In this week’s Player Spotlight…vols23!
My player name is vols23.
I played college baseball for the University of Tennessee. I was also a walk-on for the football team and ran back punts and kick offs (not bright). I graduated with a degree in journalism and write children’s books. I have a gifted 14 year old daughter.
My father was a professional gambler and I was taught how to play Texas Hold’em at a very early age. I sat with my father for hours and was totally amazed by the amount of money grown men were willing to wager on one card. I was hooked!
My father said there is only one true style of poker and it’s Texas Hold’em. I can’t play in local games since my father’s reputation precedes even me, but that’s ok. After all, I have friends here at Hollywood Poker and Hollywood Poker has treated me well.
I will be in the WSOP – you can bank on it! As Matt Damon said in ‘Rounders’, “You can’t lose what you don’t put in the middle”.
I hope all you comrades at the table know nothing is ever personal with me at that table. Thirty years ago, my father taught me a great secret. He said “work with your head and not your back”.
Good luck!
