Playing poker at PokerRewards can be the fastest track to turning a 'few' bucks into 'quite a lot'.. as 'The Doc' discovered.
Although he had been playing poker since he was a young lad, he didn't realize how much cash could be made until the boom of
the online experience when he started to utilize his skills on PokerRewards.
PokerRewards were among the first to introduce their money back loyalty program where you can earn cash rewards based on your
play. It is also a 24/7 'global gateway' to the best live poker action with players world-wide.
As a respected pro player, The Doc explains why he values his time at PokerRewards. "Online play allows me to quickly and
easily sit at any variety of games online. I get to see how many people, how many chips, the average pot etc etc, before
I even sit down. I can also play multiple tables at the same time. The dealing is substantially faster than live as well.
However, I do like live poker and at PokerRewards I get the opportunity to play for entry to the worlds top offline poker
tournaments."
Anyone can now pitch their wits against 'The Doc' on PokerRewards but how did he get started with Poker? "When I was a
medical intern, the first year of residency, I was at a private hospital with 11 other interns. I was doing very well in
live action games, and I was having difficulty keeping call and being able to go to Las Vegas. Then I discovered other
interns would take 24 hour call shifts of mine for $150-250. This was beyond worth it. I started paying a few of my
fellow residents to take my call for me. Then I would also have them cover a few of my day shifts in certain cases. For
example, the BAY 101 tournament in California. I had a resident take my call the day I flew out, but I would have to
return in two days."
"However, I kept winning. By day four, there were 30 or 40 of us. I had to pay him to cover my
shift that day so we could play down to the final six. Unfortunately, I busted out 13th. I flew back in the morning,
so I had to pay for a call and two work days to be covered. I got paid $40,000 for the event, and I paid out $400.
Not a bad ratio, 100:1. I did the same thing with the Mirage open and the Five Diamond that year."
"Making money online and making money in tournaments is a completely different ball game. After honing my skills online,
my first tourney was the $1000 buy-in weekly Bellagio Tournament on Friday. I took 5th place of about 120 or so. It was
huge for me to get to the final table in my first tourney. I loved it."
