Alexandros Theologis

Alexandros Theologis, often known online as "Pwndidi," began his poker career in 2014 on PokerStars, grinding his way up from microstakes to high-stakes games. By mid-2018, he had entered the upper echelons of online poker, competing consistently against the world's best. Originally from Thessaloniki, Greece, he quickly established himself as one of the country's top players, eventually ranking 3rd on the Greece all-time money list with live earnings over $4 million.

Theologis has achieved remarkable results in live tournaments across the globe. His most notable live victory came at the €100,000 EPT High Roller, where he won over $900,000.

Theologis is known for a tight-aggressive style with a strong focus on positional play and range analysis. He excels in deep-stack confrontations and adapts his strategies based on opponents.

He has collaborated with coaching communities such as BitB, Pocarr, BBZ, and CNC, offering both one-on-one and group sessions. His coaching philosophy emphasizes practical, theory-based guidance to help players fast-track their development.

Residing in Thessaloniki, Greece, Theologis keeps a relatively low profile despite his success. He initially competed under anonymous screen names, and his identity was a mystery for some time before being revealed. He dedicates time to coaching during quieter periods between major festivals. With career earnings well over $30 million, multiple titles, and a reputation as one of Greece's finest poker talents, Alexandros Theologis continues to be a force in both the online and live poker arenas.
