About mattutaylor
Matt started out playing poker when he was 16 and won my first ever tournament on absolute poker when he was 17. It was a $20 rebuy tournament and he had no idea how he donked his way into a $900 score, which at the time was a very substantial amount of money to him. He carried on playing over his bankroll, playing games up to 5/10 LHE on absolute before going broke and actually starting to realise he wanted to learn the game properly.
At this point he started to study the game a lot using books and training sites.He had his first big score of $5,000 after winning a $20 MTT on stars at 19 and over the next few days he made another 2 big final tables making another $6,000. Something had clicked in his game and he genuinelly felt he really knew his game really well.
Looking back now, this was definitely not the case but this was definitely the turning point for him. 3 months later, he went professional and has since made a substantial profit and enjoy a comfortable lifestyle from playing poker.
Matt now plays a mixture of MTTs and Heads up Sngs across Pokerstars and Full Tilt, occasionally mixing in NLHE and PLO cash.
His poker Idols include Patrik Antonius and British pro, Ram Vaswani.
