i am pokermax
My name is Vic de Guzman. I am an amatuer poker player from the Philippines.
Though I play a lot of poker, both tournament and cash games, I still do not consider myself as a professional player. However, I consider myself a student of the game, eagerly learning and appreciating this mind-blowing card game. I am known in the Philippine Poker scene as POKERMAX.
Why POKERMAX? A lot of people say that I bring so much action at the tables.
I've had some Poker Tournament success in my 5+ years playing poker,
namely, Champion of the 2nd season of the POKER BAR TOUR (2006), 2009 Filipino Poker Tour Champion wherein I bested a field of 667 (the biggest field in Asia) with a prize pool of 6 Million pesos, Champion of the 1st Rotary Charity poker event, 48th place in the 2009 Asia Pacific Poker Tour in Cebu, and several other tournaments wherein I placed in the money. I am currently a regular player at the Manila Bay Poker Club at the Mall of Asia and The Big Ace Poker Club in Mandaluyong.

Gone again! WBCOOP Event #3 went pffft! Gone in 21 minutes. First I doubled up with my KK. Then, a couple of hands later, at late position, I got AA. There was a raise at early position for 3X the BB. Another player called. When the action got around to me. I re-raised it to 600 total. A very big bet! The original raiser called. I guess he must be holding a pocket pair. Flop show a rainbow board of 8 9 7 He leads out with a bet of 300. I go ALL IN. He calls. He shows A 10. What a jerk! He calls a 600 raise pre flop with that!!! Oh well, I got him dominated. Oh I forgot, this is pokerstars!! Where being behind is a big advantage. Where being a donkey is rewarded. Where making stupid play works. Where suck out happens. True enough, the turn card shows; 6 That's the end of my event #3. D' Ghostman bows out (again!) at 1,586th place. |
