TexasLimitKing – No Longer a Mystery

The identity of TexasLimitKing, who disappeared from Full Tilt Poker in December 2006 after beating top poker pros such as Phil Ivey, David Denyamine, and Dustin “neverwin” Woolf in $1,000/$2,000 Limit Hold’em games, is no longer a mystery.

TexasLimitKing is undeniably Alexandros Dalaklis. Currently, he represents Asteria Poker and interested poker enthusiasts can view his profile, photographs, blog, and video clips there.

How TexasLimitKing Became a Poker Pro

Alex, a Greek who was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1986 has a younger sister and two older brothers. He grew up playing chess and cards. When he was in middle school, he even won a chess tournament. However, he quit chess because he felt that the game is “too slow.” During his second year in High School, the family visited England, where he saw the World Poker Tour on TV. This inspired him to play poker and he joined Pacific Poker simply because the poker site offered a welcome no-deposit bonus of $20.

Alex became well-known in the world of poker when he played high-stake Texas Limit Poker games against Full Tilt Poker’s best poker pros. He raked in loads of dollars, kept millions in his Full Tilt Poker account, and hardly spoke a word. Barry Greenstein, in an episode of “High Stakes Poker,” mentioned that TexasLimitKing was a tough opponent and probably Full Tilt Poker’s best Texas Hold’em player.

Why Alex Quit Full Tilt Poker

When Alex disappeared from Full Tilt Poker, rumors flew around like crazy, such as he was a cheater and a superuser; however, Alex has made it quite clear in his blog that he quit Full Tilt Poker because “there wasn’t anymore resistance left.” People knew that he was a dynamic player and avoided him. Life just got boring at Full Tilt Poker and so he quit.

Alex’s Plans for the Future

Alex has a number of interests such as investment, music, traveling, sports, human behavior, and so on. He wants to spend more time at his house in Greece and start a luxury hotel with his brothers. Poker enthusiasts will be excited to know that he intends to play live poker tournaments for Asteria Poker.

TexasLimitKing Myth’s

Many people believe that TexasLimitKing is “Gigabet” but TLK said himself that he was not Gigabet. There is also a rumor going around that TLK is Darrell Dickins but this is also false, Gigabet is Darrell Dickins. Some people also believe his last name is “Nicola” but through our research we believe it is “Dalaklis”.
