I have not posted it on the blog, either home tournament coverage, international, online poker, etc.
As you know most or are new readers, 5 years ago started making home tournaments with Erick Cabrera, as we were going home tournaments, often repurchases are lost and there was the seriousness of the case. His depa in Miraflores, one block from Atlantic became the first headquarters of the School, and decided to call Poker School, the new school, for those who do not understand, the name was not exactly because he taught to play poker but by the domain of young players in poker at that time were Negreanu and Ivey, that for those years were still marbles, not for nothing was Kid Poker.
In those years, armed tournaments 20 people, entrance 30 soles and repurchases of 30 and 50, forming wells 1000 to 2mil suns, and organized on Saturdays only at 3.30 pm. The reason was that there were only 2 casinos with poker, the Miami and the Majestic, and then the Atlantic, where the tournament was cheaper than $ 30 or 100 soles with unlimited rebuys, and for university decided to go down the entries to 30 soles.
In these tournaments the level was high and well competivives, and if we won we had cash to go play the Atlantic, etc. It was so improved our game and we were part time poker players and students of economics, and in fact allowed us to walk with big money with tournaments that we won.
In 2009, when Eric moved to another depa, started doing tournaments at my house in San Miguel, and forming soles 3mil wells up every Saturday. For this he was already retired as a player and Eric continued playing. In 2010 in the company of Nicolas decided to organize a little bigger tournaments in terms of numbers of people, lowering prices, to give young people the opportunity to play without investing a lot, unlike me I had to start at 100 soles tournaments double rebuy 200. Now practically wore the poker hands of all.
LAPT Playing Nicolas and I try to bring rules and structure to live tournaments School, and did not need to pay like 5mil soles or 2700 coconuts to play a good tournament. 3rd place with Eric, I am proven that what began as a hobby in college was hollow and made sense, although not reaching the awards at the LAPT 2010 and fell in Day 2 in puestp Lapt 80, 400, Erick might have precise hands at the right time and maximized.
Now in December, a pro player online, and successfully removed from the live poker (in the tournament is $ 11 and copper 8mil, he finished second), was in charge of the new administration and asked me to continue working with the school before the trip abroad by Nico.
For 2011 we expect to remain leaders in tournaments accessible and personally thank everyone who attended, and I congratulate the winners and follow their success.
has been rewarding to be a player, organizer of the poker tournaments and promoting and providing the opportunity for everyone to play poker.
