Eric Baldwin
If you are going to download free poker but are having trouble selecting from the large variety of US poker sites, I’ll introduce you to Eric Baldwin, another UB representative. At just 27 years old, Baldwin is another young player that has found great success in live tournament poker. He was born in Beaver Dam, WI, and he went to the University of Wisconsin and studied Psychology and Mathematics. He currently lives in Las Vegas.
Baldwin can be found on some of the best US poker sites, but since he has earned over $3 million playing live events, he is mostly known as a live tournament pro. He has one bracelet on his list of wins, earning over $500k in Event 34, a $1,500 NL Hold’em event. While he didn’t make any final tables this year in the WSOP, he still had some nice cashes. His largest cash was in the Main Event where he finished in 59th place for $138,285.
This young tournament star 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 for $148,860 in the Five Star World Classic Poker Classic. I wonder if Baldwin ever makes time for a free slots download like some of the other poker pros.
Since he is sponsored by UB, Baldwin plays the rest of his poker on top Texas Hold’em sites. According to Baldwin, the main difference between online and live games is that online games are much more aggressive preflop. Online he likes to chip up without showdowns in comparison to live where he is happy to see multi-way flops.
Card Player named Baldwin the 2009 “Player of the Year”, so I’m happy for any advice Baldwin is willing to give. When you first get into money poker sites, you should weigh your options carefully. An Everest Poker download is a good choice, but as you’ve seen from my previous articles, UB is a great site too.
