Poker is a simple game
You raise your button regardless of your cards (raising creates pressure).
until you have a reason not to.
You don’t fold top pair (because no one ever has anything).
until you have a reason to.
You bluff a lot (because if you don’t bluff they never fold).
until you have a reason not to.
You value bet relentlessly (because if you think you have the best hand, you usually do).
until you have a reason not to.
You run your opponent over at every opportunity.
Because they take it personally....

Greek Poker Cup Updates
Hello all....
After a nice bust at the main event day A1 i am happy to announce i just finished 5th in the 330 euro side event for 1280 euros... The structure was fast so i had to be very agreesive to get chips...
My first double up ... i opened from the button with 88 against a very light 3 beting bb, he 3 bets me and i 4 bet shove... he calls and shows 44 !
My second big hand
I open from early pos with QQ a player wich i had no image of him calls me in pos. the flop comes QQ2 and i check, he bets and i call, i check again the turn and he shoves 25K chips in a 13 K pot .... i had him covered so well done...
I started bulling the table with the chipleading stack of the tournament with big succes and showing bluffs to everyone waiting to play a big pot with a real hand ;) Thats when the tournament director changes my table and gets me to the left of the second chiplead.
I limp UTG with AQ to trap some shortstacks but the second bigest stack raises me in pos... time to represent AA and make him play for his tourney ;)
I reraise and he calls the flop comes 1024 rainbow and i cbet and he calls, the turn is blank and i shove him with complete air for the rest 60% of his stack.... he gets crazy starting crying about how he got KK vs AA again, and i think damn it wasnt JJ or QQ after 10 min of thinking he folds KK and i show him the bluff... WHAT A MOMENT... i ordered a glass of water to get back to reality cause the whole poker room was in the air screaming...
At the final table i shove from the sb to the bb with A9s 10 bb and got called from AQ damned.....
Thanks to pokestars for organizing such great tourneys.

Stacking off Chris Moneymaker .... feels good!
I played an interesting hand today against Chriss Moneymaker. Chris is a WSOP Main Event Champion and Pro at Pokerstars for those who dont know. We played about a handred hands at 50NL 6 max today and he was playing 24/19/11. Its always an honour to play against the guy who is responsible for the poker boom worlwide but stacking him off is a good feeling... no disrespect offcourse. Thanks for droping down at 50NL and give us a chance play with you Chriss.
