For an amateur player like Robert Soogea who purely loves the game, winning the WPT tournament in which many professionals around the world were participating must have been one of the most exhilarating experiences in his life.

Many congratulations to Robert Soogea on winning this High Roller Title and the 150,000 first prize. Great to see Juha Helppi still playing to a very high level after so many years
it can be really hard to play against other women or new players and of course morons.
with poker you always try to find mistakes that other people make, but sometimes they win on mistake because they don't understand the odds.
also playing a certain way can annoy people and they will make mistakes when they get frustrated.
there are so many factors, but a good player, I think, WILL ALWAYS LEARN, HIS WHOLE LIFE! there are just so many aspects in poker, it's the trick to learn a lot of of tricks and recognize patterns etc etc. Don't stop learning!
