Winner of the July 25th $250 Freeroll

Kaspars Kajaks from Latvia

Kaspars Kajaks from Riga, the capital of Latvia, who won our $250 on July 25^th 2007 is relatively new to the game of poker.

But that didn't stop him, for example, from learning how to play Badugi (a draw poker variant) in 15 minutes just before entering a tournament and finishing it as runner-up!

Kaspars: I only play poker online. Recently I've been trying to play live tournaments and only sometimes with friends for fun (but that doesn't count)

Kaspars: I try to play only Texas Holdem No-Limit. I sometimes try Omaha and I also like Badugi.

777: In poker, do you have a certain playing style or strategy?

Kaspars: Interesting question. I think not, I play in a different way every time; I need to feel the game. If I feel it, I play successfully.

777: What tips can you give other poker players?

Kaspars: Tips? There are no tips, just feelings. I follow my feelings when I play – that's my tip: trust yourself.

777: How many hours a day do you spend playing poker?

Kaspars: It changes, I can play 12 hours in one day and just a few minutes on another day but on average I play 4 hours a day.

Kaspars: I love nature, fishing, camping, random trips, also clubs and driving all night with my car.
