Some highlights:
By early 2012, Viktor had not only become very good at PLO- he’d become the toughest opponent I’ve ever played against.
Now he’s one of three opponents that I play with but genuinely have no clue whether I have an edge or not. I’m going to keep the other two to myself, sorry.
Some fun facts: Viktor doesn’t use any kind of poker database or HUD, and he doesn’t watch any training videos. In fact, he hasn’t used any of the resources that almost all full time online pros have.
If you could have heard him describe playing the $50k 8-game WSOP event, which included six games he didn’t know how to play, you’d understand what I mean. He was so excited to be playing in such a huge event and to attempt to learn the games on the fly. He looked like a kid in an arcade who’s Dad had just given him $500 worth of quarters.
I’m extremely jealous of the amount of fun that he has playing poker, and I’m someone who loves the game more than most.
