Card Player 2009 Player of the Year

Tags:  

If you would like 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. Despite being only 27 years old, Baldwin has a tournament resume that most players could only dream of having. He was born in Beaver Dam, WI, and he went to the University of Wisconsin and studied Psychology and Mathematics. Right now he currently resides in Vegas.

Baldwin can be found on US friendly poker sites, but he became famous due to live poker where he has over $3 million in cashes. He has one bracelet on his list of wins, earning over $500k in Event 34, a $1,500 NL Hold’em event. In WSOP 2010 he cashed in four events but he didn’t make any final tables. He had his best cash in the Main Event where he placed 59th and received $138k in return.

This young tournament star enjoys US poker rooms and can also be found playing the big WPT events. He had a great year last year, first finishing 3rd in a Legends of Poker event in August and then winning a Five Diamond World Poker Classic event near the end of the year. The previous year in 2008 he placed first in Event 2 in the Five Star World Classic Poker Classic, winning a healthy $149k. I wonder if Baldwin ever makes time for Bingo codes like some of the other poker pros.

Since he is a UB spokesman, Baldwin plays the rest of his poker 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 will attempt to see many pots multi-way and win chips that way.

In 2009 Baldwin was the Card Player “Player of the Year”, so I’m happy for any advice Baldwin is willing to give. If you’re looking to get into real money poker, be sure to go through all your options. A Bwin Poker download has some good features, but as you’ve seen from my previous articles, UB is a great site too.
