Many cheque issues without justification in his favour have been signed in 2006. Even if he admits his passion for poker, he refrains from not being a compulsive player. "I don’t play exaggerated sum at poker. I play it only with friend, the betting amount is one euro, all gains go to the common pot and we make a party with. It's like this, for years" he explained to get by.
