Hello everyone. I am a last minute pick to be on the team and I am utterly excited to play in this tournament.
It would be a great birthday present to be able to play in this event. I turned 21 on the 6th
Anyway a little about me...My name is Mordecai, I go by Mordy. I have been playing NLHE for about 3 years.I live in Bakersfield, Ca. I decided to play online poker the day of black friday (my luck) because I had so much free time as I was recovering from an eye surgery. I figured to just start playing with play money in 2011. I started playing on Zynga poker and would play long countless hours on there. I moved to Santa Maria, Ca the same year and started to play live tournament style poker. I would play in garages and in backyards every Friday/Saturday/Holidays in the drinking and smoking environment. I would play with thugs, regular working people, and family. I would beat them all! I was told by my Uncle that I have a unique spark in me that he has only seen in one of his son's that's a really good player. It's an honor to be able to hear those words out of his mouth because Poker has really strong roots in his side of the family. I used those experiences and took it with me at a local casino (Jay Farber main event runner up would play here). I had evolved!... I was beating old timers left to right. Of course you have your couple bad beats here and there but I was a wrecking machine! I became a regular at the casino and used it as my main source of income. I would win somewhere between 100-500 a day. I only recall a couple days where I was down a couple hundred dollars, but my win ratio way outnumbered the loss ratio. I even recall one situation where a regular old timer didn't even want to sit at the same table as me. I guessed he feared me because I would always pick on him. Since then I moved out of Santa Maria in 2013 and have been utilizing my poker skills on Carbon poker. I have improved my game now that I play online. However, I still need to work on my bankroll management online. That's why I chose to seek help and I found CardsChat.
Moral of the story is, I struck GOLD finding this site. I can't express my gratitude for the opportunity you guys give to regular dreamers like me to be able to play in a tournament.
I am an underdog in this tournament and I'm anxious to play and represent the best cards site forum in the world.
I hope to meet all of you in Vegas next week!
that $500 last player bet is mine >
