He answered questions from PokerNews while Spain and Belgium open their markets to online poker rooms and digested that France’s new legislation introduced in the summer of 2010. Discussions to be launched by the European Commission in March 2011 should be as Clive Hawkswood an opportunity for poker players in Europe to make their voices heard.

What happens there in Spain about the legalization of online poker?

Clive Hawkswood: “A bill just introduced by the Spanish government. The text sets up a licensing system for all forms of gambling online. The Spanish government plans to implement this legislation this year 2011 and to issue licenses as soon as possible in the wake. Greece, Germany and Belgium are also next on the list. ”

Why do you quote of France on this occasion as an example to be avoided in terms of regulation?

“The French system has failed to attract a number of operators required is particularly true for those offering sports paris. The main reason is to find the prohibitive tax regime and to a lesser extent, restrictions on forms of gambling permitted. According to figures provided by the ARJEL (Editor’s note: Regulatory Authority for Online Games ), it appears that the licensed operators represent only a minority on the French market . We hope that revision of the law promised in France will lead to constructive changes. For now, the current system is clearly flawed. ”

How do you see the situation in France, especially in online poker?

Poker is in a better situation. But it could be improved, specifically the return to players. Taxes are too high. Regulation should leave their rooms open tables for all players to more people at the tables. It is a political issue in most countries. The reason for the geographical limitation on the number of players? Regulation is a curious mix sometimes. I hope the politicians and ARJEL alter that.

What do you think is the reason why legislation is so positive to be negative in the end?

It is mainly a question of taxation. It is useless to have a regulatory viable if the tax system, ie the cost for establishing a business in a particular jurisdiction, leads to prevent companies to offer their services successfully.

What specifically would the rules to be put in place in Europe to make the online gaming market positive? What is the Member State that is closest to this model?

“One of the most disappointing aspects of the situation in Spain is that you could take the opportunity to develop a model for other states. For now, we could cite the courts of the United Kingdom, Denmark and Italy as offering positive schemes. Nothing is perfect. The United Kingdom does not restrict the game depending on where people are. Players can wager anywhere in the world. Taxes are not sitting on the set of players but on the income of the rooms. In Denmark, the casinos are built to regulation. Everything is regulated. When we can control a game, everything can be controlled. The Italians have about them a approach that integrates the game gradually. When poker and Paris are regulated satisfactorily, we pass the rest … ”

Belgium opens its market in March 2011 …

“Belgium will be the worst regulation. Only an operator with a license for a live casino can claim a license online. It’s unfair.”

How do you see the position of the European Commission in concert States International?

“The position of the EC will be fixed in a Green Paper on gambling online. The document is due for publication in March. The book has launched a number of infringement proceedings (Editor’s note: pre-litigation procedure ) on the gaming laws in ten Member States of the European Union. The Committee also believes that the whole situation needs a fresh look. The Green Book, which is a document providing background information and posing a number of questions is a starting point for what could be a long process to bring consistency to the regulations of gambling online in the European Union. ”

In your opinion, is it possible for poker players to have a voice in this draft legislation and how?

“It’s very possible. Consumers, like poker players, are the largest group in all these discussions. So far, this one is the least consulted by national governments and European Union. Players can and should respond individually or in groups to which they belong when governments are considering action in the field of online gaming. Effective immediately, a number of fundamental questions will be raised by the Green Paper the European Commission in the coming months. We urge the poker players to express their concerns directly or through their MPs . “

Anxious to deliver the best possible service to those facing what many consider the ultimate genius of poker online, KidPoker never leaves his home and multiply currently training sessions against some of the best players online now.

Negreanu has been “soon?

At the head of the All Time Money List with earnings of $ 14,116,191 accumulated since its appearance on the live tournament circuit and has an impressive record which included two league titles and 4 WPT WSOP bracelets, Negreanu has virtually seen it all and won it all . The player recognizes, however, belong to an older generation overwhelmed by a new horde of extremely talented players who have pushed the art of the game to new heights. On his return from Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure 2011, during which he had fought bitterly with young wolves in particular let Blom, Kid Poker said on his blog:

“The best no-limit hold’em players in the world are now very young people. It is an undeniable fact. If you take a look at the live tournament results in recent years, you’ll find that the new champions are becoming younger. Why? The young players are pushing the limits of gaming expertise in using advanced software allowing them to completely dissect the game, reviewing hands along with their friends and specialized forums and most importantly, develop a volume game much more important their elders. I know I am now part of the generation before, but there is no question that I leave the rule in the game get away and I intend to do what is necessary for progress in order to compete with the new generation. ”

Head to the grindstone

To avoid being completely bogged down by the new generation, Negreanu has therefore developed coal and she can no longer think only of online poker, an occupation that now occupies much of his time: “it’s been three weeks I did not shave, I’m out of my house only once to go drink a beer with Jennifer at Three Angry Wives Pub. The rest of the time, Negreanu “grind” as a starved Pokerstars tables to compete with some of the “young guns” of the fittest time. Kid Poker wishes also get the satut Supernova in 2011 and regularly posts on his blog the result of its sessions.

