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.

My WBCOOP campaign is over! After 6 days and 7 events, my WBCOOP campaign is now over. I busted out of the Main Event at 447th place. I went ALL IN preflop at late position with JJ. One player called and showed 99. He immediately made his set at the Flop. My JJ's didn't improve. I made a good move and the other guy just got lucky. Who knows what could have been had I doubled up. I am happy with the way I played today and throughout the WBCOOP. I was in the money at event #6, and I bested more than 75% of the field in the Main Event. Considering that it is only lately that I have involved myself on online poker, I think I did a pretty good job. I play mostly live. I didn't know that playing online can also be fun. Time to play some online cash game. |
