An affinity for the sport of poker, they will probably never develop.

But a spell Raab aroused their ire. “Aggression against women is paying off”. Could also be an allusion to the last show with Pius Heinz Stefan Raab is not resist: “Thank God today is not because the stork.”

Ironically, the only woman in the first round of poker had to leave the table and empty-handed. The pretty Nina Bott, current Playboy cover girl. The cute 34-year-old former actress is wearing a dark GZSZ dekoltiertes dress and aesthetically presented her with the help of surgical retreaded breasts.

Elton, who began, as always, very strong gymnastics, against them with the QT straight against two pair KJ, Board JA-9 – K – x.

The next Raab was my turn. Elton vs. Raab, the eternally youthful duel, the classic showdown. A – Q sends K – J in the Loosers lounge, where the hosts as usual rants and curses like a fishwife.

Florian, called Flo, is the qualifier. 35, a landscape gardener from Frankfurt. Someone who plays in tournaments and live with happily chatting Hessian dialect. Such a representative of the poker community, I’ve been asking for.

He calls with A – Ts the all-in move by the rapper Sido, the J – keeps 4s. Sido stood for “Scheiße in Da Ohr, “for now”super-intelligentes Droeopfer. The scandalous masked man has at all visible body parts rune-like tattoos letters, ostentatiously wearing designer jeans and sneakers instead of a tuxedo. Professing the cash gamers get some good moves.

Until now.

Flo and the Board KA-2-6-K finish the appearance of “Mama is proud” – singer for today. After the blinds have been at 1.000/2.000. Now Elton’s position in gas. With Q – 2, he is all-in. After a really good start, he was passive phase appeared after two lost hands insecure and overly cautious. The qualifier considered long, then calls A – Ts KA-2-6-K. Get up, Elton.

This time there’s only € 15,000 for you. But you’ve got financed by its own account on the show just two houses from the profits of your poker night. The heads-up contest Flo and Erol Sander, a 43-year-old actor. Born in Istanbul, grew up in Munich. At the Karl May Festival in Bad Segeberg he plays the Winnetou. I see him today for the first time, to me it is not particularly likeable.

A pretty boy, a cheer Hascher. Already completed the first hand heads-up. A – J for Erol, Q – 7s for Florian. 5-4-Q-K-6. € 20,000 for the German-Turks, € 50,000 for the Hessians. Well done, qualifier. You’re one of us who have represented our sport well. Since you were permitted at the ceremony and your favorite bar “Christmas Tree” greeting.

The Dutch delivered another dominant idea and booked at nearly $ 200k from Blom’s account.

Blom played 2556 hands on PokerStars , and it was indeed recorded several profitable sessions, especially at the 6-max $ 100 / $ 200 PLO tables, but ultimately it was $ 279 loss, the loser of the day.

The decisive factor was the PokerStars table Melusina IX, the Blom lost within only 287 hands of $ 195k.

That Blom against Berndsen just having a bad run is widely recognized in the poker community, but so slowly did the bad beats and suck-outs have to compensate.

Instead, Blom lost to Berndsen has been over half a million dollars does not seem enough somehow to get.

Sander Berndsen had yesterday may be cut even better if it were not there Ilari Sahamies. The Finn took the Dutchman a majority of its profits again.

Nevertheless Berndsen could conclude the evening with a rich profit.

Despite his successful games against Isildur Berndsen is not the player with the highest profits in calendar year 2012. He is currently at $ 526K profit.

Currently, the most successful player is “patpatman” with almost a million dollars.

Other winners last night were Ronny “1-ronnyr3″ Emperor, “SKTom84″, “L0ve2playU” and “altiFC” who all won well over $ 50k.

“FakeLove888″, which is still not confirmed whether it is Patrik Antonius played only 35 hands, which cost him but $ 61k.

Sam “tr1cky7″ Trickett, who has spent claims to have a difficult time in Macau, could not recover and lost $ 56k online.

