Dave 'LeKnave' Jones
Name: Dave Jones
Alias: LeKnave
Age: 18
I began my journey through this sick game in early 05 thanks to some persuasion from Horneris, i loved it from day 1. It was finally something i wanted to excell at and made a heavenly change to going to lessons at college. I started playing NLHE cash games with change in the cafe with about 10 others all ante'ing 10p. And i found the beauty of online poker. I deposited under my Dads name as, at 17 i was still too young to play. I immediately begin to succeed...then i thought i was god, as most do. But soon found out this was infact, not the case. I found myself $400 down from depositing slyly with his card! Luckily it was a card he never used, so it went unnoticed!
When i turned 18, i couldn't set up my own account fast enough and began shipping it from day 1. Playing $3/6 with no idea how to play really, and $50 HU sit and goes. It was all going to go wrong! Then when i lost my $1000 BR on Pacific in a few days i was pretty crushed, and the grind started over again.
Those were the days, now having finished school in a year out before uni, i am a full time poker player, i don't like it when people use the term professional, i think i am far from a professional.
To begin i'll be smashing the shit out of mtt's crushing 20-30 a day in the search of some sick wins. This is a strategy i have employed this year and am in profit for over $9000 in the short start of the year. Should be more, but i decide its good for me to donate money in $5/10 and $3/6. Probly stuck around $2K in cash this year!
But the serious mtt grind begins here. holla it up bitches, peace out.


Brent 'Horneris' Horner
Name: Brent Horner
Alias: Horneris
Age: 20
I started pwning poker at college in late 04 and ripping apart the cash games daily, often taking home £20 or more. Made a lot of decent tournament cashes in 06 and paid for my holiday to Tenerife, computer etc, but never really got serious. This year, im at Uni in Sheffield studying Poker, lol, and Ive already made over $8,000 in just under 6 weeks (been skiing for 9 days) and have won over $800 on Party Poker cash in the last 3 days alone. Gona start playing NL 100 and 200 a lot and using poker tracker to record my results professionally.
Also gona play a lot of the bigger tourns on sites such as Stars and Crypto, such as the Sunday Warm up and Sunday Million etc...hopefully Ship home some massive cashes. Pwned Dariominieri today in the Warm Up. Hoping to ship home at least $50,000 this year (secretly more), so i can start moving up to the higher limits by 08, and then becoming a true balla playing medium-high stakes cash games and building a huge roll and destroying Vegas in 2009 (when LeKnave's 21). Hopefully gona get some Balla trips sorted to Monte Carlo, London, Amsterdam etc for coke/hookers/blow later in this year/start of next year. hoLLa. The dream and the serious proffessional Grind Begins.

Rich 'ChipRich' Hare
Name: Rich Hare
Alias: ChipRich
Age:19
I was the high school dropout, not sure what to do with myself after school so i decided to finish education there instead of going on to college, this meant i didn't get to experience the action of the loose change cash games. I got introduced to the game by Horneris and his crew, who started to play home games. And we soon heard of a home game LeKnave ran and due to the lack of passion involved in LeKnave's game, LeKnave moved to join us.
I was instantly hooked, and hosted alternate games with LeKnave for the £5 home games. I decided to take the leap to the online scene and remained there in the early hours of the morning grinding $0.25/0.50 cash games with LeKnave, Horneris and Steelio (a fellow home game member).
I am classed as more of a notorious gambler when it comes to poker and will put it all on the line, i don't do BR management, just search for the big wins. Recently i found one, netting a $4.2K cash in the $15K GTD on stars. This result has BR'd me for now, and i can now be found crushing low buy in mtts and low stakes cash on Party and Stars.
my blogs should be the most exciting with BR swings that will make you fetch the bucket, I will aim to take u on a sick ride in my search to pwnpwnpwn.

Ok, first of all the picture will be coming soon(after bb4).

James 'JP' Moody
Name: James P Moody
Alias: Linux or Linuxmood
Age: 21
Ok, a little about James "JP" Moody. I was born in february 1986. I started playing poker properly about 4-5 months ago. It started with Horneris shipping me $7 with which i played lots of STT's and ran hot. I eventually went bust as STT runs dont last and you need a bit of a bankroll to play them not just two buy ins, lolo. I then deposited on stars and began the quest to find a game i could beat.
I think i finally have..... I am without a doubt the best 0.01/0.02 grinder in the world but i have ambitions to play medium stakes cash. I currently multi table NL 10 - NL25 but have been known to win a few pots at NL100. I am definitely a cash player and not an online tournament player, I seem to play better when i know what i am winning / losing.

Despite this i think i can become a good live tournament player especially after some dom (sainsburys basic cider)


So, now you know the background, but thats not important, the important bit is coming, the important bit, is now.

Team Ship It. Standard.

"A baller is a slang term for someone who has 'made it to the bigtime', or a person who is living a flashy luxurious lifestyle. It originated from inner city amateur athletes who made it to the professional leagues playing baseball or basketball. It is now commonly used to refer to a posh thug, pimp or gangster, or one who imitates this lifestyle. Ballers spend vast amounts of money on such things as champagne, classy restaurants, clubbing, jewellery, expensive cars, clothing, high-stakes poker and other forms of gambling. It is usually used to refer to men; they are portrayed as sharply-dressed, with beautiful women and rich taste''

Ok, so we may not actually be ballers yet, but hey, we are confident that we will have an impact on poker. 2007, has barely kicked off, and all 3 of us have had huge success in relation to the small stakes being played.

Its time to blow up the stake, and head for the big time...join us for the ride of a lifetime...Balla style.
