You have to wonder what was going through my mind the day I decided to make my screen name P0ker H0. After all, it's not the most politically correct handle in the world, nor even the most elegant. However, it has become one of the most well known, at least among fans of online poker, where the name P0ker H0 has become synonymous with a slash-and-burn tournament style that leaves hapless opponents broke and scratching their heads.
And while I have a reputation for being a wild man at the poker table, I believe that patience is the real key to poker success.
I received my poker experience naturally. As resident of Madison, Wisconsin, I've been playing poker for almost 20 years. There in a little joint called the Players Sports Bar. In fact, It was in that very joint, that I met Madison's other favorite poker son, Phil Hellmuth, and while Phil went on to, you know, other things, I decided that I liked my home-away-from-home game so much that I bought the bar we always played at and have owned it ever since. To this day if you've got the nerve, you can drop by and play internet poker, while the whole bar watches on a 52" plasma screen monitor and razzes your play, no doubt.
I regularly travel to the big events on the poker tournament calendar, such as the World Series of Poker® and the Aruba Ultimate Poker Classic, or any WPT event.
When not playing poker, I can be found bowling, playing softball or, especially, on golfing for money against players who are just as bad.
Livin the Dream
P0ker H0
