Titan Team member Mohamed Ali Azabi (Germany) competed in one of the most prestigious poker tournaments in all of Europe - the EPT Dortmund in Dortmund, Germany. This is his reflection of the event.

Day 1 - March 10th

I was very excited during the first day of the event due to the large number of famous players in attendance. This caused me to plan on playing aggressively and to always call, but throughout the competition I changed my strategy to best fit the situation. This is the main reason why I had 30,000 chips after the first round. We had to play for eight hours in a row, which was very difficult for me. So at the end of the day, I had only 10,500 chips left.

Day 2 - March 11th

At my table everybody had more chips than me, so my strategy was to go All-In. This is why I ended up with a well deserved 50,000 chips until the next to last round. I had some bad luck which caused me to lose. When I decided to go All-In the last time, I lost with AK against QQ! After an exhausting day, I finished in 52nd place and won 8,300 Euro.

Titan Poker congratulates you on an excellent performance and thanks you for a great tournament. See you at the next one!
