Technically, I was a professional poker player at age 16.
I made 2k+ a month for 6 straight months my Junior Year of HS at 17, the most consistent stretch I ever had to actually participate without life’s distractions. In college, I beat one of the winningest player in online poker history, Elky, in my dorm room as a Freshman at The University of Michigan, on PokerStars, Post-oak bluff style for over a thousand dollars in one hand.

Now, we see that those bastards stole our money, preventing, perhaps, a Young Snarf like me from moving up in the ranks…
But, that isn’t the point!
I chose Sports over Money.
