Biography

Patrick Antonius is one of the top online poker players in the world. According to some reports, he is believed to be the owner of the biggest winnings in no-tracking roums. Today, poker is one of Antonius’ main occupations, as business has become his second.

The poker player is the founder of a company called First Land of Poker (FLOP) based in Monaco. Patrick’s previous residence was in Finland. But he had to leave the country to avoid losing his money due to lack of proper taxation on his winnings.

Today Patrik is in business, trying to expand his company on the world stage. You can also meet him at the poker table in the casino. The poker player also travels around the world, continues to play tennis (when he was a teenager he wanted to go pro) and plays golf.

First Land of Poker (FLOP)

The company is involved in organizing and running poker festivals. Anyone can take part in an event, including the enjoyment of the cash game. Currently, there are some difficulties in terms of promotion First Land of Poker. The current events are restricting many people’s access to the country.

The aim of the company is to help poker players find the game they are interested in. This is how poker is popularised. Patrick Antonius says that the promotion of poker is extremely weak at the moment. There is no mass effect, even though there are hundreds of millions of players in the world.

To take advantage of the company’s services, you need to download the appropriate app. It is free of charge. When you open it, you have to fill in your profile right away. In your account, you need to specify your preferences in terms of types of poker, limits, as well as your location/location.

As the number of players grows, the company intends to organize more themed events and provide easy access to all interested players. Patrick and his team are actively working on promoting the idea and improving the functionality.

He was inspired to start the company by the story of a poker fan who couldn’t get a live table together to enjoy the game. Despite having a decent reputation, people didn’t care and didn’t show up. Eventually, the guy got frustrated with the pointless visits to the casino and gave up playing.

An educational programme.