Ilari Sahamies could not bring his profits from the match against Sander Berndsen home too. As he left, he was almost exactly where it started.

Since mid-December, the rumor holds that Europe’s biggest betting provider bwin and the online players separates from its Ongame poker Department. The Anglo-Austrian bookmaker makes it the next important step in the merger, the brought together by bwin and PartyPoker. Important in this respect is probably only the integration of bwinPlayers in database PartyPoker. The remaining rooms on the Ongame Network, as well as the payment processor CQR other hand, are for sale.

Analysts on the London Stock Exchange have now spoken for the first time in detail about the success chances of the sale of two corporate departments. It opinions differed greatly. Paul Leyland, an analyst at Investec, an internationally active banking group, for example, showed extremely skeptical that the sale could have some positive effect for bwin. 1st: The whole sales process was not feasible before 2013. 2nd: Both parts of business are not necessarily very significant. 3rd: the revenue potential for the buyer are assigned a high risk. And 4: both the online gaming payment system as well as the poker of Rome itself would face the challenge of moving into a legally-regulated environment. Where it is not clear what consequences this will have for the general business field.

Other voices sound as positive. The sale of the Bwin Poker Ongame network and the payment system CQR could bring the company 110 million euros (75 million for the Ongame poker division). This would, according to the company insider Michael Campbell, the net sales of 250 million euros last year by 43% increase to 360 million euros in 2012.

A positive effect had the news on every event on the bwin share. Which rose by 1.4 pence to a value of 164 pence.

Anyway seems 2012 will be an important year for bwin. The company has applied for licenses for the Spanish and Danish markets and wants to get into position in GermanyIf the necessary arrangements should be made. But even more exciting is the development in the U.S. market. Earlier this year, bwin shares had first made a strong leap upwardsThan through the redesign of a U.S. law, the first way for the legalization of the U.S. online gambling market had been cleared.

As reported by Pokerfuse The government will bear the costs of Internet companies have to bear to implement DNS restrictions on these sites.

Historically, the EU has shown domain against the blockade but when the game, taxes and national jurisdiction to go through is very likely that companies will no choice but to implement these restrictions.

It seems inconceivable that such measures can be implemented in Spain when, finally, the regulated market into action.

Bring a jug of years playing poker, as he himself tells me, nothing to do with the new generations that have come with online. No, Jaime comes from the old school, the five-card poker, the synthetic, found and especially the “Chirivito” hence even another generation, have a great deal of aggressiveness in his game that would normally have very , high in tournaments.

He is not concerned about online gaming regulation as little practice, you step on the carpet like most casinos, ceramic tiles touching the mat and spend great moments especially around the table with other players . Whether domestic and foreign, always has that brash Jaime own their land to get people into your pocket and then allowed … if the cards beat the game.

It has character too, but it hides a lot with grace and sparkle, and thus only with the southern eclipse everything. Without going too far in the last tournament he played in the Gran Casino Costa Brava, being already in final table with blinds very Altit, it’s up to James and big and had put a guiri the button and goes and loose: “You know Belén Esteban?”. The outsider did not quite know what he was talking and Jaime complete it: “Yes, yes, Belén Esteban bushing … for my daughter Maaate! For my blind and equal Pisha, Maaate” without knowing the guiri continued despite the warning and widespread laughter at the table. The guiri attacks and Jaime gets a stack of chips into the center stack with the equivalent of guiri, which obviously ends up folding his hand … James ends by saying, “Hey baby, how you know who is Belén Esteban?”.

Still have not won big, but the streak that has made final tables that sum amounts to something. Other wins and no longer a prize being his life, but Jaime is one of those, perseverance and fighting are their hallmark in the game and this results in you are doing a tournament final table itself, and almost another as well. But this guy has many facets that are not only the player, and one more interesting …. I promise.

So here we go with this guy from Tarifa to tell us who he is and what is expected to arrive in this world.

