Background: I started off playing with my mates for fun. Then after about 2 games I was in love with the game. After that I started to play online but was a harsh learning curve to me as the first year was all downhill but the lesion I need then started to watch videos, read books etc. Then as they say “the rest is history”, and I’m happy with where I am today, as a professional player for Prostaker.

Best Poker experience? Winning the 100k€ guarantee, 50rebuy at Ladbrokes.

What is your ambitions with poker? To be playing the big live tournaments very soon.

What do you think is most important to keep up with pokers development? The game is always changing, so you need to work hard and be dedicated to be at the top.

Who's your role model in poker and in life? My grandpa.If I turn out half the man he was, I would be very happy!

Describe the upside and downsides of being a poker player: The upside is being able to work with something you love, and the downside; it can be a very lonely place and stressful when you’re running bad.

What characteristics do you want your coach to have? As long as he/she is a sound person and can improve my game to the highest level possible I will be a very happy boy.

How do you think the poker scene will look like in 2020 and what will you do then? I think it will be in a place where nothing else can touch poker, it will be massive and I hopefully will be up there.

What would you do if you won a 1 million $? Buy my Nan and mam a house and still grind away.
