Michael Miller Finds Passion in Poker After Injury
PokerNews caught up with Michael Miller on break to talk about how he got into poker and what he enjoys about competing in RunGood events.
"Well, when I was in my forties, I blew up my right elbow and I had to give up softball, bowling, and golf, and that's when the poker boom was just beginning. So I got into poker, and the very first bar tournament I played in I came in third place. From there I just loved it and kept coming back."
Having worked in Community Recreation when he was younger, Miller now spends a lot of his time traveling to play poker and has amassed a slew of cashes in the past few years. His most recent victory came at the end of September when he took down the $250 NLH Seniors 50+ Ring Event at the RGPS Grand Prix New Orleans, good for a nice payday of $4,552.
"I like the people. I like the the structures, and the tournament staff is great. And I like the buy-ins, it's not nosebleeds. I just keep coming back because I can play. These are my kind of people for sure and I've been getting some very nice results."
