Hello there, my name is Daniel and I play poker on the iPoker network under the poker alias D12YAN. In a three week spell I won three $1500 speed tournaments on iPoker picking up the first place prize money of $427.69, $405 and $657.74 respectively. These speed tournaments typically take place two times a day, take 2-3 hours to complete and the initial buy-in amount varies between $2 to $3 per tournament.

In between these three wins I also cashed numerous times in further speed tournaments included a 2nd place finish for $274.97, a 3rd place finish for $165.50, a 5th place finish for $105 and two further final table finishes both in 9th place for $48.24 and $70.35 respectively.

Today’s video is intended for ‘beginners to poker’. This is because beginners will often find the buyin amounts for these speed tournaments much more obtainable and also the duration of the tournament is a lot shorter compared to the higher stake tournaments which can often run long into the night (if UK based).

So, sit back and relax and let me share with you the thoughts and insights that go through my mind on the virtual felt. If anything during this video helps you to improve your game then great! Hopefully I’ll see you at the next final table!!
