PartyPoker.com’s last $300K Guaranteed Sunday of the year was won by pro player High11th from Stockholm, Sweden, who took home just over $44,000 after a three-way deal.<\/p>\n

In total 1,646 players sat down for the $215 event, building an impressive prize pool of $329,000.<\/p>\n

Qualifiers for the $300K Guaranteed Sunday<\/a> run each day on PartyPoker.com – and if you want to do well, then take some of the advice given by 33-year-old High11th, who plans to plough his winnings back into his bankroll. He said: “I think people tend to play too tight and don’t realise the value of building a stack.<\/p>\n

“You have to realise that poker is a game of chance as well as a game of skill – and sometimes you have to take risks to build a stack. You can’t win every tournament you play, even if you play them perfectly, so just accept that you sometimes run into set ups that you can’t get out of.<\/p>\n

“If you start to consider legendary folds with K-K pre flop, then you are just going to fool yourself in the long run. If you are up against A-A, then just accept it and realise you would have had the best hand nine times out of ten.”<\/p>\n

However, High11th added that you should be folding a good hand after the flop if you think you are well behind. “There was a key moment in my $300K Guaranteed Sunday tournament early on. I made a very strong fold early in the game when I raised with A-Q pre-flop up to 300. Blinds were 50\/100. The flop came 9-J-Q with two clubs. I bet it and got one call. The turn was a 3 of spades and I bet again and he re-raised me.<\/p>\n

“I had a strong hand but I was 100% sure I was beaten, so I folded.”<\/em><\/p>\n

High11th: Another big online win <\/em><\/p>\n

High11th has been playing poker since he was a kid, when he would take on his grandmother for fun. Now he plays full time and has an excellent online multi-table tournament record. As well as PartyPoker.com’s $300K Guaranteed Sunday, he has won a $200K guaranteed event, come second in the same one, and won a $45K guaranteed tournament three times!<\/p>\n

But beware, his ambition is “to improve my poker skills”!<\/p>\n
