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.

WBCOOP Event #3 Here we go again. Its about 40 minutes before the start of event #3 of the WBCOOP tourney at Pokerstars. I try to limit my participation to the NLHE events, since this is the kind of poker that I feel I can really compete. As of now, there are 1,783 registered participants. I'm sure it will reach to more than 2,000 by the first hour of the tourney. I plan to be more patient this time. Probably, limit the range of hands that I will be playing. Most importantly, I also checked with my internet provider to make sure that my connection wouldn't be as crappy as the last time. Afterall, being in the top 10% of this tough tourney would already be a significant accomplishment for me. Like a couple of days ago, I will try to blog about my progress in this tourney. |
