"I was in Holdem Hell, continually finishing just out of the money, getting drawn in by stronger hands and busting out. What was I doing wrong? That’s when 'divine intervention' led me to Father Ashley. In my first session, he clinically dissected my opponents. We finished the SNG first and I knew that I had found my mentor. Father Ashley helped me identify 'trap hands', monsters waiting in the bushes and the danger man at the table. Since I began working with Father Ashley, I have learnt to maximize the value of my good starting hands whilst avoiding marginal situations that usually end up as losing hands. Poker, like golf, is a game of patience, skill and psychology. If you are considering hiring a poker coach, I strongly recommend Father Ashley."

In 1996, he legally changed his name to Santa Claus. Ash endured the jokes about reindeer and coming once a year for as long as possible (four years) before changing his name back.

In 2002, he met his wife, screenwriter and mosaic artist Carolina Pla. They married in Las Vegas, at midnight, in a helicopter above the Strip. The headphones (which you’re forced to wear to hear the minister) make the wedding photos look like a sports commentary team!

Yes, it was hot and yes, we look silly with cans on our heads...Carolina had never played poker before they met.
Under Ashley’s (mostly patient!) tutelage, she became a regular winner at online poker, specialising in tournament play.

Meanwhile, Ashley made his living playing online poker.
He qualified for both the 2004 and 2006 Ladbrokes Poker Cruise vacations via satellites.

The Ladbrokes 2006 Cruise ship, docked at the lovely island of Labadee, Haiti.During the 2006 cruise, Carolina took first prize in a $500 freezeout, winning $34,008. Ashley got a nice bonus when he backed her to win at 10-1 before the final started!

Carolina was a real star for the rest of the cruise. We couldn't eat a meal without somebody coming over to congratulate her! Nine days in paradise and being paid for it. Not bad work if you can get it, eh?

You've got to apply yourself. Follow the 'religion' of Texas Holdem and who knows?

It could be you picking up a huge chunk of change.
