not another bad beat story


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.

Hey Blog! Long Time......

It's been a long while since I last posted in my Blog. I have a lot of materials to write about. I'm already excited to start posting again. Im just kinda stuck with everything that's happening around me. First of, I am now a proud owner of my very own poker card room. It's called the Empire Poker Sports Club in Pasig City, Philippines. Also, I had a chance to visit London and got a chance to play at the place where the World Series of Poker-Europe is being held. Likewise, I also had a chance to play some of the biggest cash games in the Philippines. One game I played appeared to be just medium staked game, with the blinds at $5-$10. But the game had an ante of $70! By Philippine standards, that's about what one person earns in a month! Of course, in all of these experiences comes a lot of hand situation worthy of my "not another bad beat" tales.

I will start posting in a couple of days. Let me just get my thoughts together and get caught up in a writing mood. Til then.
