It’s Not Just Professionals Who Can Play Online Poker

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

To win at poker, you don’t have to own a degree as was recently proved by a young lad called Joe Cada. At the age of 21 and a university drop out, many would have said that Joe had a long way to go before earning his first million dollars! However, he has happily proved that it isn’t always necessary to spend 4 years studying at university to win at poker. He is the youngest ever player in the history of the tournament to win. The World Series of Poker reached its climax with him winning with a pre-flop. Unbelievably it was Cada’s first time at the tournament and it is certainly a game that he will never forget. When discussing his final hand play he said “I was kind of too scared to look so I just had my back turned, hoping it would work out for the best.”

Joe has played poker with his friends since he was a young lad and he has been wishing the years away so that when he was finally 21 he would be able to compete. Due to the fact that the championship was held in the USA, the age restriction put upon the tournament was 21. The tournament had him playing against 6500 people and it was quite normal for the players to have to sit down and play sessions of upto 12 hours in one go. The entire tournament lasted ten days.

Joe certainly had quite a journey during his ten days of competing. His game was so over the place that even though he had more chips than any other competitor at the beginning of the tournament, by the 8th day he was running so low that he was really worried he may be knocked out. He managed to battle his way back however. It seems that cards run in the family, as Cada’s mother is a blackjack dealer in Detroit. As a casino dealer, she was concerned that her son may be heading down a difficult path having seen the ups and downs that poker players go through, but she stood by him all through the tournament and was there to celebrate with him as he took the title.

If you would like to sign up for some brilliant Rakeback Deals, or infact to have a go at Party Poker Rakeback and PKR Poker Rakeback, then why not plough ahead, after all you’ve got absolutely nothing to lose.
