In the very Beginning...

Before I commence my first post in this blog, I'd like to quote J_Verschueren (pokerclub.be member), who said the following after the 4th PCB December Challenge tourny (which yours truly won, of course):

"Tajike speelde heel sterk en verdient dan ook van gewonnen te
hebben."

"Tajike played really strong and deserved to have
won."

Except the fact that I'm gifted with overwhelming looks, there is little that some of you might know about me and my poker playing. Thus be pleased by the fact that a curriculum will follow in this first post!

Name:
Kris Davus (aka Tajike)

Sites where I play:
PKR

Achievements:
Online: CASHES: 24 ::: FINAL TABLES: 16 ::: TOURNAMENT WINS: 4
Live: Poker 4 Charity, Grand Casino Brussels ::: 5th place out of 90 players

What do you play?
- $10 & $20 shorthanded (max 6 players) Sit 'n' Go's
- Multi Table Tournaments (MTT's): $5, $10 & $20 buy-in + occasionally freerolls


Poker resolutions for 2007?
* Try to resume to play with the same consistency as the last couple of months
* Specialize myself in full table SnG's
* Equal or improve the 4 tournament wins of last year
* Play a medium/big national or international tournament

Well?
* Because of school I only started the year in February: first MTT result of the year was 18th place in a 400+ player field. Consistency is bliss...
* Don't like full table SnG's, played 3 of them though in the last 2 weeks: 1 x 3th, 2 x 2nd.
* No big tournament win yet...
* I'm playing in the € 65 buy-in Flemish Poker Challenge Qualifier on April 1st @ Casino Kursaal Oostende. Top x players get a seat in the Final Tournament (€ 500 buy-in & + € 10 000 for the winner)

Favourite players:
Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Prahlad Friedman, Phil Ivey

Favourite hand:
Just like the blog title: 62 offsuit (cracked AA with them once, my lucky cards since then)

Favourite poker shows:
High Stakes Poker & Poker After Dark

Bankroll:
Four digits, that's all I have to say

Bad Beat story:
Losing 3 times on the same day in 3 different tournaments (2 homegames & 1 online) with QQ vs a Straight on the turn, made with crappy hole cards (75o, T9o & K7o)

Best moment in poker:
Final table at Poker 4 Charity: it's a fantastic feeling to play at the final table of your first live tournament in front of a decent crowd.

So now you know something more about me. Join me next time when we go a bit deeper into my poker world!
