Card Player 2009 Player of the Year
If you have the notion to play poker in online casinos for USA players but you cannot choose between a poker download and free poker no downloads, maybe you will be convinced to pick UB after meeting Eric Baldwin, another member of Team UB. The 27 year old poker player has had great success with tournament poker since he turned pro. He was born in Beaver Dam, WI, and he was a student at the University of Wisconsin and studied Psychology and Mathematics. He currently lives in Las Vegas.
Baldwin certainly frequents US friendly poker sites, but he became famous due to live poker where he has over $3 million in cashes. He won a bracelet and $522k back in WSOP 2009 in Event 34, a $1.5k buy-in. He did quite well in this year’s WSOP as well, although he did not win another bracelet. His largest cash was in the Main Event where he finished in 59th place for $138,285.
The tournament enthusiast must like US poker rooms as he has found success on the WPT as well. In 2009 he finished 3rd in a Legends of Poker event and later that year won an event in the Five Diamond World Poker Classic for $256k. Prior to that year in 2008 he placed first in Event 2 in the Five Star World Classic Poker Classic for $148,860. I wonder if Baldwin ever uses Bingo codes to get his mind off the pressure of playing tournaments?
Since he is a UB spokesman, Baldwin spends the rest of his working hours on download free poker sites. According to Baldwin, the main difference between online and live games is that online games are much more aggressive preflop. He will attempt to win pots without showdown online in contrast to live where he is happy to see multi-way flops.
Card Player named Baldwin the 2009 “Player of the Year”, so this UB spokesman definitely knows what he’s talking about. If you’re looking to get into real money poker, you should weigh your options carefully. A Bwin Poker download can’t be a bad option, but go through my old articles to see what UB can offer you as well.
