Hello !

My name is Alex, and its the first time i`m gonna be selling on 2p2. I`ve been playing poker for 10+ years and professionally for about 6 years. In the last 5 of them, my focus has been almost 100% on mtts, live and online. Online you might know me as steakaddict. and before that tilt21sted on pokerstars, ur_jst_ignorant on the old ( sadly ) ftp, Francois Lee on wmx, etc.



This is my full mtt graph, my road to HS started with a SM bink ( std, right? ) after which i tried to play higher, and failed. I joined a stable quickly after that in 2013, and the owner of the stable back then is still to this day my main investor and my coach. He plays NLH 6m cash high stakes online and live as his main game. Since starting working with him around the summer of 2013 ( just before my 2nd bink on the graph ) i started to win constantly and felt i was improving hugely day by day. We`re still working together, even tho not at the same intensity as when i was going up the stakes.

I also joined BitB as a coach this year.

Best online results:



Live, i started playing in high school in cashgames, mostly when skipping school with friends, i loved the game instantly and i quickly become on of the best in those games. After, I found some juicy higher stakes homegames in my hometown and grinded those for a while, getting me some nice spending money at that age ( 18-19y old ). After, when moving cities to university i found online poker. Then again it was time to switch to live after i beat online poker. This time the change didn`t come as easily, and for 1-2 years in 2012-2014, i only made 3 cashes and played around 10 live fests. The slower paced live poker and bad opponents were tilting me insanely and i couldn`t focus and play my best. I think i bricked like 5 or 6 consecutive EPTs. Then i decided i have to do something about it, so i took one year completely off live poker and played only online, while working on my mindset and tilt control. I returned to live poker in the summer of 2015, i shipped a small mtt in my first live stop, and it all went smoothly from there.

At the moment i feel i have a good understanding of live mtt dynamics, i enjoy it a lot, i have a decent grasp on live tells and i`m not afraid to trust my instincts. I would say i`m now mainly a live player, a term i wouldn`t even accept 2 years ago

It isn`t all roses, this last year i ran pretty bad online, had a bad scoop with a lot of near ft finishes, but i`d say i am a fair guy and always show the swings and accept it. Also i don`t like to over-hype my results. Year to date online results:



I`m coming after a long 50 days vegas trip, from which i grinded like 45, and a bracelet won <3. I mostly trained and slept since i returned, only playing one sunday session in which i scored a 1st in a 100 6max on wmx for 11k+ euro.

I`m looking to sell for some HS mtts in Miami and Barca in august, as in the link below:

* references: patrick leonard, ozgur arda, patrick serda, ognian dimov, and more. if its not enough, let me know where you`re from and i can probably find someone to vouch for me.
* i will sell every event separately, minimum 2%, 10%+ pieces will have priority.
* i withhold 1% of any cash due to taxes in my country.
* i can take skrill euro / usd and cash in miami or barcelona. sorry, no transfers on sites in my country.

I can confirm I've done numerous large $$ transactions with Alex and have nothing but good things to say. I've bought his action in the past and will likely be taking a chunk of this.

He is also starting to upswing live. Get it while it's hhhoootttt.

wanted to add that i`m not gonna re-enter any of the events. my edge is more deep-stacked and even though i`m good with ICM and i think i have a better understanding of it then most live regs, re-entering this fast paced events in 20-40bbs would increase my variance more than necessary.

Hello. Been a hectic couple of days, didn't have time time to post the miami 25k report, but now looked over it and it wasn't anything spectacular.

So I'll just post one or two interesting hands from that one, and my bustout hand from the 10k today, which was more interesting, probably punted off. Finished in 40 smth place out of 166 runners, 23 itm.

Arrived in Barca yesterday and immediately jumped in the 10k on close to no sleep, run up my stack to 150k from 50k just to lose it all back in the last lvl of the day in like 6 small to medium lost pots in a row. Started day2 with 51.2k at 1/2k blind levels, i had one of the toughest table in the tournament. I think i played 4 hands in 3 levels, last one being pretty interesting. I will post it tomorrow.

There has been a (probably terrorist) attack in barcelona today. 13 dead and much more injured. Fcked up. Condoleances to the victims families
As far as i know no poker player was harmed. Atm things are going back to normal.

Stay safe guys!

bricked both 50k and 25k in barcelona. i had probably the best table in the 50k, but decided to bluff the recreational for 1/3 of my stack late in the 1st day ( a hand i misplayed ) , and lost another couple standard big pots to finish just over starting stack. i grinded up to around 2.5x starting stacks at some point. 2nd day i lost all my preflop allins, 3 or 4, chopped AA v A5s and busted far off the money.

25k was quite uneventeful, lost 1/2 of my stack fast, missed FD in a spot i couldn`t bluff the river and then lost a flip for my last 20bbs in 6th level or so.

all in all it was a good experience, fields were better than expected and i think i played good, made a couple of mistakes too.

decided against posting any report here, as the topic didn`t get enough traction on 2p2 and only my usual buyers got any action. if they wan`t i can provide it privately.

doing the numbers now and will send reports to everybody today.

will sell more action in the future, let me know if 2p2 users think i can do more to make this more attractive for you guys. i`m open to suggestions.
