What a perfomance! Eleven times in the money in thirdteen tournaments, playing with regular winners of that tourneys is too much. Sustain the concentration trough 30 tourneys, with their movements, changes of tables, players, etc. When you have different feelings about your needed is a really epic thing. I have some problems to deal with a long tournament, seated in my house!!

Luck always has its share of success and many players have enjoyed it. Big tournaments are an art of luck at times when gamblers win with cards in a beautiful or impressive way. This series was a great one for Party P. and many persons who won big money.

maybe you can say that he had luck on end,to have not so big difference between second player,but you must know how to play poker to be able to come in cashout on 11 events,so he must play very good to be able to do it!maybe he didnt earn biggest amount,but he got biggest number of points!

Not often that we see greek players winning such tournaments. A good win with nice earnings for him. He is talking about the title. Are they really playing for the title or the money? And what a name that he has. If translated his last name means cologne

The good players need the good luck like every of us, only a little less. I think that when I make the better game the luckier I have! And you can see how, when the variance works against, the better player makes the better play, with the better pair, and lost like the worst. The poker is a game where all of us are trying to domesticate the random, trough an incomplete information!

This is professional poker, my friend. Where the entrance is high, the prizes are just right. Here people have too much good thinking and it is not easy to win in front of them. They know the game very well and their fold is too fast for you to create a stack... They are formidable with this.

I´m not saying that he aren´t a good player or that all you need is luck. I said that the luck is absolutely necessary in poker´s game. We can discuss about the proportion between skills and luck, but you can´t be successful in poker if you haven´t luck. Maybe, I´m sure, that in your loved sport bets or in slots, you need much more, that´s true!

In this life i will not play big tournaments because i do not want to learn strategy. Online poker rooms are too pretentious ... and i'm bored of it. I try to get a bigger buy-in with my abilities and almost always the software that destroyed my dreams. Who can do more than me must to try.

Yes I understand to you, study is bore situation. But is irreplaceable if you want to improve your playing. And I´m noticed that neither is useful study any format. You have to start in cash, by the micro levels, and only when you are a winner there, you can think in another format to specialiced. I avoid that, and I was wrong. I have to fix it!

Good for you CALICUL! This is the first time that you tell about make an effort to study poker. This is the way, without any doubt! And how you think to do it? To me, the more useful way was several articles of a poker´s page (is banned his name here) and see a lot of videos od the same two or three godd players. I advise to you be select to chose the medio and the referents!

Congratulations to this fellow greek player , not few greeks have proved that they are good poker players in live tournaments , ofcourse some of the Greeks that play online poker games have proved they have a tedency for cheating , lol .
Anyway .... To reach this level and play high rollers or very expensive buy in games , live or online , need a lot of skill .To aquire this skill you need a lot of studying and practice , alone and with fellow pro co-studying players , one-two poker pasters to guide you why not . The books , artticles , software tools , hands , theory startegy that you need to pick and choose , the best for nowadays games and more usefull, not an easy task ....

Yes, you have the reason antonis321. Today is too difficult to go to a high level in poker´s game. Especially in live poker, because online you could have many software, screens, pictures, etc., to support your game. But in live poker you only have your mind. I think that this is the reason to find younger players, more and more. And how your studies go?

Yes , ifhou are able to win many tournaments or finish in very high ITM posiions in many tournaments , this is a clear sign you are very good . Live tournaments have more pros these days , who are familiar with GTO decisions , making it really tough to play against them , to have successes on the felt , but very good players can still win big . Also some of the old school poker pros , need to take some new lessons , needto refresh thir knowledge , or else they won't have any future or at least great future , lol
Online you have many tools to use (which i can't say I like unfortunatelly ...) , but live I think you are not allowed to use analytical tools , mining data info , programme or whatever . I wrote in a forum that i believe using programms online is a little cheating , one told me that on sportsbetting you also use data , analytical info , programmes to compare statistics , etc , but there it's not a scam , why should it be on online poker ?? Ofcoursxe , the fact that they don't allow this cr&& on live tourneys on casinos , this didn't tell him anything at all ..... wtf....

Yes! 11 tournaments won (ITM) after played 30 is a crazy proportion! He have to be very good, not only about his poker´s skills. He have to keep the concentration trough all those tourney! And antonis321, the matter about use software to make a part of your work in poker online, is the decision of make money with the game or keep playing only for fun!

Yes this is it, that´s why i write (ITM) to make some clear.He win (1st place) the tourney 7 and 30, and he overall had five finishes inside the top 3 spots. But in that tournaments makes 11 ITMs with a tables full of pro-players is a destacable goal! His big prize, the Purple Jacket, was winning by the summary of all his hits, and he really deserve it!