Well Jaime, who are you and how did you manage to saturate the world of poker? Do you start with the first players’ associations in Andalusia, no?
Well being, I am a poker enthusiast who decided to turn around their business and lead to gambling, good directing poker.

As you say I started with an association in Andalusia, and a friend formed an association in Estepona and we set to work to offer our partners the opportunity to improve their game and attend major tournaments in casinos in the area (Marbella Gibraltar and Torrequebrada). I even started a project that was on the road, the Association of sports poker players … many legal obstacles and little support from the players made the association only reached 60 members … I say that we have better times when we have a Spanish federation and necessary the players’ association.

How do you define yourself as a PRO, amateur or as a hard worker?
As an amateur hard worker. For me the player Pro is the living exclusively on the benefits obtained at the tables. Several of us live in the sector, we are professionals at poker … but not play.

Have long played and put in the scene, now that you’re better known and more involved in the sector: What are the differences seen poker from outside and from within? What do you think that changes when you’re an amateur and when you’re in the thick of the scene?
Well, honestly, when I played poker with friends for over 20 years this around us now there … and if there was, no idea existed. When I went back to the topic of associations and not knowing anyone really relevant sector ‘serious’, from the tables of the association or from the couch in my house watching the poker shows on TV, I saw the players now I know like when I played football and was preferred to Barcelona … never think you can play them on your table, let alone taking a beer with them. When you know, like in many other areas, some myths you fall, and others get together as a person.

When you’re in the scene, in this spiral … you realize that people who make this industry where there are many others like friendship, honesty, nobility, friendship … but envy, jealousy, resentment and interest. When you’re an amateur that does not perceive, but I repeat, I think this is like any other area of ​​life or business.

What do you think the future holds poker in our country? Do you think people start to know and that is poker, or even continue with old thoughts?
Expected to take out the crystal ball … I do not know what to expect, I know what I would like. I want to consolidate poker as a sport of mental strategy … wants us to have freedom to play in the associations as a quarry of great players that make us world champions. I wish that, as in any federated sport, we had an official championship categories … with the possibility of playing from provincial or regional tournaments low buy-in to national category with the possibility of promotion and relegation … Is this a real utopia? Well, wait I wake up, and while I will continue playing in the casino.

On-line poker my ball does not say anything … have to ask Mr. Rajoy and the director of the regulatory body of the new law regulating the game.

The vision of people about poker is hard to understand when you are inside, but every time I put less funny faces when I say that I do … I say if my mother understands and is now working as a … is because the mindset of many is changing.

There are a lot of playing online. Why? What do you think he draws back a lot of people?
No, I’m not normal. As we all at some point I think I gamble anything, is remember winning a place to play live online satellite … but no, it especially attracts me.

I do not think people will hold back anything in particular, actually played more online than offline, so they say the numbers … but so far the players segment was different.

Pa ‘me that the difference between playing live and online poker is like a game of soccer in a field 11 vs 11 and play a game at the beach with the FIFA2012. You can be very good in the two (they exist), but either you’re a good potato and live online or otherwise.

I can see much playing that comes from the “Chirivito” What are the main features that you think has contributed to your game? What did you have to adjust? Is it very different from Texas Hold’em?
Mainly because when I arrived at Texas Hold’em was that people valued most a pair, which does not occur with the chirivito … we nor the Aces!. And I maintain that philosophy, a pocket pair like I almost always play it slowly … I lost so many boats, but I’ve won a lot and bigger for it. And above all I think it provides a high dose of adaptation to the game … since in the chirivito are six blocks from gambling and you have to go adjust it in each one of them, because your hand can be a winner in the first streets and not at all assert against any other opponent.

I would not call it aggressive, because I’m not, but it makes a little more belligerent, fighting more for your chips. Set I had to adjust many things … if people complain about the Texas Hold’em lit, I had a chirivito timba, you went to see the truly enlightened …!

The main differences are that the chirivito is played with 28 cards, 32 if we are many, that the table leaves letter to letter, and rarely plays we see in Texas Hold’em are common here, stairs, or fouls poker every other one out too.

