Dream Team Honour Board
The inaugural winner of the Dream Team Score Board was Aaron Kleeman from South Australia. Here�s what Aaron had to say about the honour.
What winning the DT was like?
In a word, awesome. It was a culmination of the time and effort I had put into poker over the last few years. And particularly the long grind of last season. It was nice to be the first ever DT winner, too.
What sort of strategy did you use for tournament play?
I didn't have one. I just played my cards and my opponents. Position, board texture, hand/shoving ranges etc. Not until the latter weeks did I employ any kind of strategy - which was minimal at best. All I could do was take dab tournament as it came.
How did you get it through it all?
It wasn't easy. There were times when I wanted to throw it all away. But I kept reminding myself what I had been fighting for all season - the prestige, the $5,000. Encouragement from the lads on the forum was a big help.
How you felt at the end of the season?
Relieved. The last month was a rollercoaster. I had issues with 888 and my account was locked for 2 weeks, in that time my lead dropped from 30 points to 5. After having a comfortable margin all season, this was quite worrying. So yeah, when I had the win locked up it was a very nice feeling.
How you felt when Mike (Mike Raines our second place getter) was on your tail?
I have great respect for Mike as a player. On one level, I actually enjoyed the challenge he gave me as it made me strive to win, pushing me forward. The camaraderie between us was great and in time we became good mates. I have no doubt that had he played an entire season he could very well be on top. But there were times when I wanted him to <nick> off
Just found this little gem while exploring the new website (which looks great)....
If you ask me, Muhammed Ali in his prime was much better than anti lock brakes.
