I qualified for a DSO ! 1

Here at Chilipoker, we like to be close from our players. This is why I got in touch with “x4v1ar” to get his impressions when he qualified for the Chilipoker Deepstack Open Costa Brava, a couple of weeks ago.

Chilipoker: Where do you come from, who is ”x4v1ar” ?

x4v1ar: Hi, im a 29 years old guy, I live in Warsaw/Poland,and I work full-time as an IT Engineer. My hobbies are obviously poker but also formula1, motorcycles & cars, snowboard, films, music (many kinds). I’ve starded playing poker 2 years ago and now playing online cash games 6max NLHE on a regular basis

What limits/games do you play and do you play live often ?

I’m a cash game player, mostly shorthanded 6max NLHE games. My limits are from $2/$4 to $5/$10. Most of the time (like 95%) I play online.

How did you hear about the Chilipoker DeepStack Open ?

I’ve heard about the DeepStack Open from my poker buddies from Poland, and it will be my first DSO event.

Why did you decide to try the satellites for this tournament, and how did you qualify ?

I heard that many of my buddies will be playing this DSO event and I’ve never been to Costa Brava before, so I decided to give it a chance. The tournament structure and the place looks very promising. I qualified through the weekly satelite €40+€4 R/A

How did your super satellite go ? Have you been the chip leader all the way ? did you get lucky ?

Well I’ve never been the chipleader but rather had an average stack all the way.There was a couple of lucky situations I guess, coinflips that I won, etc. At the end I had a streak of good hands and that was crucial – thanks to this I was able to win the package. In poker you always need a bit o luck

What do you think about the destinations of this season’s DSO ?

The whole series is so great because of the structure and destinations. I love Chilipoker’s idea about organizing such live tournament series. Places are great, after Costa Brava (it will be my first visit there) I’m planing also to visit Marrakesh, Malta, Paris, Vienna. Great cities, a lots of places to discover!

How do you prepare for a tournament like the Chilipoker DSO ? And do you think you’re going to win ? :p

Well it would be nice to end up in the money, but its poker. Nice deep structure and long blind levels helps better players so its less luck-dependent, but sill its poker so u never know I’m not gonna prepare in any special way, tournaments are not my primary game, so I’ts gonna be more like fun to me.

Anything you want to add ? Anything you want to say ?

DSO look like a great live series, I hope that Chili will continue this year over year! Great idea and good job, guys! I also want to wish all the best and luck at the tables to all my friends playing DSO @ Costa Brava!

Well thank you “x4v1ar”, and we wish you and your mates the best of luck for this event, starting on Thursday.