Well, and especially the color full beats and is distributed “right”.

What do you mean by a good tournament structure?
I think the structures are always good for which they are proposed, depending on the tournament and no more than adapt to the times of the casino game, but I think especially at a tournament in which the average ratio / blind remains constant is much more playable, I like those who remain blind half of 30/50, with a touch aggressive if possible. Although the truth is that we do not have many of those structures in tournaments. Most begin with 300 blind and then play almost the entire tournament with 20 on average, and if I hurry with 10.

What do you think is what people expect when looking for a tournament, “good”?
Everyone here is his father and his mother. I can tell you what to me as a player I like, I choose the tournaments that have a desirable structure, a decent prize to play with, a good direction and I feel comfortable in the casino (which unfortunately does not happen in all ).

That’s what I want … have a good time (or several hours if possible) with the intention to take some money pa ‘the house enjoying the company of players and people who work in the casino.

You’ve been stepped on a few casinos in this country. Do you really live up to offer a good product of poker? Do they need improvement? What do you advise?
Now I’m in negotiations with many of them, I say that some are even turning on light bulbs instead of candles. I’m not much to complain about the truth, I’m easy to please … but some casinos still do not understand that poker is a big part of their future. On the other hand, also say there are others that show a clear intention to bet on him and the creation of Poker Rooms, in many of these casinos are proof of that.

Councils will not … Only one thing … we will not get rich the owner of the casino with the rake, but if you want that poker does not leave your premises, do yourself a favor: Do not mistreat the player poker tournament offerings to expand their … and look as the Blackjack dealers not throw ‘toa’ night watching the American roulette.

Was this what prompted you to embark on this great adventure in which you are fully embraced and mortgaged your soul?
A bit of both … on one hand the regular tournaments most casinos are turbos ridiculous stacks and other major tournaments with good structures tend to be expensive for initiating this. As the amateur player, who wants to join the live game, adjusting his bank, he could only play tournaments with 3K initial levels of 20 min (not to mention the unlimited rebuys). Lotopoker We will not let you experiment with any style of game more than the raise preflop and ‘God caught Confess’.

So, after last year playing various stages of a national circuit, I thought it would be nice to have a national tournament with a good structure and buy-in a medium accessible to many more players … and I started with it and here we are fighting.

Normally speak of a very light “to organize a tournament,” What has really rigged a tournament?
The truth is that today organize a single event often has much more work than it seems. We must take into account several factors, from the casino or the place where it is to celebrate and to the living room features on-line with which you plan to work. Today almost all the big tournaments are organized on-line facilities, and work independently as we do require one hand the search for rooms or branding brands interested in and then everything else. We talked to prepare specifications, bases, structure, merchandising, advertising, satellite, hotel bookings, coordination of the players, follow … and so on.

Of course if all this is leading a tournament, plus added or what force has set up a circuit and fruitful adventure?
So far in the tournaments and events we have organized our plus, mine in particular, has been to offer a different product for poker players Offline, a product and an attractive strategy for our company and ultimately profitable.

For example, we launched the project ‘Poker in the Sea’ (we repeat this year) holding a poker tournament for a cruise, everyone who came alone, accompanied by friends and family told me the same thing will repeat this next cruise . So when do I start a project seeking the satisfaction of work well done and in this case especially open new possibilities to the player. Therefore, in our circuit that begins next year, we include different organizational details, from the structure (30K starting stack and 60 minute levels) to the types of games (board Dual Parallel 1 and Parallel 2 in Shooutout mode ).

The profitability is to be seen, we are a marketing company … Our business is not the tournament itself, but what we can generate through it.

I know you love to play, however what do you most like to be among racks?
In my work I like almost everything … as I said before, the personal satisfaction of achieving goals and challenges me to reach full. I like designing things and surround myself with people able to carry them out. I’m not very fond of pictures and the cover … I am a friend of mine, greeting at the end of the day in recognition of work well done. Our company was founded with a clear objective … humility in an industry full of ogres and giants, to give something different poker player. We’re on it and hope for 2012 projects out very well. We have much to learn … I have a long way to go, I have not had an easy start, but I promise to give many holders of the good.

