Additional Notes Performance
Without a doubt Michael is the most dedicated poker player to play at pokercush.com with a record appearance of 33 games out of 33.  Apart from the tournament director (Ian cushion), Michael is the only player to attend ever single game since the beginning of the league in 2001.  Michael's poker courier has always been a frustrating experience and there are 2 occasions which have always stuck in his mind.  In 2002 his dreams were shattered when he lost the league by 3 points to Ian Cushion leaving him with the runner-up spot and in 2004 he qualified in a 4 hour Satellite game to enter the 2004 Cup Game on the same day and then competed for a further 6 hours only to be knocked out in fourth place.

Michaels game play over the years has always been very tight in fact if his game play had became any tighter he would have suffocated!   Michael is now a very tough competitor to play against with his new aggressive style which always keeps his opponents guessing. - Jan 2005
