Aleksey Makarov Tops March HSDB Rating Amid High-Stakes Poker Drama
Aleksey Makarov topped the March HSDB rating, solidifying his position as a top high-stakes poker player. Meanwhile, Daniel Negreanu is gearing up for an intense SuperStar Showdown against Viktor Blom, also known as Izildur1.
Negreanu shared his preparation strategy in a short interview with Card Player TV. He revealed that he started playing $100/200 on PokerStars and, despite initial struggles, improved his skills significantly. He also mentioned observing Izildur1's matches in the SuperStar Showdown, which inspired him to train and improve his multi-table capabilities.
In other high-stakes poker news, XWINK, the successor of Izildur1 on Full Tilt, faced significant losses in March 2011. XWINK lost $833,906 over two days against Jungleman12, highlighting the volatile nature of high-stakes poker. Despite these setbacks, XWINK continued to play, showcasing the resilience and determination of top poker players.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
