Not Another Online Wonder (Jason Strasser)

Jason Strasser is currently sitting in 2nd place in our LAPC main event. Unlike many of the "online wiz kids" Jason has a solid footing for both his poker achievements and the rest of his life. Currently enrolled in the Engineering School at Duke University, Jason has no visions of leaping full time into poker as he's going to be heading to Wall Street instead of moving to Las Vegas and hitting the tournament circuit full time. Although his online play (strassa2) certainly could change his lifestyle.

Four money finishes in the 2006 WSOP lend credence to Jason's crossover from online to brick and mortar play.
