Player Spotlight: Senatorwu1
Congratulations to Senatorwu1, our featured player in this week's Hollywood Poker Spotlight! For writing this fantastic article, Senatorwu1 has won himself a ticket to one of our exclusive Hollywood Poker tournaments :waytogo:
Read Senatorwu1s reflections in his own words...
Like many other people, I was drawn to poker through the increase in televised tournaments. I started playing a couple years ago and after a couple months, I got comfortable with playing for money.
I found out about HP through James on Leno and Bluff magazine. Being a Mac user I was glad to see another option and have been playing here near daily since January.
For me, the best way to keep a bankroll going for me was to finish college with an AAS degree in HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) and now I am an apprentice in the local plumbing union.
My favorite HP tale happened after about a month of playing here.
I believe I’ve played in every Michael Woods Invitational tournament since I joined and after the first couple, I was frustrated with the lack of celebrities at my tables. Finally, an hour or two into my third try, I crawled my way back from a very short stack. I found myself at a table with Mike Woods, James Woods and Pakrat1969 (your recent spotlight player who happened to be the guest bounty that night).
This was exciting for me for so many reasons: celebrities, bounties and we were nearing the final table. I was able to thank James for one of his movies I enjoyed and Mike for hosting the tournament - also telling him I was about to complain about never seeing bounties!
I proceeded to collect bounties on James, Mike and at the final table, Pakrat1969. I finished in second that night and could hardly sleep. The only problem now is trying to top that every Thursday.
I've met some great people and players here and enjoy my time; it makes the bad beats easier. Thanks everybody!
