the most being learnt from losing sessions/weeks/months.
Other experiences I will be writing about include:
- Poker Tutorials including hand history analysis
- Detailed site reviews
- Software to aid you to become a better poker player
- Resources
- Forum: Let’s get some good discussions going
- Helpful hints and strategies to turn you into a world class player

- Rakeback Deals in the online Poker world
I would feel honoured to share some of my past and present experiences with the readers and if you would like to drop me a line, I’d be happy to reply to your comments.
Good luck!

In this new series of articles I will be trying to highlight some of the excellent information and research resources that are available via the internet……and the good news for all of us is they are free.
To try and keep one step ahead of the bookmakers and exchanges it is necessary to investigate new angles and strategies, and the main way I achieve this is by using these free resources to test out theories.
In Part 1 I will be taking a closer look at the fairly well known “gambling” stable of Stuart Williams, who is based at the headquarters of Flat Racing at Newmarket.
He was involved with landing a lot of the big gambles that Patrick Veitch writes about in his really enjoyable book “Enemy Number One“, which was published earlier this year. In the book Veitch puts forward a “tongue in cheek” laying method(page 243) which is basically to take on all of Stuart Williams runners, highlighting the fact that a healthy profit would have been achieved over the last couple of years on this basis.
He reasons that the market and press have managed to convince themselves that every horse the stable runs is a potential gamble, well lets take a closer look. More on Making The Best Out Of Free Resources
