European Poker Tour Warsaw! The winner, Joao Barbosa, actually celebrated his birthday winning the Tour. This earnings are not bad, €367,141 top prize!

I would rather say that I don’t like how the word Warsaw sounds since it’s like War and a Saw, I mean how could a country be named like that. ANYWAY…

Barbosa took a substantial chip lead into heads-up play, but the stacks were close enough that the two players took their time feeling each other out before making any major moves. Finally, after a lengthy heads-up match, all the money went in the middle preflop, and the cards went on their backs for the last time.

• Nico Behling raised preflop with J7s. Barbosa re-raised with ATs, and Behling moved all in.

The Tour was organized by Pokerstars.com

Think more, work less

God, that sounds good, working less is definitely important for human kind. Why? Becouse we are reasonable animals, we decide that meanwhile we earn more, working less is ok.

Why would I spend time thinking, instead of working?

• Often if you don’t think properly the situation before starting to (play poker for example) work you miss the point and you need to start all over. In some cases, this situation have no end, looping for ever.
• Sometimes when you don’t think first, you do things that actually you don’t want. Thinking what we want requires time, it varies depending of the fastness of reasoning on that peculiar situation. (and with the person)

This should be enough reason for everyone to start thinking first and then working.

Anyway, I just remembered this is a Poker Blog.
