I look forward to giving back to the game and the poker community, as part of the Adda52 team. Adda52 provides a great opportunity for players of different skill levels and all buy-ins to make it to the finale. There are tonnes of opportunities in terms of monthly leaderboards and quarterly SNGs to qualify.
