NewsThe smarter you play, the luckier you'll be!
With just $30, Macedo played online poker until $30 became $2 million, this according to Macedo, who told his tale in the Two Plus Two poker forum. Raised solely by his widowed mother, Macedo wrote: “My Mum would always tell me that my father admired brave men, that he admired men who took risks and took life by the horns.” Always talented at math, at aged 16, Macedo was inspired by poker pro Tom “Durrr” Dwan and began learning everything he could about the game of poker. Macedo then invested $30 to play on an online poker site and began at the 1c/2c cash tables for 6-10 hours everyday, eventually turning his $30 into $2,500 over the course of a month. He began working his way up in the stakes until he reached $5/$10 NL Hold’em games – which is when he began to experience a bit of a losing streak, but Macedo pressed on, talked to pros in the poker circuit and began to grind back up. At his present level, Macedo is playing $25/$50 and $50/$100 heads-up NL Hold’em and boasts over $2 million in poker winnings. We know it is a game of emotional and mathematical calculations and no one said it better than Mark Pilarski "The smarter you play, the luckier you'll be."
1. If you lose, you will have a bad memory of the game that left you with no money at all, when it is in fact your fault for not being responsible and for not thinking through your actions. 2. When playing with the fear of losing a lot of money and money that you can’t afford to lose, you will more than likely end up losing, unfortunately. Think about this one for a while. You will most certainly lose because your game will be affected by the constant frustration that arises from your worries for your money. So, avoid these situations by playing an amount you wouldn't care about. Just think of it as if it was an expense to buy a game, and now you are playing that game you paid for. This way the worries can be ignored and your playing style can really become what it needs to. If you have a normal profession or one more basis of profits, then the above strategy should suit your case. But when you plan to play poker for an income, then stuff gets difficult. A professional poker player has no source but his bankroll. The bankroll has at all times to remain intact so it can generate income. Therefore you are urged to find your comfort level and decide on what your limit is and stick with that in order to gradually grow. A professional poker player has learned his limits by now. He knows exactly how much he is playing, and he knows how much he should leave online and how much to put in a bank or invest in the stock market after a win. Do not increase a good playing limit until you’ve hit your comfort level and are ready to part with a higher bankroll. Poker is a game that is enjoyed by thousands of men and women all over the world and we at SunPoker are dedicated to keeping it as enjoyment without any frustration.
When asked what, if anything, he was doing differently with his poker game in 2011, Erik Seidel had this to say: “Well, the only thing I’m really doing different is I hired a poker coach in early January. But then he lost his job on the TV show ‘Two and a Half Men,’ so now I don’t know what I am going to do.” That’s right. Erik Seidel just won $750,000 and he is making jokes about Charlie Sheen. This is what we call winning. All jokes aside, this years Heads-Up championship was a real challenge to Seidel after five straight years of failing to get out of the first round. But something is definitely different with the Poker Pro this year as his path to the finals wasn't easy by any means, he had to defeat, in order, Allen Cunningham, Jennifer Harman, Phil Gordon, Vanessa Selbst and Andrew Robl. Then, in the finals, he had to deal with a very tough Chris Moneymaker, who felled several legends of the game on his own path to the finals. Modestly, Seidel comments on the match by honoring Andrew Robl as his toughest opponent; “There really were a lot of tough matches. Robl was really tough and that was one that really stood out to me.” Seidel closes off by saying “I kind of expect it will be a temporary thing,” he said following his latest win. ”But I’m happy to be there for the moment.” We hope it’s a long ride for you Erik! Congrats again! Here are the complete money results from the 2011 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship: 1st: Erik Seidel - $750,000
