All Star Champion
Winter Season ’11
Steve Grier is an Atlanta native. He has played with the Atlanta Poker Club since March, 2010. Steve hadn’t played Texas Hold’em before he joined us. Steve said he started taking his game seriously in Winter Season ’11.
Favorite Poker Player – Phil Ivey. I like the way he conducts himself at the poker table. He rarely shows emotion. He’s always cool. Just can’t put him on a hand. I admire his game.
Who has influenced your play the most? – A lot of people, and most everybody in the APC. Andrew Moore taught me the game.
Goals in the APC? – It would be great to win the Grand Championship or the Yearly. I want to at least make the final table in the Grand Championship this year as I made it to the last three tables last year.
Advice for new players? – A beginner should listen to the more experienced players. The more experienced players bring you along. You learn a lot by watching their play. We can’t all be super agressive. We can’t all be a tight player. Most importantly, stay true to yourself and what kind of poker player you really are.
How did it feel to win the prestigious All Star Tournament? – It didn’t really sink in until I got home and then I felt great. Realized what an accomplishment it was. My hope is to repeat it one day.
