Poker Club

How did you discover the poker?

Gaëlle Baumann: As much, while playing with friends. It was 5 years ago whereas I was coed with Perth in Australia. Besides I remember to have had a chance of beginner for my very first part by shaving all the table literally. Pricked by the play, I then was to see how that occurred on the Net. I started to play on line, on www.poker.fr at the time, by depositing 100 . I said myself I takes the risk to invest this large sum for a coed, to see, and if I lose all, I stop!

And you did not lose

Not, I continued to play small like that during step badly of time, the sit & go and the MTT mainly. Until trying my chance, on the advised councils of a friend who could locate the good spots and the most profitable tournaments, on a Pokerstars tournament which brought together 180 players And there, surprised, I gain by gaining 1500 $, certainly reperdus entirely a few days later. A little disgusted, I turn to the cash-range in 2009. With the six-max, then not badly in heads-up where there I arrive at grinder 7000 $ in the six months space. I never stopped since

How you are you makes a small name in the medium?

I gained a participation in the Limpers challenge in 2010, which consisted in being coachée for six months with the objective to reach 50000 $. I stagnated for three months, then the three remainders, I accumulated 22000 $. The contract with half was thus filled but I draw a superb experiment from it.

Since when do live you poker exclusively?

I initially made a point of finishing my studies of English translator, to have an exit door if. I had my diploma in 2008 and even assembled my translation company, without never opening it finally. I live poker, well in spite of the phenomenon of variance, since approximately 1 year and half. I play, obviously on Winamax, in limits 2/4 every days.

How were you recruited by the TEAM Winamax?

I belong to the Room Hero Winamax to play very regularly and much on Winamas and Stephan Matheu (the coach of the team, note) all simply called me! And there, obviously, not question of mégoter, to negotiate though it is, one says yes immediately! What arrives to me is brilliant, these is a dream which takes form. And it is not a simple formula to say that for me. I remember to have crossed them some time ago at the time of a tournament and, by seeing them, to say to me , it wow would be really the dream, one day, of being able to be about it How what!

Your objectives for the next months?

I have a one year old contract. The objective is obviously of performer in tournaments, a exercise which I do not control. It is thus necessary to improve to me, learn and gain to prove with the wire of the months that I will be able to resign for one year more!
