Who is Chiren80 / Athene? Online poker player wants to play 1
million hands in DecemberWho is Chiren80?
For
some time an ex-World of Warcraft (WOW) player has been the cause of
lots of excitement in the online poker world. It all began shortly
before the beginning of the WCOOP, when the Belgish student posted
videos on Youtube telling the wolrd how he was going to win the
Pokerstars WCOOP Main Event. As you probably know, he didn't go on to
win the WCOOP Event and therefore- while the camera was still running,
was also slapped
by his mother.
Shortly afterwards he announced, that he is going for theWorld
Record in Onlinepoker
and is going to play 1 million hands of poker in the month of
December.
Chiren80
is his screen name at Pokerstars. You can see him on Youtube and in WOW
as Athene. The 29 year old became world famous by playing the online
role-playing game, World of Warcraft and through his Youtube videos. In
WOW he was a master at speed levelling (Character Level 1 to 70 in 1
day
and 2 hours) as well as reaching world wide the first Level 80
Character. His Youtube channel had over 125 million views within six
months and is in the TopTen of the most subscribed Youtube
channels.
Other
characters in Athenes videos are his girlfriend,
who he refers to as My
Bitch, his mother, with whom he still lives and last but not least his
shirtless sidekick, Furious.
Nobody other than Tanja
Dereaux is the person behind Anthene's
girlfriend, My Bitch. Tanja or Tania as she called on the
Internet, was part of the advertising campaign for the Belgish Election
party, NEE, and promised 400,000 blowjobs.
Recently Tania has tried to take advantage of her popularity and has
started giving Video Dating Tips.
Chiren80 has been extremely successful in poker. In the beginning
of the year, he started with $110,000 on his Pokerstars account.
However most of it is not from winnings, but rather from bonus
payments. He is a classical rakeback grinder. Chiren80 plays 8 - 16
hours a day simultaneously on 24 tables. Mostly FullRing N100. So
indeed he is a winning player, but with a winrate of 0.32BB/100 hands
not a good one. The small winnings of approx. $16,000 he made is
compensated by the 2.5 million hands that he played in this time.
On
the other hand, Chirens tournament history does not look very good.
However, as he has taken part in only 7 tournaments, this graph is not
very significant.
In today's Daily Rewind bwin.party report on their latest developments, Daniel Negreanu tells it like it is, the WSOP blind us with bling and the Micros perform a sketch.
The latest site to join in the fast-moving ring game craze is Ladbrokes Poker, with the new Blaze Poker game allowing you reach 300 hands per hour in an exciting new poker experience.
