College Student Collects Over $100k in Three Months Playing Online
Poker at CelebPoker.com 14th Jan 2006
University of Massachusetts student Bryan W. has collected
winnings of over $105,000 online playing poker. After being referred
by a friend to
CelebPoker.com the university hustler has consistently come up
aces online and continues to cash out monthly.
There is not much happening besides class, parties and part time
jobs for college students in Massachusetts. As the second semester
is coming to a start and the New Year’s Eve has passed the students
on UMASS campus have all returned and poised for another round of
classes. While this is a wonderful time in life, and preparations
are being made for bright futures and lucrative job offers one
student is a little ahead of the game. Actually most would say he’s
about $100k dollars ahead at this point.
Bryan is a typical college sophomore who enjoys playing cards. He
spends part of his day listening to business professor’s lecture on
making money in the real world, while afterwards going back to his
dorm and cashing in more than the professors themselves in just a
few short months. It’s a wild story and an amazing trend among many
college poker hopefuls today, and the trend is growing.
"The popularity of poker is absolutely phenomenal," says Elizabeth
George, chief executive of the North American Training Institute,
which specializes in dealing with problems of youth gambling. "It is
head and shoulders over other types of college gambling." While many
have fallen short of glory, Brian continues to win and win big. His
success stems from consistent play and a strategy that has landed
him atop many of the high stakes, no-limit poker tournaments on
CelebPoker.com
Brain discussed how he was intrigued by the
CelebPoker slogan of “40-60 Percent of Players to the Flop.” To
the poker world this means there are plenty of fish (new players) in
the sea. Much like Brian many solid strategy poker players are
converting over to CelebPoker.com in search of the loose play and
international styles. Brian says he enjoys the Short-Handed (5-10)
player tournaments online because the games are quick and there is a
large money pool available to only 5-10 players. He feels, and most
would agree, that in a typical game of a few people he has developed
a strategy that is paying the bills and then some.
College students and poker have become synonymous with each other.
On CelebPoker.com they have been know to estimate nearly half of the
players participating in large online events to be between the ages
of 18-24. While this is the new “entertainment trend” there is also
a lot of real money to be wagered and won. What Brian, as well as
numerous other students, has done is develop a sound strategy, play
with it no matter how the game changes and hopefully fend off the
“bad beats” with consistency.
To be noted,
CelebPoker.com is known for having celebrities playing on their
site frequently. This is much more than a gimmick to serious poker
players like Brian as they feel it creates an environment conducive
to casual poker play and allows skilled players the ability to
maximize their talents in reading the situation. Brian is quoted as
saying “the 40-60 percent players to see the flop probably does
help.” Whatever the case may be he continues to play after class
regularly while fellow students head to jobs making a fraction of
his winnings. Keeping things in perspective and handling the success
is something Brian is ahead of the game at. “I am still new to
poker, but I love playing and look forward to hopefully keep getting
better and improving. Besides poker I like to hang out with my
friends, family and play golf and basketball.”
Certainly the poker game will improve, as well as the success this
soon to be University of Massachusetts Alumni will take with him
away from the tables.
