Over my career I have accumulated over $1 million in winnings between cash games and tournaments thanks to very solid game selection. My biggest win (so far) came in 2016 when I chopped the Niagara Fallsview Poker Classic $1k event with the chip lead 3 handed for $162,000. In addition to playing I have a great passion for teaching the game.
I have been making training videos on my YouTube channel 'gripsed' since 2008. I wrote the 1st chapter of Excelling at No Limit Hold'em, and am currently working on my first full length book on how to win at cash game poker! It's a real honor to be part of the CardsChat community, and I look forward to helping out as many poker players as I can. Let's Get Stackin’!
I took time off from poker after 2008; settled down, got married, had 3 kids, changed jobs. But I picked poker back up in 2015 when PokerStars sent me an e-mail with 5 free tickets to play their Spin n Go's. Found the CardsChat freeroll at that time and decided to join the forum. Met a few good people right off the bat playing in the CardsChat World Cup and was introduced to the League in Winter 2017 and was all-in on the site ever since!
Chris is also on our Social Team – creating engaging content and interacting with our fans on Facebook and Twitter.
It was there he got interested in poker when a friend showed him how to play. Vladimir had always played cards, but never poker up until then. He would always play Hearts with his grandfather and marvel at his ability to know every single card played in the game. Vladimir came to CardsChat not having any strategy in his poker, but since then has learned: poker is a very complex game! He enjoys interacting and arguing strategy with players from all over the world. He’s proud to be a part of the CardsChat community, and we are proud to have him on our team! He is not only a Forum Guide, but a Language Mentor for our members speaking Russian, Ukrainian, and Polish.
From small home games to Facebook Poker, PokerStars, FullTilt and live rooms, poker playing led to a fascination with poker chips and the pursuit of amassing sets of casino-used chips. Black Friday cooled his enthusiasm for online poker, and the thousands of dollars’ worth of poker chips were seldom being used. When he found CardsChat, Tim was able to regain an interest in online real money poker. There were new rooms to discover and a new community to play with. He could learn and have fun, making some money without financial risk.
Bee has been a staple in CardsChat League and is also one of our Language Mentors in addition to being a Forum Guide.
Milen learned to play 5 Card Draw when he was in 5th grade. Other game variants at the time were a mystery to him, but eventually, Milen also learned stud games and of course Texas Hold’em. He did quite well for himself during the first part of the century, even winning $50,000 in a big tournament. He used $10,000 of that to buy-in to the WSOP. Milen busted on Day 2 and learned that it is not so easy to be a poker pro!
In the Spring of 2016 Milen saw some CardsChat freerolls in the lobbies of PokerStars and Americas Cardroom and decided to check it out. He loves the forum because it’s not just about poker, but everything under the sun. He made an account, started posting, and never looked back! Now Milen is a Loyaler, Guide, Language Mentor, and part of the League team. He enjoys helping newcomers to the forum because he remembers what it was like to be new.
I've experienced some success on the tour, with a 5th place finish at the April 2015 Potawatomi MSPT $1k Main Event for $33,795, another 5th place finish at the August 2018 Potomac Poker Open Main Event for $41,250, and numerous other cashes in the MSPT, WSOP, and more. I play other variants for fun and to improve my overall poker chops, including PLO, PLO8, Stud, Stud8, Razz, HORSE, and Badugi. For me, poker is an engaging hobby, a part-time job, a social game, and a long-time passion.
John is a husband and father of two children. He's the owner and founder of Ace Poker Solutions which creates poker tools such as DriveHUD, Poker Leak Buster, Ignition Card Catcher, and training tools such as Ace Poker Drills. "I was swept up in the "Moneymaker Effect” after amateur Chris Moneymaker won the WSOP Main Event in 2003. I was working in corporate America at the time (making a comfortable six-figure salary), but not satisfied with the career path in front of me. I'm not entirely sure how poker found me, but I began playing limit poker, and like anything I do in life, I studied everything I could get my hands on about the game and ate it up. I made one $50 deposit on Pacific Poker back in 2004, and I've never busted or looked back since. Since then I've won several hundred thousand dollars in cash games and some nice tournament scores as well. I haven't played a ton of tournament poker over my career simply because of time commitments, but I do have WSOP cashes, and have won other local and online tournaments. Most of my study and time has gone into no-limit Texas Holdem 6-max, full ring, and heads-up cash games. I've played and had some decent success at pot-limit Omaha and Razz as well, but don't enjoy those games nearly as much."
John can be found frequenting the forums on CardsChat so feel free to hit him up for advice and poker strategy!
