How did you get started on PKR?
Well, I don’t know exactly to be honest (shame). I think it was after a friend won $17k playing poker I was looking for a poker site. I typed in ‘poker’ into google and looked at a few sites. PKR attracted me with their 3D appearance.
Where do you live?
I live in Klazienaveen, and study in Groningen. Klazienaveen is a very peaceful village/city in one of the nicest parts in the Netherlands, completely different to a city like Amsterdam. Groningen is probably the nicest city after Amsterdam. It's filled with students and there’s a genuinely nice atmosphere when you’re walking in the city. Loads of pubs, shops and student houses.
What’s your day job?
I’m a full-time student studying International Business and Management. I love the international aspect of this study - meeting a lot of different people from different countries. I finished my first year in two years (shame) but already took some second year courses, meaning I have a lot of spare time lately.
I also help my dad out in his company by ordering parts, fixing agricultural equipment etc. I am currently looking for an extra job in the consultancy scene or marketing. (Anyone on PKR recruiting? LOL)
What do you love most about poker?
The aspect of being better then someone and the ability to make money in your own home. Although I’m failing on both subjects.LOL.
Do you have a poker goal for 2010?
To win a tournament and improve my game seems to be the standard answer so I’ll go for something else. My poker goal is to go to Vegas, driving in a Ford Mustang or a Dodge Charger with an extreme hot blonde with a perfectly shaped C cup, having a Budweiser and the radio playing ‘Born in the USA’ or some Willie Nelson song - this on my way to the WSOP Final Table of course.
Who’s the best player you have come across on PKR and why?
Everyone on PKR is a huge fish, haha. No there a few players with very good aspects in certain areas. I can’t pick a person who’s good in every aspect of the game. I’d say samsl is a very good player though.
Do you have a favourite PKR tournament?
Anything which is not a shove/fold fest after one hour is a good tournament. Given this I probably should go for the Masters since that’s the best structure on PKR.
Anything in the forums made you chuckle lately?
whiskymac posts always make me chuckle, even though I am not sure whether his meaning it or not, because his posts generally seems retarded. Posts created by IneedUrChips are very good as well - very sarcastic with a sub linear message.
What’s your biggest poker achievement to date?
Money wise probably coming second in the PKR Masters or winning the PKR Open. Ego wise it’s probably the multiple times when I owned discomonkey time after time in heads-up..
If you could improve one area of your game – what would it be?
Discipline and not letting ego get in the way, this is probably my weakest part. When I get three-bet a lot I am taking it more and more personal (so please don’t do this).
Who would you be sat with at your fantasy table?
It will be six max so there’s a lot of action ;) : Thomasinder, his sister, Megan Fox, the hot blonde from the series Chuck, Carmen Electra and Discomonkey. – so I have got easy money to buy drinks for the ladies on the table. The drinks will be served by Chivalrousgent’s sister.
What do you like to do to unwind when you’re not playing poker?
Online wise, I love the multi chats with legends like XxMikeyJxX, Galwaysontilt22, Thomasinder, Buckybaby and toddswain. They're such legends and always extremely funny.
Offline, I love to work out, go to concerts and get wasted. All the pretty standard things.
