Stephen Bartley writes about poker and gambling. His passions away from work and family are horse racing, tea, drink and politics. Having escaped London, a world that involved double locks and baseball bats hidden by the door, Stephen moved with his partner, step-daughter and young son to Whitstable, a seaside town in Kent, where he resides in a coastal fortress with astonishing fields of fire. That makes it good for nights in, watching American racing, drinking cocktails and getting early nights.

Benylin and coke... ice and lemon

The foot is down. 200 mph towards oblivion, pushing the body as far as you can towards breaking point. Olympic athletes? No. Press actually. Cough syrup, high caffeine beverages, sleep a long lost dream. We're here to watch World Champions play the laymen for £20 buy-ins and a chance to touch the hems of garments. Won't these fuckers hurry up?

But no. Stay calm. Tarnishing of this beautiful dream must soon begin, and the novelty will become something the ealy starters will regret tomorrow morning. There's still no bar license here. The critical mass of being on the piss or playing poker is fast approaching. And when you can't do both problems are never far enough away.
