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.
(PRWEB) January 14, 2006 -- 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 poker. 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.
