Deltoid88 Revealed: The $865K ACR Venom Winner Speaks
Stefan Rados breaks his anonymity to share strategy insights behind his record ACR Poker Venom score.
Stefan Rados — known online as "Deltoid88" — stepped out of anonymity this week to discuss how he won $865,000 in ACR Poker's Venom tournament, as reported by Poker.org.
Why It Matters
High-stakes online poker produces life-changing scores regularly, yet most winners remain pseudonymous. Rados's willingness to speak publicly gives recreational and serious players alike a rare window into the decision-making of an elite online crusher. His commentary on the ACR Mystery Bounty format is particularly relevant: Mystery Bounty overlays can create significant expected-value swings that casual players rarely account for. Understanding how a winning player approaches those spots has direct strategic value.
Context
ACR Poker's Venom is one of the largest guaranteed online poker tournaments in North America, routinely attracting five-figure fields. As of September 2026, Mystery Bounty formats — where bounty amounts are revealed only upon elimination — have become a dominant tournament structure on US-facing poker sites, rewarding both chip accumulation and bounty-hunting aggression. Rados competed and won under the screen name "Deltoid88," a handle familiar to high-volume online grinders but largely unknown to the broader public before this feature.
What's Next
Rados's profile, now public via Poker.org, positions him as a potential content creator or coach within the online poker community. Whether he targets another Venom-series event or pivots to live tournament play remains to be seen.
Gambling involves risk. Tournament poker results are not typical and past performance does not predict future outcomes.
