Player Presentation in English:

Before becoming a poker player I did fencing professionally for over 5 years. My live poker experience is around 4 years old; the start was in one of the local casinos in Riga (Latvia). I participated in many tournaments in different European countries – I had ups and downs as everyone does. I learned about
online poker after getting a job in one of the poker-rooms where I stayed for approximately a year. Currently I play both online and live poker. The GSOP Live event in Malta will be the 2nd event for me in this great series of poker events.

Player Presentation in Russian:

До покера, более 5 лет, я профессионально занимался фехтованием. В живой покер играю 4 года, начинал с местного казино г. Риги (Латвия). Участвовал в турнирах в разных странах Европы - складывалось по-разному: были и взлёты и падения. С онлайн-покером познакомился, попав на работу в один из покер-румов крупной сети, где проработал около года. Теперь всё время играю паралельно онлайн и в живую. Турнир GSOP Live на Мальте станет для меня вторым турниром из этой отличной серии живых покерных турниров.

This will be a busy week here at the RedKings Blogs, Ramzi Jelassi begins his quest for EPT title in Barcelona tomorrow and on wednesday GSOP Live Malta kicks off. We made our previous record of precense in October in Riga - and now we easily broke the record! We will have 37 players from 11 countries proudly wearing the RedKings colors!

In February we will be even bigger in Bucharest, and remember that YOU can join the Team too! So follow the tweets, follow the updates, stay tuned for surprise blogs promotions and remember that GSOP Live Bucharest satellites are running all the time!

Player Presentation:

I started playing poker about four years ago inspired by the WPT-broadcasts and my friends. I got in to the action playing with a $10 dollar No Deposit bonus and never looked back. I have never had to deposit my own money. In the beginning I was experimenting with Fixed Limit Hold´Em but quickly moved to Sit&Go´s and then to No Limit cash games.
Nowadays I mostly play cash games with the focus in NLHE, but I sometimes give Omaha a chance or two. Just for a change I still occasionally play some tournaments too. I have always liked playing live, and this summer I made my first poker trip to Las Vegas. So far I haven´t played bigger Live Tournaments, but I have high expectations for GSOP Live Malta. Whenever I play, I play to win!

Good luck to everyone and enjoy!

Our next RedKings Qualifier, Sami Turunen, is a man of experience. He was playing poker before most of our Qualifiers were even born. In his own words:

“Hi Kids, I started playing poker 30 years ago.

Alright then.. that was 5-card Stud (if I remember) when I was 10-years old or something, and I forgot the game and all its variations completely for the next 25+ years.. so that much for the experience.

Nice to be back though: I found poker (online) just about 5 years ago when WSOP events started to showing on TV -and I was right into it again; been playing cash games and MTTs “50/50″ ever since.

About Live tournaments.. I don’t often get a chance to play them and this GSOP Malta is actually my first MTT outside the casino in Helsinki where I live (I occasionally play there for fun, both cash and MTTs). So I’m really looking forward to this - I really like the athmosphere in live games and I get to see people I know, but rarely meet “offline” =)

See you at (Final?) Tables!”

The next GSOP Live Malta qualifier we are introducing you is a long-time RedKings regular Tapio Koivisto from Finland. Like many Finns Tapio keeps it short and pithy:

“I´ve been playing poker for about seven years now, I´m a SnG regular and occasionally play MTTS too. I don´t play big Live events very often - and haven´t had any success in the ones I´ve played so far - so I´m really looking forward to GSOP Live Malta”

Player presentation in English:

Three years ago there was a poker boom in Russia and I started playing too, having $50 in my account. I was playing 12 NL2 cash tables at a time as well as different kind of cheap satellites. In one of them I qualified to a 250k gtd. tournament in which I finished 15th. I also decided to try some cheap offline tournaments in a local poker club and my first experience appeared to be very lucky – I took the 1st place. Having a decent starting bankroll I went for $5 SNG 10max, six months later I was already playing at $54 with a good ROI. Later after reading some posts of hiNt (editor’s note: a well-known Russian player) I changed 10max to 6max $54-$108 SnG and also started discovering MTTs where I managed to go up to $525 limits. Now I am interested in HU SnG’s.
Player Presentation in Russian:

Я начал играть 3 года назад , во времена покерного бума в России.
Я стартовал с 50$ и начал играть НЛ2 кеш на 12 столах, также время от времени играл различные дешевые саттелиты, в одном из которых я отобрался в турнир с гарантией 250к и занял там 15-ое место. В это же время я первый раз попробовал поиграть дешевые оффлайн турниры в местном покерном клубе, и в первом же турнире 10+ Rebuy мне улыбнулась удача – я занял 1-ое место. Имея приличный стартовый банкролл, я перешел на 5$ sng 10max, через полгода я уже играл на 54$ с неплохим рои. Почитав посты Хинта о бесперспективности 10max, я перешел в 6max sng 54-108$, а также начал учиться играть MTT, где, поймав удачную полосу, мне за пару месяцев удалось быстро подняться до лимитов 525$. Сейчас я начал изучать дисциплину husng.
