I’ve been playing poker for more than 5 years now, and I have reached heights in this short career that I could have only dreamed of 5 years ago. I’ve won in countless tournaments, from P100 home games to $10,000 events. I’ve won major tournaments with international fields of the best of the best that the world has to offer. My tournament cashes alone, which is right now more or less almost $500,000, is a staggering number that most people can only dream about ever even earning in their whole lives.
