Hand History
One hand at the middle of the final table sees an example of a hand in which Arends (holding vs. ) plays aggressively preflop calling a raise (UTG) (2x) in the big blind and then keeping his aggressive approach during the hand.
The hand unfolds with a flop bet from his opponent and subsequently a check-raise 3 times the opponent's bet from Arends - as Arends, although holding one of the weakest starting hands, plays it out in a way that he could have had .[17]
Style
Arends makes the game seem easy as he is accomplished in making custom-made poker functions - and poker matrixes - to simplify (advanced) strategy.[citation needed]
