Betfair Qualifiers / nono / 23 May 2008 / Leave a comment

1) So how did you start playing poker?
In Greece on a holiday with friends. At the time I pretty much gambled on anything that moved and also things that didnt. A few of them played poker and they asked me to join in on a game. As I was gambling and losing at the time I was reluctant, but gave in. The first hand I was dealt in that game by the river was a royal flush. My friends couldnt believe it. I didnt really know what it was.

2) How long have you been playing on Betfair and at what type of tables can you normally been found?
Betfair was the first site I joined probably around three years. But it has only been recent that I have called it my home. I can be found on cash tables ranging from $2.5/5 up to $25/50 I also play $1/2 if I'm intoxicated.

3) How did you qualify for the WSOP?
I tried satteliting on betfair for $50 got through to the next stage for the $500 buy in and bubbled came 3rd which was no payout (which hurt) I then did the same thing but this time managed to get through.

4) Have you been to any live poker events before? Any success?
I have been to some offline tournaments but no major wins as of yet. But this year I will be entering a lot more as I am pushing myself into the live scene more this year

5) Best online success?
Playing on a $15/30 game heads up to a very successful player on my old site ladbrokes sitting with $3,000 and leaving with $36,000. This was because i found cracks in his game while playing in ring. He didnt play me much after that.

My old old site Getminted (now closed) being the highest earner in a month ever recorded on the site.

6) What is your aim for Vegas and what would you do if you won?
My aim is to win, and if i do there will be a huge party.
