According to Barry Carter “it’s impossible to turn back time; as anyone who has gone out just before the money of a tournament after making a stupid ‘bubble play’ will know. Yesterday, he played live poker for the first time and it was a horrific experience something, like how it should have been the first time for me, at the Sky Poker, UK Poker Tour at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham. He was making string bets, trying to rise without announcing it and generally making a jester of him. What’s more, the atmosphere was grubby and the table talk was very offensive, all the players were smoking and some of them were horrible.

He was been invited as a special guest for being a ‘well known poker player’ (their words, not mine) and there was plenty of big names from the UK circuit by Sky Poker. Every bust out was reported in jest on the microphone by host Tony Kendall and every big hand applauded. Everyone was talkative at the table and the more experienced players amongst us were being very compassionate and giving opinion when needed (Obviously not on hands in play) to the newer players. Not a bad word has spoken all day.
