Pokerstars sponsored story?
who knows?

Joe · Jun 27, 2016

Thank you Pokerstars for this invigorating account of rags to riches inspiring us never to give up even when down to our last few cents!!

I'm joking of course, a great story, and have a similar one of my own whilst stranded in New Zealand walking into Sky Tower casino dangerously in the red and leaving ecstatically in the black thanks to a miraculous fluke on roulette and the well-wishes of a lady luck-esque female bartender...

You are obviously a very modest person and sell yourself short when it comes to your performance and skill in the Sunday millions tournament you speak of.

Well-deserved congratulations to you and thank you for sharing your fascinating experience.

This is why I don't play tournaments, because to come to the final table it's just lucky.
Interesting to read the story, thanks.

What on earth are you talking about!? There is no less skill involved in making a tournament final table than there is winning a cash game table.

Bluff???

There must have been one or two bold ones along the way...

This was my first thought too, it's an ideal advertisement for going all in with your back against the wall!

Even if it was fictional, a good read, I believe stranger things have happened...

A thumbs up to you if this is true. Grats!

Not less skill, no. But there is more luck involved.

In a cash game, if a fish stacks you by hitting his runner-runner inside-straight, you can rebuy and take it back a few hands later.
In a tournament, you're out.

What an awesome turn around.
Thanks for taking the time to share it with us.

chako_pro · Jun 30, 2016

really awesome story man ... the struggle was real, but good to see how you never gave up. tbh all the mistakes you made then, were lessons well learned for what i can see. Great show of reciliance, any other person would've just gave up not just on poker but on life..

JayBonez · Jun 30, 2016

In life just like in poker sometimes we must look to the higher power. Congrats on your win.

MMarshall89 · Jun 30, 2016

Crazy good story of rag to riches, makes you wonder if you hadn't played and lost that 2000$ if you would of ever played in that Sunday million?
I'd be interested to know what you did after that? Did you keep playing poker?
That story sounded like a movie plot...very interesting and very inspiring story thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the inspiration and motivation and hope that you gave me as a low-mid stake player that on any given day I can run like god and make up for it all!

wow..story for movie
very touching story, Iount
I'm sorry about the difficult period through which you passed, but the fact that you still managed to emerge from this difficult period, means that you earned.
I'm happy for the happy end of the story, because when I read the story I did not feel at all pleasant

I hope you learned some lessons from all this, and I hope you will let the next story to be whole and happy in beautiful shades

donkcentralFF · Jul 13, 2016

Great read.. Thanks for the post.

jaymfc · Jul 13, 2016

very interesting story and I'm happy you have a family now
but did you ever go home and tell mom she was right ,
I was a piece of shit but I learned from some hard times ?
if you were doing half the crap at home that you did at friends
would mom have thought the same ? did you ever grow up enough
to understand her side ? I could not ever throw one of my kids out
even if they were a piece of shit but this wasn't a happy ending for me
without knowing what happened at home.

ps.... and since it's been 3 weeks and this is still your only post,
I am thinking more like those saying PokerStars advertisement .
