Elky's Seat at the WSOP

Well, sorry for the delay in the updates, Elky has been playing online at pokerstars like a mad man and his bank roll is getting pretty big at this point. He is also acting as an inspiration to his friends who got pissed off that Elky was doing so well, so they've all move up in the limits as well.

Things have been generally up for Elky, in March he won 40k, but in the first week of April he was up about 15k, but then when on tilt on lost 40k in a day. eek. But he's back up to speed now and is doing quite well. Check him out playing on pokerstars, here is there playing the maximum of 5 tables, but its too bad that he can't play 10 anymore, but I think its really making him focus a bit more. ^^

Elky made to the pokerstars pop up news of winning his seat at pokerstars at this years World Series of Poker. Actually a French TV station, TF1 may either come to Korea or LasVegas to film him play, its a big deal as Elky is still France's own beloved gamer so they thinks he is something to be proud of. ^^ But its great, Elky may have a big retirement party here in Korea for the French crew when they come in sometime in June.

At this point, Elky is obviously a much strong online poker player, maybe he will be the top online player, but while live tournament play is a bit boring for him, he is really getting into enjoying the company of the international community of poker players. I think he may start to ask for some lessons from some poker greats, but they're pretty expensive and they also sometimes work on a winning percentage take from tournaments. But Elky's still young enough to make mistakes on his own and figure somethings out yet.

What im going to attempt to do get get a daily diary from Elky of what he's been up to and get it posted up here every 3 days or so. Its not like we're not trying to update this site, but since the EPT finished up, online gaming has been where its at. But I think people are becoming just as interested in his online gaming style, so hopefully i'll get some screenshots up.

There is one great moment last month where he was playing heads up for 5k and they guy he was playing against fell asleep and folded every hand. So Elky won 5k by using his skill of pressing the call button every hand and won. I kid you not. ^^

So I guess the lesson for today is; if you're gonna donate to the Elky fund, just play heads up with him and go to sleep. Thanks ^^.
