A poker player as long as I can remember, I moved online in 2004 amidst the insane and beautiful landscape that was flourishing around the game. I was inspired to create Beat The Fish the following year after realizing how inadequate the poker side of the Internet was.
Over a decade later, I'm still at it, providing what I feel are the most complete and honest poker reviews on the Internet. The key is actually doing what 95% of reviewers don't do: actually play at the site in question. I'm a real player that has been with some poker sites for more than 12 years.
My news team and I choose the most original story of the day to report on with real perspective. No dull second-rate tournament results here.
My strategy provides real actionable techniques for players or varying skill levels. Beginners are going to learn a ton, but I'm still sure to include enough challenging material for vets.
I still think poker is the best game in the world and I'm just as committed to helping it be a little bit better for those who stop by BTF.
