Meet Your Instructor
My name is Michael. I started learning how to deal poker professionally when I was 20 years old. I’m very thankful for the poker industry and how it has provided me with a life and income as I enter my 12th year in the business. I originally moved to Texas seeking mentorship to become a knowledgeable floor supervisor and to play a key role in a management team, but I’ve found that my true passion is instructing people who have the initiative to learn. Dealing is a discipline that has significantly improved my quality of life. I truly believe poker here in Texas is something special, and there’s no better time to be part of it. I have helped dozens of people learn how to deal or improve their skills. If you are serious about getting your foot in the door of the poker industry, it would be an honor to share that knowledge with you.
