I have been playing online poker for some time now, mainly playing for fun but have recently started playing for real money. It’s amazing how much more nervous you get when you are playing for real money because every move counts and you really have to know when to bet and when to fold.

I’m still learning so limit myself to putting just £20 a month in my 888.com account and once this has gone I go back to playing for fun. I have won a couple of hands so far, but hopefully when I get a bit more experience I will win a few more.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the World Series of Poker which starts on Friday in Las Vegas, with the likes of the super talented 21 year old Annette Obrestad and most would say the man to beat Phil Ivey taking part to win this coveted crown.
