Our Verdict:
CHUFTY, aka Richard Ashby, is a hyper-aggressive Omaha specialist playing the highest cash games Full Tilt have to offer. The Watford native has been prominent on the UK poker scene since the turn of the century and has live tournament winnings of over $375,000. Offline highlights include victory in the 2005 Grovesnor UK Open Poker Championship PLH Event for $35,123 (he also recorded a 6th in the 2003 WSOP ($1,500 Omaha Hi./Lo) for $12,640). But it’s the cash games that have been his main source of income and High Stakes DB shows he is up almost $2 million on the FT PLO games (*since January ’07). This is in large part thanks to his infamous aggressive strategy that regularly pits him in hundred thousand dollar pots with the likes of fellow nose-bleeders David Benyamine, Ziigmund & durrr. Though his game of choice has massive financial swings it appears that CHUFTY is here to stay.
