PartyPoker player Uptheladder1 from Canada is the latest qualifier to the upcoming World Poker Tour in Venice, Italy. Check out his story:<\/p>\n

\"\"What route did you take to the final WPT Venice Satellite?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Won $40 to the $375 and then won $375 to the event on second try; had finished 5th the week before with 3 seats available.<\/p>\n

Tell me how the final WPT Satellite went. What were the key moments?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Made some very good decisions; both in terms of hands played and folds. Getting deep in tournaments always seems to require a healthy balance of patience, good luck, big folds and sound decision making.<\/p>\n

Tell me about your PartyPoker story.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have been playing with PartyPoker on and off for a few years; prefer to play live but access in Canada to live play requires travel so PartyPoker offers a secondary option. The software is as realistic to live play of all the sites on the internet and the tournament structures allow for poker to be played as opposed to a “shove fest” so I prefer it over the balance of the options on the net.<\/p>\n

What do you think about WPT?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Certainly have watched the WPT on TV so am excited about my first WPT event. As a poker hobbyist, and after playing some other live events, it was always a goal to add the WPT to my experiences\/resume.<\/p>\n

Any poker players you would love to meet and play against at WPT\u00a0Venice?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just happy to attend and be able to visit Italy. Would be nice to meet Kara Scott and Mike Sexton<\/a>; Sexton is such a gentleman and a great ambassador for poker. Felipe Ramos and I played at the LAPT Punta Del Este and clashed several times; be nice to say hello again! Amongst favorite players, probably Antonio Esfandiari and Daniel Negreanu would top my list; both tend to be chatty at the tables just like me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
