Introduction
Eric Liu, also known as p3achy_keen, is a talented and young poker player who is playing daily at the highest limits PokerStars has to offer. This alone is of course enough reason for us to ask him for an interview and find out how he got to the top and what he is planning to do next, in poker and general.
Lets do the basic stuff first.
What’s your name, age, location and screen name?
Eric Liu, 21, location Duke University p3achy_keen on PokerStars.
Poker
Do you only play at PokerStars?
I mainly play on stars, but I also play occasionally on Full Tilt Poker.
Why is it that you mostly play on stars though, don't you consider rake back to be very important? Or is this irrelevant at your limit?

A young poker talent from France who is playing as high as 5000nl in cash games, while attending law school at the same time. His success in both areas can definitely serve as an example to many of us.
Hello there. So let's get the basic stuff out of the way. What are your name, age, location and screen name?
I'm 21, my name is Ludovic and I live in a small town near Toulouse in France. I'm mostly known as Cutsss, but I have some other fake nicks that I won't share =)
Ludovic doesn't sound very French to me. Are you originally from France?
Yeah, my grandmother is Spanish but I'm French =)
Also doesn't really sound Spanish to me, but no matter. Is it your first or last name?
It's my first name, my last name is Lacay.
Ah you see the last name might come in handy when we see a Ludovic win WSOP 2008

For new players, following discussions about certain hands could be hard to follow because of the poker slang that is widely used by more experienced players. Whenever you see a term used which is not familiar to you, you can always backtrack to this article to look it up.
Following is a list of most of the terms used in online poker forums:
3-bet
A 3-bet is defined differently before the flop and after the flop:
Preflop: the blind is usually referred to as 1-bet. A raise is referred to as a 2-bet, and a reraise is referred to as a 3-bet.
Postflop: a bet is referred to as a 1-bet, a raise is referred to as a 2-bet, and when someone raises on top of that raise, it's called a 3-bet.
4-bet
Likewise with the 3-bet, 4-betting revolves around raising.
