I have watched you play a few times, and since I have bought the 2007 Aussie Millions DVD. I must admit I am a big fan of yours and many times throughout the DVD watched your plays, and over and over again said I'd make the same moves. I wish you all the best and if you are ever in Melbourne don't be scared to send me an e-mail!
Cheers mate
