It's amazing how this work comes from procrastinating on the dissertation. So I've just slobbed out for twenty minutes to have a smoke and a quick game of poker, when I remembered something. The other night when I was slacking and playing poker I found this website that says it'll watch you play and if you're good enough: sponsor you. It all sounds a bit suss right (?) but it turns out it's run by ex England cricketer Ed Giddens.
So I've just sent him this email:
(Oh yeah, and the site is called Geoff, I think it's like Dave on TV)

Hello Ed,
I was checking my stats on SharkScope and stumbled upon your ad. This seems pretty interesting, I thought to myself and what not.
My name is Tim Horner and I'm a third year Journalism student at University College Falmouth. I also happen to have a massive interest in poker, writing, and writing about poker. (I'm currently having a quick Sit & Go break from my dissertation - which happens to be on poker.)
I've set up an account on Betfair under the alias 'Angry Youth' if you fancy keeping an eye on my form. I've been playing a bit on Full Tilt and it's a completely different kettle of (excuse the pun) fish.
If you could provide me with some information on your company, what and how you work... I'm sure I could come up with a real good article for those who play poker (young men...), I have contacts at Poker Player and Front who would considering running it.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Tim Horner
Angry Youth
So that's another option. Back to the diss.
