Indeed I did, and it did not take me that long to write it! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Although, to be fair, a solitary article does not a regular column make, so I doubt it would prove satisfactory evidence to betgo.

I'm not sure why betgo uses my name to try to make his point. And I'm not sure why it is of concern to anyone whether I'm "qualified" to write a column. I can and have writen about my own experience at the WSOP, as noted by daveymck. If someone is interested enough to ask me to write about my experience at the WSOP (which was extraordinary), I'm happy to oblige.

As for Mr. McManus, I don't follow his column but I certainly enjoyed his book.
