Enrique, the spiritual player. Enrique is not a common player. Born in Catalunya but living in Huesca, he is one of those players who is self learned and got the essence of Texas Hold'em.
At this moment Enrique is a poker professional. He started to play Texas only a year ago but he quickly learned about the strategy with his friend Jordanas who made the interest grow inside Frade. He went to Valencia , where he met Hector Fuentes, who has written a couple of Spanish guidelines to improve the game. There he also met players such as Pakito learning some other secrets to success. Now he and his friends are giving private poker classes where they study and make exercises to improve their game.
The probe that these classes are working came in October 2006 when he started to play Texas tournaments regularly at the Casinos. He made 8 final tables with 5 second positions and finally, the victory at Barcelona , within the Spanish Poker Championship which he likes because of its structure that he says permits a more technical playing and gives less importance to luck.
His aim for this year, obviously, is to win the Championship and to improve himself.
From EuroSuperPoker.com we wish the best of luck to him.
Congratulations!!
