Life as a Professional Gambler

While ive always been a gambler!! this is my first week playing poker professionally without the backing & security of a full time income. I'm happy to say that last week i completed the sale of Atlantis Casino Carlow to Liam & Fionn of the Celtic Poker Tour. Best wishes to the guys, i hope they have as many good times as i have had with the casino for the last 5 years.

Gambling for me became an obession rather than a hobby while i worked on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines for 7 years. On days off while my friends aboard the ship would head to the nearest beach I would always find my to the nearest blackjack or roulette table with a whiskey & coke in hand. On my final week I ended my ship career with pure luck, while on a break from work, i ventured over to the Atlantis Casino , Paradise Island Nassau in the Bahamas where i won a small fortune playing caribbean stud poker when i picked up a royal flush.

Happily my good luck streak has continued and I am delighted to be representing Irish Eyes as a full time sponsored pro.

I will be updating this blog on a weekly basis where I'll be reporting on my poker experiences from both online with Irish Eyes & live Events.
