Pouvez-vous me parler un peu de vous ?<\/b><\/h2>\n

I\u2019m 25 from Sydney, Australia. I’ve been a full time poker player for around the last 5 years. I started from a very young age. I first got into poker when I was 15, I seen a TV show called “Poker en fin de soir\u00e9e<\/a>“, I think it was one of the first televised poker shows from the UK. I thought it was amazing, so much fun that these high rollers were playing cards and travelling the world. It was weird when I was young I never worked to work a 9-5 job to me it seemed stupid. I used to read books on real estate and stock markets etc. But after watching this TV series I knew what I wanted to do, play poker!<\/p>\n

J'avais l'habitude de grinder les tables de jetons sur ultimate bet et de lire tous les livres de poker qui me tombaient sous la main. \u00c0 18 ans, la premi\u00e8re chose que j'ai faite a \u00e9t\u00e9 d'obtenir une carte de d\u00e9bit pour pouvoir d\u00e9poser de l'argent.<\/p>\n

Grind : signifie jouer au poker en ligne.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I used to play limit holdem, well started out doing this because I read Phil Hellmuths book “Play poker like the pros”. I remember depositing $200 as that was the minimum buy in for $5-10 no limit. I ran it up to like $2000 and thought this was easy. I withdraw and left $200 to play thinking I could just run it up again. Obviously I ended up putting it back on and losing it over time as most do when they start. Anyways I went threw a cycle of wining a micro tournament then losing it at cash games etc.<\/p>\n

About 2 years later I made the 2nd day of a pub special tournament with $5000 up top. The only problem was i was rostered on for work… So I did the obvious thing and went in on that day before going to the tournament and told them I quit. #YOLO. I ended up coming 2nd for around $2500 and this is where my poker career started.<\/p>\n

I discovered a few poker forums and started grinding micro stakes and taking everything seriously. I don\u2019t know what it was that made me a wining player but just something clicked and I\u2019m still here today.<\/p>\n

Depuis combien de temps jouez-vous au poker en Tha\u00eflande ?<\/b><\/h2>\n

En 2013, j'ai pass\u00e9 cinq mois en Tha\u00eflande. Je n'avais jamais v\u00e9cu \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger auparavant et je n'\u00e9tais jamais all\u00e9 en Tha\u00eflande. J'\u00e9tais un peu effray\u00e9 et inquiet avant de partir, mais j'avais suivi quelques discussions sur la Tha\u00eflande sur diff\u00e9rents sites de poker et j'avais lu les histoires incroyables et les discussions qui s'y d\u00e9roulaient et j'ai compris que c'\u00e9tait le style de vie que je voulais. J'ai donc pris mes jambes \u00e0 mon cou et j'ai r\u00e9serv\u00e9 mes billets d'avion pour partir en janvier \u00e0 Phuket, en Tha\u00eflande. Mon tour d'\u00eatre un joueur de poker en Tha\u00eflande !!!!<\/p>\n

I got in contact with a few poker players in Thailand, who I met up with when I arrived and then after I met a few more people you meet there friends and so on. It\u2019s really awesome how people are so open and feels like you’ve know them for a long time.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
