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.

Mega Million Tournaments

Earlier I posted an article called March Madness. Well, tomorrow is the start of several rich poker tournaments in the country, The Metro Card Club P3Million Guaranteed Tournament. There will be 2 Day 1's, and I will be playing in the first one, which starts tomorrow. They expect around 200 players tomorrow. Its going to be a very tough field. I am just hoping to survive my Day 1. I will try to approach this tournament conservatively. No fancy moves. No 3 bets (unless I have AA or KK). I will try to use the same formula that I won with last year at the Filipino Poker Tour. I will try to sell the image of a tight, conservative player. Day 2 will be a different story. I will blog about it if ever I survive Day 1.
The follwoing day is the start of the The Poker Circuit (P1Million Guaranteed Tournament). It would be a record of sorts for me if ever I will survive and make the money in both tourneys. If it will be allowed, I will try to tweet the progress of my Day 1 in both tournament.
