Eric Baldwin

If you have the notion to download free poker but you cannot choose between the multitude of US poker sites, I’ll introduce you to Eric Baldwin, another member of Team UB. The 27 year old poker player has had great success with tournament poker since he turned pro. He was born in WI, so it makes sense that he went to the University of Wisconsin where he earned a Psychology degree along with a Minor in Math. However, it makes sense that he moved to Vegas upon going pro.

Baldwin can be found on some of the best US poker sites, but since he has earned over $3 million playing live events, he is mostly known as a live tournament pro. His wins include one WSOP bracelet in 2009 in Event 34, a $1,500 buy-in with $521,932 for 1st place. In WSOP 2010 he cashed in four events but he didn’t make any final tables. His largest cash was in the Main Event where he finished in 59th place for $138,285.

This young tournament star can also be found playing the big WPT events. In late 2009 he won an event in the Five Diamond World Poker Classic for $256,660. In August 2009 he placed 3rd in a Legends of Poker event, and in 2008 he placed first in Event 2 in the Five Star World Classic Poker Classic for $148,860. I wonder if Baldwin ever makes a free slots download to get his mind off the pressure of playing tournaments?

Since he is a UB spokesman, Baldwin also spends his time in online tournaments on the top Texas Hold'em sites. He claims that online games are much more aggressive preflop than live games. He tries to earn most of his chips without showdown when he plays online whereas live he is happy to see multi-way flops.

Card Player named Baldwin the 2009 “Player of the Year”, so I’m happy for any advice Baldwin is willing to give. If you’re looking to get into money poker sites, you should weigh your options carefully. An Everest Poker download can’t be a bad option, but go through my old articles to see what UB can offer you as well.