Cash game fish?

When the high stakes cash games is exploding in popularity worldwide winner ever achieved so far and where the superiority of cash game players on the tournament players is beginning to be recognized, Negreanu has the merit of recognizing these weaknesses and to humbly take in hand to get to the page of the day and in line with the times. Far from being a full cash game remained, Negreanu has often been regarded as a cash game fish fleeing a confrontation with the shark’s online. Some blame the player who built his empire in the poker tournament from the comfort of his lucrative sponsorship deal and often a lack of excessive risk-taking against real pros cash game online.

If the Kid Poker admits therefore feel overwhelmed by the new generation of gamers, there remains still in the game and not about to join the ranks of the has-beens as evidenced by his 4th place in Vienna and his second EPT seats in the WSOP Main Event in 2009 and $ 100k in the Super High Roller BCP 2011. Negreanu has probably realized that to become an eternal legend of poker, he had to rank among the top global players cash online like a Patrick Antonius or Phil Ivey. It should especially be able to become a star multitabling HU highstakes who became the supreme discipline of online poker.
Training Days

In his challenge of rivalry with the younger generation of players and tournaments e cash game, Negreanu has exceptionally hard on the training and will focus its efforts on tables $ 100 – $ 200 NLH 6 max it practical to otherwise fairly regularly since January 2010. Negreanu is up to $ 147,538.30 in 11.680 hands played. Negreanu also faces so strong and regular opponents Piston87 SkaiWalkurr Sit’n'Gos in heads-up $ 5,600 buy-in. Negreanu is doing well with 26 wins for 14 losses. Negreanu seeks primarily to address its leaks in HU 4 tables simultaneously, practice discipline he finally bit in which he will have to make much progress for the Superstar Showdown Isildur1 cons.

In this area there was rubbed Nanonoko Negreanu, who acts as an instructor in the strategy section of the U.S. version of the site PokerNews. Negreanu account arguing 20K hands in HU level of $ 5 / $ 10 to $ 25 / $ 50 before facing Isildur1.

Asked when the player is among the largest carpet in the tournament, Almira Shripchenko reflects on his journey, his first confrontations with Viktor Isildur1 Blom and explains why chess players are good poker players.
Almira Shripchenko faces Isildur1

Although she was eliminated on Day 2, Almira Shripchenko had the awesome honor of a long struggle on Day 1 against the scarecrow Viktor Isildur1 Blom, a player who is aggressive and dangerous not to crazy stuff happening around. “This is the first I saw him at a poker table live” Almira said, “I got a lot of advice from my teammates telling me ‘plays like this or like that.”

Almira Shirpchenko

Boards that have borne fruit since the player has impressed opponents and observers by its ability to play the game of Viktor Blom, rewarding its best against him and knowing hands pay bluffs in complicated situations.

Thus Skripchenko has not hesitated to follow the straight and consistent set of turbulent Swedes on a table The player Winamax unveiling Blom while throwing his cards in the discard pile. A shot wonder she explains thus: “I understand with what kind of hands he was counting one, two and three times. He bluff more often than he values ??by focusing so. Unless he bluff Ace.

Still, that kind of confrontation requires a perfect reading and a maximum concentration, two qualities which Shripchenko demonstrated against one of poker players the most feared of the circuit. “It’s not so easy” tempers the player pro, “for example when playing chess against a stronger opponent, it’s hard to feel confident.”
For ‘ChessBaby’ failures are school poker

If Almira Shripchenko refers to chess is that it excels in this discipline as one of the best players in the world (GMI International Grandmaster, the highest professional degree).

For one who has nicknamed ‘ChessBaby’ on the internet, failures are particularly effective as a school to develop several qualities essential in poker. “You learn to play chess at 5 years, acquiring concentration, technical expertise and tactic “so useful in a poker tournament.

Having thus been led by that ‘ChessBaby “chess players are destined to become good poker players. The most important thing is that since you are a child, you were thus forced to take decisions in a specific time frame. ”

Almira Shripchenko is not the only player to be spent in the chess world of professional poker, evidenced by the emergence on the tournament circuit in the American prodigy Jeff Sarwer whose youthful exploits were even the subject of a film on the big screen.

“The transition has not been so easy,” admits Almira, yet with an unintended consequence: “play poker made ??me better at chess, oddly enough!”

