Two Schools
The elegantly dressed Team PokerStars Player Marcel Luske can genuinely lay claim to being one of the few real old school players in the field. Charming and ruthless his poker skills are undeniable but he looked on in bemusement as down the other end of the table Lauri Varonen got into a pre flop war with the player to his left Rens Feenstra, a PokerStar player from the Netherlands. Varonen had raised from the cut off to 900 and Feenstra from the button made it 2,500. The blinds folded and now Varonen raised once more to 5,500. Feenstra sent a message, one worth 8,200 chips. Varonen got the it and folded.
The next hand Florian Kossler raised from mid position to 900 and when the young whippersnappers Varonen and Feenstra folded, Luske decided to take a flop from the small blind. The big blind folded and they saw a flop of . Lucke, first to act, checked. Kossler continued for 1,400 and Luske called. The turn was checked by both players inviting Luske to lead on the river for a bet of 4,000. Kosler folded.
