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.

There are soft drinks... so it could be worse.

The EPT London starts today. Another four long days of poker. This one of course has an extra twist in that my girlfriend Jo is also blogging. We'll be working in the same room for the first time. It's her first EPT so she's terrified. It's my 7th EPT and i'm still terrified. I think it will be fine.

As usual with these events long hard days mean long hard nights for my lungs. Intensive smoking, coupled with fizzy drinks and a few dreams short of a full night's sleep. They make for weariness in the eyes and a slow death march for the mind. The smoking has escalated a little and my diet has switched to a more fluid base. I'm 30 next week. At what stage do you need to pay attention to these things?

But anyway. Stay focused. Concentrate. Hide in the press room.
