Vladimir Geshkenbeyn: The Poker Pro Who Loves to Travel and Play


Vladimir Geshkenbeyn's poker journey began in Switzerland, where he started playing with friends in $5 single-table tournaments. He moved to Malta to dedicate more time to poker, living with friends and enjoying the affordable lifestyle. Geshkenbeyn's professional poker career began with a successful trip to Macau in 2009.

Geshkenbeyn's aggressive and loose playing style is effective against tight Chinese players. He joined the PKR team after winning a significant tournament in Macau and impressing organizers. Geshkenbeyn creates a deliberate image of a wild, carefree Russian to gain an advantage in poker games.

I'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.
