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 #6 part 3 This is the deepest I've been in a WBCOOP event. I was playing so tight that at one point, there was a raise before me preflop and I threw away pocket 10's. The raise was equivalent to 60% of my stack. I made it in the money. I finished at 66th place out of 1939 participants. I went All In preflop with KQ heads up vs 99. His 99 held up. For my finish, I won an $11 entry to the SCOOP Tourney at Pokerstars. This is good 'coz I feel I am getting some kind of system in playing this event. Just in time for the Main Event tomorrow. By the way, the Main Event sked runs at the same time as the Celtics vs Lakers game tomorrow. Let's Go Celtics!!! I guess I have something to do while folding my way through the Main Event. |
