Massive Profit at the Micros

I immediately told everyone I knew that I was going to become a “rounder” (a professional poker player). Most
people laughed. A few members of my family were actually horrified and told me that I was throwing my life
away!

But it was already a done deal in my mind. I was going to play this game professionally. So their comments had
little effect on me. If anything, they just fired me up to succeed even more!

And so by early 2005 I was working my way up the micro stakes games online. I started at the very bottom,
1cent/2cent blinds. I gotta be honest, I had absolutely no clue what I was doing back then. I was a total fish.

My only real strategy in fact was to “play tight.” However,
through relentless trial and error I eventually started
improving. Obsession is a powerful thing!

In April of 2007 I made the decision to turn professional
because in just a few hours each night playing online
poker I was making twice or more what I made all day at
my crappy desk job.

Fast forward to today and I now live what some might call

“the dream” working from various exotic locations around
the world and spending most of the year based in beautiful
Thailand.

Poker has given me what I consider to be the greatest
Me recently in Phuket, Thailand
freedom there is: to live my life on my own terms.

But what I am also proud of is the fact that I have been able to help thousands of other people now through
private coaching and writing three of the most popular poker books ever published on these stakes.
