Name: Paul Fox
Age: 30
Pokeralias/nickname: Pafo777

Favourite team: Everton

Your poker idol: Daniel Negreanu

Job: Cardroom Manager (Circus Casino, Liverpool)

Any UK player you rate a lot?
One or two local players but I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of naming them!

Your favourite poker game:
No Limit Holdem. Currently having some fun with "Crazy Pineapple"!

Do you play a lot online/LIVE?
I have been playing online for around 4 years. Only small stakes and not as often as I'd like. Hard to play live when you can't play in any Stanley casino in the country! 400% profit in only proper live game so far.

What makes poker such a great game?
It requires a lower level of fitness than football.

Have you got a good poker story to tell?
I've just seen 3 players all-in on a final table. One player shows AA and is very pleased when he sees BOTH his opponents have KK. Not so impressed when the board comes 9, 10, J, Q!!!!! That's gotta hurt...

Your biggest strength as a poker player?
Not being afraid to put my chips in.

How is it to be a player and not a dealer? How do you prepare?
I'll probably warm up by donating some money to the casino's three card poker! The pressure will come from people knowing me as a dealer and wanting to see if i can play.

Your ambitions in Blackpool?
To enjoy the experience as being part of 'Team 10Kings' and prove that I can play a bit. Really looking forward to meet up with you guys. The 10KingsPoker Invitational back in start of October was such a pleasure to be involved in. I didn't have to resolve a single dispute all day. The tournament was played in the right spirit and all players and supporters had an enjoyable experience. The structure of the tournament allowed plenty of play and the standard of poker was extremely high.
Now that 10KingsPoker and Circus Casino (Liverpool) know what each other have to offer the Winter Festival in February should be a massive success.
