[MUST SEE]******* BBC- Panorama On Texas Hold'em.

Matthew seemed to play at 500NL right from the start, even though he had 4 buyins. Does anyone know if he played lower limits, because he wasn't certain to double the money playing at that level. I noticed a copy of Miller's/Sklansky's new No limit book appeared in it too.

got up to about 8k, was playing 100nl and then 200nl then 500 and 1k etc...

I regularly played higher so thought 10 buyins was enough for the lower limits.

I think it was unfortunate for the show to end on a bad note as it was close to the end of filming that I lost it. Those 2 last hands shown I had 78 vs FD and TT vs 33 and he turned a 3. It could have easily gone the otherway.

I am pretty good friends with Declan and have met up with him a couple of times since the show. I am pretty sure it was his own money and he now plays 25nl/50nl on PArty poker.

The show was either gonna be a big win or a big lose and I assured them that for that to happen higher stakes would need to be played. I knew that I could lose playing 1k nl with just 6k but I probably have an edge on those tables as I play them regularly and it would be more likely for us to win than to lose.

How did the BBC find you and ask you to do the program? Were you paid a salary or was it just expenses? Awesome job though.

I was going to say how you could have played lower limit and going up more (which is ture, no pun inten)

But I just want to say one thing.

Good luck with your future poker and as the wife of phil ivey says loud and clear to him before he leaves the famliy home, Just dont do any thing stupid!..

That was a nice flat by the way, what was that a 450k docklands home?
