Personal Statistics |
Hoping against hope not to be yet another impoverished college student, Greg Brooks began “bonus-whoring” as a way to generate extra income during his studies. In the spring of 2006, however, he changed his focus to actually playing the game and playing the game to win.
With the help of coaching, Greg worked his way up in stakes and finally had his breakthrough when he banked $25,000 in his first full month at $1/$2 NL on PartyPoker. He continued forward, crushing $2/$4NL and $3/$6NL for over 6ptbb/100 along the way to online poker celebrity.
In August, 2007, Greg and Chris Tickner began the process of developing LeggoPoker, which launched in November that year.
Today, you can find Greg playing $25/$50NL and $50/$100NL, as well as partaking in his significant role in the company. Not so shabby for a former youth soccer referee.
To Greg, the hardest part of excelling through the journey, posed by the challenges of poker, is the ability to backtrack and assess your faults as a player. This is especially true when the pace of improvement inexorably slows down.
Without pride in his way, Greg still holds conversations with other Leggo coaches about strategy.
“When we pick a coach to come aboard Leggo, if I do not think I personally can learn a lot from him, we don’t even consider bringing him on,” explains Greg, adding, ”There are no second-rate hiring’s.”
Three years from now, Greg hopes to still be playing poker professionally, while expanding LeggoPoker to its fullest potential in the poker education market.
Although he still lives with a busy schedule, Greg is a full-time college student attending Wake Forest University. He plans to graduate with a Communications Major and Entrepreneurship Minor.
We're guessing that is just the start for MYNAMEIZGREG. Coaching
