MBSOP Exclusive Interview with Conor White
Q1. So Conor White “Saved My Life”, great to have you here.
Cheers Gary man, im not too sure what you mean by ‘here’ but cheers anyway.
Q2. So have you in fact saved my or indeed anyones life?
No man i have never saved anyone’s life but i think i was responsible for the death of a Jack Russel the other day. He followed me across the road and got nailed by a car. Poor little bastard. Barry white saved a few lives alright.
Q3. We have well and truly entered the Summer season of the MBSOP debut season just how glad were you to take your first win last week?
I suppose i was happy enough winning my first bracelet. I did get lucky enough heads up with Rory though. He limped in with AA and i checked behind with Q6. Flop came QQ10. All the chips ended up in the middle and before i knew it i had my first bracelet. I didn’t feel too bad though cause at at the end of the day Uncle Ray Ray can ‘go fuck himself’. I did win another bracelet the following week as well which was even better. I beat your brother heads up. I actually rate Mark’s game and i reckon he’d be well in the running if he had played more. It was also great to have an all ginger heads up affair. A first for mbsop i think. I was denied my 3rd in a row by Trish the following week. Trish and Mark can also go fuck themselves. Fuck it.
Q4. Now that you are up and running do you honestly feel you have a chance of clawing yourself back into pole position?
To be honest i don’t know if i’l be able to play enough mbsop’s to have a real chance. I’l probably be working a lot of fri nights in the coming months. Otherwise I’m sure i’d definitely win cause I’m brilliant. Fuck it.
Q5. Paul Creane managed to get three wins in just under two months. Is that what you have to aim for now, a personal purple patch?
Ya i suppose. If i win another bracelet tomorrow i might have a chance.
Q6. Can you recount any comical moments from the current MBSOP season that just cracked you up?
Playing with Neil is always a laugh, he can be very funny at the poker table. He actually tells you what cards he has which is pritty fucking funny. He’s done that TWICE!
Q7. Who is your favourite player to go head to head against?
I honestly don’t have any favourite. If i had to choose any1 though it would probably be a long drawn out affair with Barry cause we’d be in the bits by the end, hopping off smoke.
Q8. Without giving away any secrets, what do you honestly feel is the strongest part of your poker game?
I don’t know, i feel i’m getting better at reading other players at the table. In the past i found it hard to get a read on any1 at the table but i think i’m beggining to pick up a few tells. Especially Neil, all u have to do is ask him and he tells you.
Q9. And which parts do you feel require some work?
Patience. I’m better at a smaller table cause i know i don’t have to wait a whole lot of time to play another hand. When the two tables merge together i often donk off a lot of chips in the early stages.
Q10. Any good jokes?
No. Man i remember the days i heard a good joke every 2 weeks but a really good joke is becoming harder and harder to come across these days. I mean really good jokes, not the shite u put up on your bebo home page. No offense. Fuck it like.
Q11. Who do you think, if not yourself that is, will go on to take the MBSOP crown?
I actually fancy Paul to win. Just have a feeling he will do it but it will be close with Richie and Mick obviously having a great chance.
Q12. A debate currently raging on the social network sites is whether the player with the most points should receive part of the winnings.
What is your stance on this subject?
Personally i think the person with the most bracelets should win. As i think Mick said on the mbsop social networking site and i quote “Fuck the Bubble”.I know uncle Ray Ray aint too happy with that but he can go fuck himself. Fuck it.
Q13. What music are you currently enjoying most?
Listening to the orb a bit recently, other then that what ever Paul decides he wants to listen to on youtube. Although we are meant to be having turns picking songs, Paul fucking HOG’S the shit out of it. Its fucking bullshit to be honest.
Q14. How does Conor White like to relax in the evening? (Remember it’s a family blog!!!)
Playing poker online and pulling the fucking stomach of myself. Sorry Gary but fuck it.
Q15. Being its debut season and all there has to be some flaws that need ironing out.
Any changes you would make to the current structure of the MBSOP games?
I think the whole thing is fairly well run although Goose seems to have lost a little bit of interest and as a result the web page has suffered slightly of late but in fairness to Mick he has taken it upon himself to update the web page himself. I’d also like to take this opportunity to praise Mick and Tony on being brilliant hosts. I mean we wreck the place EVERY Friday.
Q16. Any advice for beginners?
Personally i think most beginners limp too much. Limping is for gays. So unless you are gay I’d advise against limping too often. Raise or fold peflop. Not all the time but more often then not ii would say.( i have nothing against gay people).
Q17. So Conor White “Saved My Life”……….all in???
Ya fuck it, lose and you can always go to the pub.
