Net Poker Review

With an exotic name and roots in Hamburg, Moritz, has done Germany proud with his winning streak at pro poker at such a young age and with so little gaming experience (Moritz began playing poker seriously only 4 years before he won online cash poker tournaments).

This 28 year old poker star has enjoyed lots of early success in both his favorite card game as well as his personal life. He married his sweetheart Jessica just 3 years after striking it big in pro poker (July 2008) and first picked up the bug for participating in pro poker tournaments in 2005. This is when he started playing online poker with the largest virtual card room today – yes, we are talking about Pokerstars.com, the site that is regarded as the Mecca of pro poker fans looking to rake in the big pot wins.

He secured third place in the WCOOP Second Chance tournament hosted by PokerStars, which gave him the necessary shot in the arm to compete in other events and found himself at an enviable first place during the EPT Deauvile. This first place win ensured Moritz his seat at the EPT Final table round hosted in Monte Carlo with the final table worth pegged at 10,000 Euros.

So far, Moritz has enjoyed 8 cash wins in his career and his financial portfolio contains $2,184,567 in total winnings from various games, among which he finished at first place in 2 of these events. He has a ProRank 1 position of 98.

His nickname is ‘Catennacio’ and Moritz is one of the few modern FulTiltPoker players who love to play aggressive and won’t give up without a fight, which is a trait that has held him in good stead in exclusive tournaments at the international level, such as the WPT where he won the Bellagio Cup VI honor. His prize money totaled more than 875,000 but Moritz claimed that the feel of victory was more precious.

Of course, it is his relentless pursuit of opponent’s weaknesses and endurance to play a tough game at final tables too that inspires Moritz to always win with a unique class of gambling, like in the win towards his Bellagio event where he got the kind of attention he had never imagined and he was not criticized for his fierce gaming strategy against Smith either. Though he beat Smith, the latter still took home $594,755 earning second place while poker legend Phil Ivey settled for third place with a total winnings package of $ 363, 650. Thus it was actually Moritz’s second big title in poker – the PT Bellagio Cup that brought him name, fame and money.

Moritz’s style of poker though not old-school with its frequently aggressive and vocal responses to various opponent moves still contains a healthy element of courage and vitality that the game needs for showcasing different kinds of FulTilt poker talents in an international exposure of the game to win it a variety of players. Thus, his techniques and unique strategies that are well thought out and strongly decisive are what contribute to Moritz’s trademark fierceness in pro poker.
