Matt Kay ha il suo momento fortunato - vince all'ECOOP III e IV

11 giugno 2009

Il giocatore di Titan Poker Matt Kay ha incassato un'altra vittorie all'ECOOP.

“La cosa che mi piace di più dell'ECOOP… è che vinco gli eventi!”, racconta ridendo Matt dopo la sua ultima vittoria all'ECOOP IV #1 (250.000$ Premio Garantito). “Questo forse spiega perché è la mia serie di tornei preferita. In generale, i premi garantiti sono eccezionali, le strutture di payout sono perfette, e la grande varietà di eventi è davvero buona”, ha affermato Kay.

Matt ha giocato a poker online per 4 anni. Ha iniziato a giocare a casa con amici quando era al liceo. “Era per divertimento...piccole puntatre, ma volevo sempre essere il migliore e vincere. Poi ho iniziato a giocare online. Nel gennaio 2007 ho pagato 215$ per entrare ad un torneo ed ho vinto un premio di 200.000$, e da quel momento ho solo continuato a vincere." Ci ha raccontato Matt.

Quando gli abbiamo chiesto di raccontarci un momento indimenticabile della sua vittoria all'ECOOP IV #1, Matt ci ha raccontato la seguente storia: “Ho giocato in modo davvero aggressivo intorno al I had been very aggressive around the bubble, which had just broken and I had shoved over a raise of the last hand proprio prima che ciò succedesse. Ho alzato I raised 4500 @ 1000/2000 in the CO and both the SB and BB called. I had QK. The flop was Q 9 3 rainbow. The guy in the SB led out 10k. My thought process was very fast for this hand as I wanted him to think I was weak. I thought his lead out was weak, and I know I had been really aggressive. He had 54k to start the hand, I had 110k. As soon as it got to be my turn, I instantly shoved over (this is a pretty big shove). I figured since I had been so aggressive he might just get fed up and call light thinking that I was just making a move. They immediately called with 66. I did not think I would get called THAT light, but it was an awesome hand and a really big pot. I was in 1st before this hand, so afterwards I had a huge lead with about 80 left.”

Matt does not think that he used a unique strategy to take the ECOOP tournaments. “I just played my normal poker game, and made a few adjustments. I've developed a style that works really well on Titan Poker and when it is combined with a little luck, it has helped me do very well on Titan Poker over the past 6 months”, he stated.

It is definitely skill and not luck that has catapulted Matt Kay into the big winnings. Our feeling at Titan Poker is that we have not yet heard the last of him.
