Brandon Cantu
Brandon Cantu agrees with Tiffany Michelle: he would also encourage you to download free poker from the UB site. After Cantu learned to play poker in Washington from his grandfather, he got dealt hands in casinos in Oregon. He currently lives in Las Vegas since he can easily get to casinos for US players there.
The decision to go pro came four years ago in Vegas once he won over $750k for 1st place in a WSOP event. An interesting fact about that bracelet win is that it was his very first major tournament. Since then, he has cashed several more times in US poker rooms. Where WSOP is concerned, he won a second bracelet in 2009 in Event 48, a PLO tournament, for $228,967. His PLO win came a few days after a 2nd place finish in Event 39. He earned an impressive $403,951 in that NLHE event. The highest he ever placed in the ME was 2 years back when he took 20th for $257,334.
He also has three cashes in the World Poker Tour including his first WPT title in the Bay 101 Shooting Star championship for $1 million. In that tournament he also busted 6 bounty players good for $5k a piece! As such, he got the nickname “The Bounty Hunter”. It would make sense if the six pros he took out of that tournament wished he played flash Texas Holdem for a living instead!
Cantu has cashed for over $3.4 million in live tournaments. Since he’s a UB pro you must be wondering how he does in online casinos for USA players. Because he prefers live poker, he actually doesn’t play on money poker sites that often. As you expected, though, being a UB rep means that he has to play at least a bit online. His UB screen name is “brandoncantu”, and he can be found playing tournaments and high stakes cash games.
If you asked Cantu how you can see better tournaments results, he would tell you to be more aggressive. You should forget about your intention to download free casino games if you want a chance to become successful like Cantu. It would be way more worthwhile to get on a poker site and start building a bankroll.
