A very good player who can offer good advices but for me it doesn't work well at cash tables, because i have the impression that some rivals see my cards. I play low stakes and it is very doubtful what is happening. I lose a lot of pots that i would normally win in tournaments, but in cash is not the case because i have the impression that i play with professionals, bots or players who catch the cards they need very often.

a very good player who also plays in small rooms like Unibet. There he won a huge amount this year for the players there. Almost 70,000 euros for 1st place in a tournament. It has a very good game and his talent is very high.

a player with 4 bracelets could not be so unlucky that he failed to win millions in poker. Some end up losing if they earn so much, but others deserve respect because they manage to accumulate those bans and use them for their personal lives. This is very good and most of them dream of having a solid career, but unfortunately not everyone has this luck.