Winning the Grand Tournament at 1,000 € buy-in on Winamax.fr ‘Raver44 has won € 19,712.50 gains just one month after an initial victory in that tournament (€ 18,278).
Raver44: the shark is back Nantes

In August 2010, we had drawn a portrait of a player with exceptional results online Nantes (see Anthony Lorieu “Raver44″ Serial perfeur).

Since then he has continued to confirm such an FTOPS championship (Event # 10) to € 25,000 on Full Tilt Poker and won several tournaments high rollers like ‘The Ring’ of Bwin.fr .

With this new exploit and the signing of Anthony Lorieu agency for players with his colleagues Weakners Team Ronan ‘Ronando’ collar or Lawrence ApoG ‘Gauter , it was just time to go to meet Raver44 A shark with sharp teeth who can not short ideas.

Congratulations Anthony! So ……. happy?

Anthony Lorieu ‘Raver44′: “Yes I am!” Honestly, I’ve never experienced online victory happier than this. The double has a different flavor from a classic victory, especially in this tournament, where winning a Once it was already huge, but twice in a row … I would not have imagined! ”

Did you ever scored twice on another tournament?

“Yes, tripled Circle at bwin, but it’s almost akin to a sit n go”.

At what point did you say: “I can do?

“In the final table when I eliminate an opponent with KQ against AK, I told myself that if the positive setups were in favor, victory was within reach.”

Apparently the head-to-head final was hotly contested!

“More than an hour and a half heads up against fungi, it was really exciting. There were three parties in this hu, when the first was about the same stack depth and really correct, the second when conducting (longest period), and the third when I was covering. I had never faced fungi in HU, and I had to discover and learn very quickly how it worked.

I made ??some mistakes after the flop, I remember a big bluff sizing uncoordinated and inconsistent, probably because of fatigue. Nevertheless, I think I learned a great poker show times including using a fearsome weapon that served me a lot, that of the donk bet. He did not know how to react to this move, and it allowed me to go back. ”

This heads-up & pic it makes the victory even sweeter?

“Absolutely. It makes me feel really deserve the victory. Not because I have a better standard than my opponent, but mostly by my pattern. He also deserved the win .. and I thought he was revenge on the Main Event where he was well placed before the ship does * Cuts. ”

* See our article Ludovic “SirCuts” Lacay Wins Main Event (€ 25,065) .

That is a victory that falls straight down, when you sign with two colleagues for Weakners agency players. Is this a new step in your career?

“I think so because the agencies have quickly become indispensable players in the middle, and especially for profiles like us where it is difficult for players online waiting to shine on an international tournament – which began Ronando to do in Deauville – from detection.

Aces Group will put ourselves forward to the media and if necessary to sponsors. To be “sponsored” we must continue to refine this and signing with Aces Group boosts us clearly! ”

If you could choose a sponsor, what site would you prefer?

“If I had to choose a sponsor ahhh, well I think if I had the luxury to choose, I would sign for a team composed of different personalities and further where the atmosphere is pleasant collective, where we would share some unique moments. If the sponsor was an attractive room for players online, and offers beautiful tournaments, it would be a further effect.

The advent of the rooms. Com has raised fears the worst for tournament players accustomed to. Com. Increased prize pools, multiplication of rooms, what do you think of the evolution of the French market?

“I note several points about the French market of online poker tournaments. The low level players, the short game on the offer weaker, unable to play at times is desired, a offers virtually no rebuy tournament, a tendency to ensure less money to the winner (16% off the Triumph of PS). So there are good and bad points to this opening, and a personal perspective I would say that obviously I am very happy with the way the French market is changing. And to see the next SCOOP, I think we are spoiled.

Those who criticize the most tournaments. Com advance the argument of the volume of gambling, but poker is my motto “make as much money playing little as possible” I am very satisfied with the turn taken by the market. Remains a powerful argument which says that compels us, that we park between French and then an ethical standpoint, I would never agree with the ARJEL and Eric Woerth, c ‘ is simply unacceptable for obvious questions of freedom! ”

Live or online? What are your goals as a player and / or in life?

“I am sometimes torn between playing – online and live – and not play at all because I did not want to sacrifice my life in poker. I want that poker is still present in my life but my life does than just poker. Detain other projects than live poker, it is essential for me, so I come and go depending on my mood.
Soon I’ll go live in Spain, joining a political party, acting, starting a business, it’s a lot of things. I do not take the head setting myself playing when I do not want to, there is a time for everything, that’s how I win at poker, too, is limiting my playing time to be thoroughly when I play. So no, no fixed program.

Do not you fear being sponsored impinge on your freedom of choice and movement?
