Praios made it to the No-Limit High Stakes with a lot of commitment - although his career didn't start optimally. After the 25-year old reached the BlackMember-status from PokerStrategy he answered a couple of questons for us.

I am a 25 year old graduated economist. Yes, I guess its hard to believe, but I really do have a degree in business sciences. At first I tried to work as a controller, but I got rejected everywhere - despite my good degree. In my free time I like to do a lot of sports, preferably martial arts (Jujutsu, Taekwondo) and all kinds of card games: Doppelkopf skat and obviously poker.

I played Counterstrike. I was active in clans and we participated on LAN parties in our area where we could achieve some good results. A few first places on a smaller LAN parties with about 100 people present. It was never enough for the top-clans, but I'd say that I was pretty good at Counterstrike.

We introduced a new status in the middle of 2007: BlackMember. Only PokerStrategy players who have accumulated over 500.000 StrategyPoints can enjoy this status. This status does not only last a lifetime but it enables the player to take part in regular events organised by PokerStrategy and more. Learn more about these exclusive events:

I started poker when a friend of mine suggested opening a playmoney-account on Everestpoker. I could increase my playmoney chips further and further. At some point I watched reportage about the German poker championships on DSF where Korn also appeared. He advertised PokerStrategy in the interview and I thought that it sounded pretty interesting. I signed up, passed the quiz and started (as usual back then) playing fixed limit.
It went really well in the beginning. I worked my way through the limits and received the additional $100 in bonus. After 40 days I was forced to play FL 50c/$1 because you weren't allowed to play on the beginner tables anymore. The FL 50c/$1 limit was the lowest one on PartyPoker back then. Unfortunately I lost everything apart from 5 dollar. In my desperation I started playing no-limit with the bigstackstrategy. (Luckily microlimit-tables were introduced at this time.) It went uphill from this moment (with a few downswings

No, I have never had to move down to a lower limit. I still play NL5.000, but in comparison to the regulars, I only play if there are good tables and some fishes about. As this doesn't happen very often on this limit you won't find me there very often. I think one reason why I am so successful is because of my good table-selection. I consequently avoid the game against regulars as long as there aren't any fish at the table. I think you only have a marginal edge

I think the largest skill differences are from NL200 to Nl400 and from Nl600 to NL1.000. Nl2.000 is a lot tougher than NL1.000. The regulars on NL5.000 aren't that different to the ones on NL2.000 in my opinion.
Poker is a game where the one who makes the least mistakes wins. The higher you move up in limits the less people make mistakes. Furthermore, good regulars are a lot more resistant to tilt

Yes, that is true on the one hand. On the other hand I like to reach my personal limits. Sport makes this possible. Furthermore I like to keep in shape rather than having a figure of a typical computer nerd or something similar.
Apropos tiltresistance: I find learning to cope with tilt is a slow process. When I still played NL400, I had pretty tough tiltsessions. This doesn't really happen to me anymore. It probably depends on the personality though. Some people who are a little cholerically assessed probably tilt quite a bit more. Unfortunately those players never make it above NL400 because you can extract a lot of money from these players

Thanks a lot. I am 90% sure that I will be at the party. After all I have to get my suit as well. I would also like to greet some of my pokerhomies who accompanied me in my poker career so far and supported me along the way! I greet snog, lance, and don perignon.