What do you think are currently the best circuits in the national level?
I put it on easy! Now there are only two … and certainly the Tour Poker Stars PokerStars is the best. While there are lesser circuits that pass through here and they are nice to play. Well, of course, facing the next year, the National Tour of Poker I hope you are among the best, not only in Spain but in Europe for the structure and environment.

Do you expect or you rely on to win one?
Expect always expected … The truth is that I have a puncture Rachit do I feed my hope … bushing but do not know how I managed that I always final 2 º or 3 º.

This coming year unable to compete in the NPC to be part organizer, complete a circuit I want to play but I have not decided yet, though I bet Stars seriously by PokerStars, and I hope finally hit good in the photo with the check! !

Changing the subject a bit … Are these covers so unique cards carry them for something particular, you use amulets?
Amulets no! I do not believe in luck and I do not think so momentous influence on the game. Perhaps in one hand yes, but not in the course of an entire tournament. The started taking my daughter for three years, a day trip to play out of a tournament, gave me a SpongeBob he entered a Kinder egg … and hence a non-stop.

SpongeBob characters because they are with those who started this habit … and for some time Famobil clicks because they were my favorite game as a child.

What is with what you get from the world of poker?
So far I’m with people I’ve met … there are very good people here rulando willing to lend a hand.

What do you most hate?
Some of those people I have met … able to lend a hand … but the neck child. The envy, the Do who is this? Shows that as elsewhere there is much “dog in the manger”. But I’ll stick with that for now are the least.

Ah! And I hate greatly Saxon terms used to play … with how beautiful it is the Castilian … a raise, a climb, a re-raise, one I’ll put the rest … well things are better man.

Is it more fun that has happened at this time?
Know what happens, I have a great time at the tables … I could not tell a single detail, a concrete fact, many moments of laughter that I have collected on your hard disk. I think anyone who agrees with me on a table known to be quiet so not me, I love the rock fray with comments to collect clues, we understood what the call tells. And although I enjoy doing more of a penalty taken by it.

The nickname ‘The Gadites’, where does it come, why did you choose?
Well, that would have to ask who put me … I would say that he who says of himself that is a mamoncete, started calling me that because of Cadiz. And the truth does not displease me, I’m from Cádiz, Tarifa and we feel proud to be me and my character and my accent attest to that.

Anyone who admires this scene?
I admire not me. But I have a special respect and almost a debt (although he does not know) with Juan Manuel Pastor, apart from great player is a great person, and for whom I have only words of thanks for your time and advice when I do not know absolutely no one.

And I have great respect for the work of John Duthie, his vision in creating the EPT is an incentive to continue mortgaging my life in my project.

Anyone who thanked you during this time?
This could take the paper and give you a litany of names … but especially I am grateful to a special friend, a gift from him made me take me more serious about poker, thanks Nat

And grateful to the people closest to me understand my father when I stopped my work aside to devote myself to this project, and Martha (my wife) especially for supporting me and suffer in silence my days away from home and my hours and hours at the computer working late.

Among tournament and tournament prick and prick … Which is what you spend the rest of time?
For work, I’d say Martha. Actually this time I dedicate to family, parent stuff … and husband. I take the little time I spend at home to be with them, besides working, because my computer does not know what is to be off.

They have lots of patience and endurance at home, right?
Well look the other day I sent a letter to the Vatican to beatify nominate Marta and Patron of poker … but they said it could not be because he does not believe in miracles, only the variance.

Seriously, I think any couple poker player or someone in this world, but share your passion, you must have patience. And so far so good. I still hold.

Until now, the first season of Epic Poker League is not just under a lucky star. Chino Rheem is the first winner charged with a lousy non-payers. After his title win came forward more than one debtor and claimed rights to a portion of the prize.
