Biography & Poker Background

Born in Avilés, Spain, and currently residing in London, Aido burst onto the live poker scene in March 2013 by winning the £770 PokerStars UKIPT London Main Event. Before his live breakout, he built a formidable reputation in the online poker world under the legendary handle “petgaming,” where he was known as one of the toughest grinders in the industry. Over the last decade, Aido has transitioned from a mid-stakes European specialist to a “lobby boss” of the world’s most expensive tournaments. Known for his technical approach and calm demeanor, he is often associated with the elite wave of Spanish players, including Adrian Mateos, who have collectively dominated the modern high-stakes era.

Aido is renowned for a “disciplined, analytical, and highly technical” play style. A master of No-Limit Hold’em, his strategy is rooted in a deep understanding of GTO (Game Theory Optimal) foundations, which he pairs with elite observational skills to identify exploitative opportunities. He is widely praised for his emotional resilience, often navigating the high-variance swings of the Super High Roller circuit without a dip in technical precision. Whether competing in a large-field WSOP event or a “nosebleed” Triton invitational, Aido’s ability to remain patient and strike with mathematical accuracy makes him one of the most difficult and enduring opponents in the modern game.
