With the 2009 World Series of Poker only a few days away, it’s time to take a look at some of CarbonPoker’s finest that are going to be repping the Black and Grey in Vegas.

Froliche, a Carbon regular, is going to be in the $1K No Limit Hold’em event on Saturday, May 30. This is a four-day event that brings out some of the best minds in poker. Froliche punched his ticket in one of the satellite tourneys at Carbon recently.

As a 22 year old, froliche splits his time between playing poker online and occasionally going to college. I think we all know what he’s better at.

I got the chance to sit down and chat with the man and here are some of the words of wisdom that helped earn him the WSOP seat:

On tips/strategy:

“play loose and use reads off your opponents to make key bluffs. [you have] gotta play loose aggressive so that you’re not so dependent on your cards. That’s something I only learned recently and it’s improved my game a lot.”

On comfort during long online poker sessions at Carbon:

“You should always talcum powder your n*ts to keep them from getting uncomfortable while you play”

Sage words from a great player. Follow froliche’s progress at the CarbonPoker Blog and feel free to cheer him on in the comments and use his Talcum powder advice.

Top ten signs you are getting 200% of your daily value of poker. (Once you pop you can’t stop!)

1.You got ****ed off at the Mcdonald’s guy for DONKING your order when they forgot your fries! (Some would call this a suckout… idk.. I mean you had probably a better than 80% chance of getting your fries… BS)

2.The last time you prepared baked goods you asked “Do I need to preflop the oven?” and you were dead serious.

3.You plan all your days around which tournies you will be playing.(sorry honey I got a valentines day tourny I guess you’re flyin solo)

4.You complain about getting rivered when the guy in front of you takes the last custard filled Long john at the petrol market.(b4stard..)

5.You could list off at least 5 Customer Support reps from merge off the top of your head.(Jared,Gary,Rick,Ethan,Pauline,Spongebob)

6.You actually finished the Christmas promotion at Carbon without dying of dysentery.

7.You purchased a bigger monitor to make multitabling easier.(Lamest one so far I know but I’m guessing you’ve stopped reading)

8.You’re house is littered with various mugs, rubber bracelets, polos and decks of cards from various poker stores.

9.You rattle off that it would be +EV to go to Walmart instead of the fancy store.(One does not simply walk into Walmart… there is evil there that does not sleep….)

10.You have wet dreams about hitting the Bad beat Jackpot at Carbon!(With bbj tables starting as low as $1/$2 LH who could afford NOT to play!?)
