Clubber has made his name as quite possibly the best player for the past two years on the Tribeca Tables Network. Clubber is a $20/$40 NL and sometimes but very rare $150/$300 limit player. Now that might not sound like a big game but in the last year alone Clubber picked up a cool $1,000,000 sat at home with his feet up.

If you play on the Prima Network you’ve probably heard of Bad_IP (Johnny Lodden) and if you play on Full Tilt Poker you must know Mike Matusow, Phil Ivey, Erik Seidel. The list goes on; I_KnockOut_U (Patrick Antonius) Poker Room, Phil Hellmuth UltimateBet, Daniel Negreanu from Full Contact Poker. What you don’t hear about it is the average joe professional player that’s making a killing playing online Poker. Enough of the introductions I caught up with Clubber to see ask how he started living every Poker players dream of being a full time professional player:

Name: David Taylor

Age: 24

Nationality: UK

Plays on the Tribeca Network as ‘Clubber’.

How did you start your Poker career?
A few guys at work started playing when I used to work at Zenith Windows. So I got involved and ended up bumming all of them. Then couple my mates started playing online, so I joined in.

What was your age when you first started?
21 I think, 20-21

Did you have any teachers that helped you get started?
Not really to be honest, I read Super Systems then it was all trial and error.

How did you know it’s time for playing Poker professionally?
Well I hated my job BAD, so when I won about $1k I quit the fucker lol.

Have you ever been interested in tournament play?
Hardly ever, once I won $600 in an MTT then went straight to $3/$6 NL.

So what’s your view on money management then, as it appears you didn’t follow it to the book?
Well when your first starting out I think you have to take some risks, but money management is important.

How much do you play in a week on average? How many hours per session?
Probably about 5/6 days a week 4- 8 hours a day, I used 2 play allot more though when I first started.

Have you ever thought of playing higher stakes with some of the top pros?
I am a pro; to be honest I like it here and know most of the players.

What do you think as the best/worst things being a Poker pro?
Best things are money and lifestyle, I do fuck all and worst is probably the stress of losing and chat abuse from all the rail birds. I don’t like birds abusing players, especially the ones who think they know best.

What do you think you’d do if you weren’t a Poker player?
Would probably still be at Zenith selling windows, just lucky I found Poker really.

Do you have anything planned for the future?
Not really, I don’t really like playing live play, I get bored quickly.

You can play Clubber on the Tribeca’s Network which is host to the well known and well respected Doyle’s Room.
