Patriiiiick! On the evening of April 1, the entire team of Club Poker Radio has had the privilege of hosting a poker player like no other. And no, it was not a fish ... Neither rumor nor the guest!
Patrick (and yeah, "we are there first name terms" as saying the yankees. "Huge Brag," as they say) is not the most technical player in the world. His poker, he lives on instinct, hand by hand, with the will to win. Instant and intuitive considerations override our long-termesques and our EV combinatorial calculations. A passionate old school ...

Here is a man who won many challenges and conquered crowds much more demanding than did the Hellmuth, Negreanu and Brunson others. Until prefer bracelets hands of his conquests as his own?

At the end of its session, he stood with a stack of impressive racks of chips 100 euros, nonchalantly, with the ease and this air crafty type who succeeded and who is not afraid to show it. He's in the blood, and it shows. At the time, I felt that this man was not, as it is usually a "singer slash actor" who distracted poker but a "poker player who spends time playing comedy and singing. "
Then of course there is the theory of cycles of luck and bad luck that made him smile a lot of players ... In my opinion, nothing more than superstition honest, shared by some prestigious players (including Brunson), and takes as much intuition as irrational. I do it throws not the stone. After all, everyone is responsible for criteria on which to base his own choice. I feel that the friend Pat 'is doing not too bad so far ...
