Joe Sebok
To continue with the theme of writing about Team UB, my entry will mention Joe Sebok, a professional poker player that also supports a UB referral code. There’s a chance you might not know Sebok, but you should almost certainly recognize his stepfather, Barry Greenstein. Originally from San Francisco, Sebok started playing professionally around five years ago. He’s been encouraging the UB referral code since September 2009.
Tournament poker is Sebok’s bread and butter, and his cashes in live tournaments total almost $2 million. He has never won a World Series of Poker bracelet, but he’s cashed 15 times so far. Just last year he finished 56th in the Main Event, his highest finish so far in the annual tournament. Since tournaments are his main game, I’m curious to know whether or not he tries MTTs on a Full Tilt Poker download or uses a PokerStars bonus code every once in a while. If he does, I’m sure he’s not the only UB representative doing things like that!
The poker community is fairly familiar with Sebok for a variety of reasons. He co-founded PokerRoad.com with Greenstein, a media center that offers blogs, radio, and TV all related to poker. Gavin Smith, another professional player, helps him host the PokerRoad Radio. Perhaps you’ve seen the Internet show “Prop Bets” where Sebok and Smith can be seen competing with each other in different prop bets in activities like kick boxing and belly slapping. This show developed from a prop bet that caused Sebok, the loser, to wear three costumes to the 2006 WSOP Main Event, including a diaper-wearing bear, Spider-Man, and Wonder Woman. He definitely knows how to have fun, and it’s apparent that Sebok doesn’t need poker downloads and MTTs to pay the bills.
Sebok is only in his thirties, so we can expect a lot more out of him as the years continue to roll on. He’s only just started his poker career, and one would think that he will win a WSOP title in the near future. He played on internet sites when he first started playing poker, so if you strive to become a great player, you should do the same. It wouldn’t surprise me if Sebok told you to avoid other sites like a Bodog or Party Poker download bonus, though. He wants you to represent UB too!
