Interview
After the interview with Cutsss (for those who have missed it, it can be found
here), RobV has conducted another great interview with yet another highrolling filthy-rich pokershark. This time it's non-other than Eric Liu, also known as p3achy_keen on Pokerstars and n0rthface on various poker forums.
They discuss several topics including how Eric has made it to the higher stakes and how he maintains a winning strategy. He also tells us what he thinks of his opposition.
A little fragment of the interview:
________________________________________________________________________________
Doesn't it annoy you to play versus people that you know and talk with about poker? I sometimes spot you playing at the same tables as for example Daut44, while you discuss and post hands at liquid poker together. Doesn't this give the other a big advantage, especially since you are the one that seems very active in posting your own Hand History.
I actually think it's kind of interesting to play at the same tables with those people, because it gives me a challenge and allows me to learn more about the game. If I discuss hands with someone, it becomes even more of a mental game and they now have to consider what we discussed next time a similar situation comes along.
It becomes like Roshambo on a higher level?
Haha, yes it's a similar idea.

You can also read what his plans are for the future. Eric is a phenomenal poker player with a great personality which definitely shines in this interview. He also likes to keep a low profile which is definitely admirable since he does have some bragging rights if you ask me

Competition!
In agreement with Eric we have also created a competition. The one who posts the worst beat in the upcoming week starting from today (!) will have one session of around 100 hands reviewed by Eric! His great knowledge of poker should help you become a far better player.
A few requirements for this competition:
- Only hands posted directly on this website will be eligible for the competition! Links to other websites don't count!
- Your hand should be at least a 200bb pot. We won't consider it a horrible beat if it's for 50bb or some other insignificant pot against a shortstack for example.
After this week of submitting we will elect the 'winning' hand. This person gets to upload a session of around 100 hands into our hand reviewer which will then be reviewed by Eric.
Submit your horrible awestruck beats in
this topic!
