Background

Ross is a 26-year old former student from Chesterfield who worked as a full-time editor for Poker Player Magazine before turning pro in early 2011. He earns his living playing cash games ranging anywhere from $0.25/0.50 to $5/10, but is also keen to make an impact on the live tournament circuit since becoming a Black Belt Poker sponsored pro at the turn of the year. He now receives $1,500 per month in live tournament sponsorship and will be appearing in various events at venues around the London area and elsewhere.

Credentials

Armed with a determined and hard-working attitude, Ross has managed to churn out a comfortable living in cash games, playing over 500,000 hands and turning a consistent profit. In 2011, he won in excess of $50,000 despite it being his first year as a pro.

He only occasionally ventures into brick and mortar, yet already has two titles to his name including victories in the Virgin Poker Festival and Sky Poker Tour. He also final-tabled the PKR Live VI Main Event in early 2011 and has cashed in a UKIPT Main Event in Coventry.

With a background in journalism, Ross has developed excellent social skills, and has no trouble in communicating ideas and theories regarding the game. Currently, he writes a monthly strategy column for Poker Player Magazine and has already commenced writing articles on the Black Belt Poker site.
