Clement is a boy aged 27, from northern France, a computer in a company e-marketing in civilian life, the father of a little girl and especially the recent double-winner of the € 100,000 Guaranteed on Fulltiltpoker.fr . Online, his earnings have now reached the $ 300,000, more than half off the hook since last July and the opening of French poker rooms. Amazing performance which deserved a small interview, just to get acquainted with one of the most serious hopes of the new generation of players lights.
The beginnings of OhMyGuru

- PokerNews: Hello Clement, on what rooms do you play the most right now? What is your preferred format?
- Clement Beauvois: I play on all rooms, with the nickname OhMyGuru or one of its derivatives (OhMyGuruuu on Pokerstars for example). Lately, I’ve only played tournaments, and relatively few actually. But I play poker for 7 years now, and I appeal to almost all variations, if not the full ring. In the past, I have played in cash games ’6-Max ‘and’ Head’s-Up ‘, at the NL200 NL1000. Let’s say I was a regular of the NL200 and I tried frequently ‘shots’ above.

- PN: How did you get in poker and how did you learn?
- CB: In my first job, 7 years ago, a colleague (now friend) told us about Poker, telling us that this game was going to revolutionize the others. He explained the rules of No-Limit Hold’em, and we started to play every lunchtime, in the form of hyper turbo tournament to 1 €, with a kitty and a ranking. We had fun though, but it was great anything. I wanted to better understand this game, and I am on Everest.com. A few days later I made my first deposit, and it was gone. I’ve never read any book, the number of videos viewed standing on the fingers of one hand (even if I produce myself today!) And I have not frequented the forums Hand discussions (or so little). I’m more of a self-taught, and as in life, I taught myself. By playing a lot. In many errors, but with enough experience to realize it quickly. At the time, poker had not yet exploded and the level was clearly wrong.
“I have no idol in poker”

- PN: Which players discussed thou art? Which ones do you like most?
- CB: Well I play online a long time and that my background made ??me closer to all the French players winners. I sometimes discuss with them some hands but I’m not a fan of these brainstorming sessions. Again, I often preferred to work my game alone, and that is how I built it as and when the years. I have no idol in poker. Just a deep respect for players who had great admiration for and legends.
His opponents at Full Tilt

- PN: Do you know well, for example, Florient Leprovost Launais and Bruno, who gave you a lot of problems last Sunday, when your last victory in the € 100,000 Guaranteed on Full Tilt?.
- CB: Both players were already regulars on Everest at the time of. com. They are both present in my contact list, and we came to share. Before reaching the final table Sunday I actually had Bruno at my table earlier in the tournament, and we took the time to talk. He has a younger brother who started in poker, I recently played with him in St Amand Partouche Deepstack and Bruno wanted to know what I thought of his level of play

- PN: So what?
- CB: I found a little tender, which is normal early in live, but quick-witted. He seemed to quickly integrate what was happening around him. I have no doubt that it will grow quickly to become a feared player at the tables.
Clement Beauvois looking for a sponsor

- PN: Or is your search for sponsorship? You recently got an agent I believe?
- CB: Absolutely. I am now in Original Consulting. We are in regular contact, they are very attentive and actually work for their players. We are on several tracks, contacts are made, but as you know, there are many people in the same scenario for limited spaces. Nevertheless, I am relatively confident that a positive outcome very soon.

- PN: Your tournament schedule for the coming weeks?
- CB: My program of live event will partly depend on a possible sponsor. These tournaments have a variance such that it is difficult to self-finance for major events forever. It was soon overtaken by the pressure and the result is never good. Remains the qualifying satellites, which require time. And again, a collaboration with a sponsor would allow me to detach myself a bit of poker other extracurricular activities that take me much time today. I’m 27 and I try to look ahead over the long term. There is still some time, I chose to go full bankroll on the circuit without providing my back.

With regard to online tournaments, as I always for some time, I play when I want. And finally, I plan to take the game seriously regular cash game. As soon as I found my room comfortable.
Style OhMyGuru

- PN: Let’s talk about your playing style to the table: How would describe you?
- CB: My playing style is the kind DEGEN! Large aggressive rather busy, which restarts all the nuts and always showdown when he is call. Finally, sometimes I spew. I’m definitely from the new generation of players, trained at the school of the Internet.

- PR: Still a believer in overbet, then?
- CB: (Laughs) The overbet is copyright Basou (Editor’s note: Basil Yaiche)! More seriously, today we use it all. It is basically a weapon used against bad players. But increasingly, good players use them against each other. It can make an adverse decision more difficult. But also to maintain some pressure on the parties cross-GameCafé example. It is a move both used to force the opposing fold when it is polarized on an average hand, but also to develop a strong hand against a strong hand. Overbet for value!

- PN: Do you have needed to adapt your game to the French rooms?
- CB: I found the rooms in en extremely profitable in all disciplines other than the poker tournament. (Laughter). In fact, if you look at my results, I have very rarely managed to perfer face a wide heterogeneous field. Understand, higher at 400-500 players. That’s why I have such good results on Fulltilt.fr . The ‘regulars’ are identifiable, and it is even in the face for players fishy. This pre-selection level helps a lot in the building blows, and I have for example more difficult to do on tournament with a larger number of players, like PokerStars. Moreover, we are often attracted to the big prize pools of monsters in the industry of poker, then I think it is more profitable to go play fields more reasonable in terms of number, even a better general level. Maybe it specific to my game, not exportable to the other, I do not know .. Still, I still greatly needed to work my game against players that I feel “bad”, where I am mostly very comfortable with the very good players.

Among the notable players who have benefited greatly from this windfall fueled largely by record high tournaments Full Tilt Online Poker Series FTOPS XIX , Jason Koon and Scott Clements were each added to their line of prestigious awards over the internet.
