High Stakes Poker Spotlight -- Doug PolkOne Of Game's Best Talks About Rise To Fame |
|
Doug “WCGRider” Polk has two World Series of Poker bracelets and more than $5 million in lifetime tournament earnings, but he’s best known for being who many see as the toughest heads-up no-limit hold’em player alive.
The 27-year-old California native (now residing in Las Vegas) won the tag team event at the 2016 WSOP with fellow Upswing Poker coach and founder Ryan Fee. His first bracelet came in a 2014 $1,000 no-limit hold’em turbo event.
Polk is popular on the live streaming site Twitch, and he’s currently in the middle of a micro-stakes bankroll challenge. He’s trying to build up a $10,000 bankroll playing the mirco-stakes.
Though it doesn’t seem like he gets the online nosebleed action like he once did, Polk is still making a huge impact promoting the game of poker.
In this interview, Polk talks about last year playing the world’s top poker bot and some of the ways the online game has changed over the years. He also gives some insight into how he climbed the ladder in the online poker world and what it’s like to attempt that these days.
