Vince Van Patten digs up his poker roots
He's come a long way from sporting fake facial hair...
I started playing at age nine and was taught by my father. I watched him play in a weekly game, which was a pretty decent size for back then, when poker wasn’t as big. They’d play every kind of poker you can think of and often, I’d be up watching until five in the morning.
At age 14, I was asked to play with them and I loved it. I was incredible passionate about it and I learned a lot.
When I was about 15 ½, I went to Gardena in California, where poker had been legalized. Still, the legal age to gamble was 21, so I put on a fake beard and moustache to get in. No one said anything, but I know I looked like a freak. Obviously, my playing wasn’t top-notch then, so I was broke within an hour.
I’ve learned though, and I continue to learn. While after a certain point, your playing may never get better, there are always nuances of the game you can learn. It’s this boldness and maturity that really contribute to your knowledge of the game.
I know I've learned some valuable stuff from my mistakes. You players at HollywoodPoker.com have certainly taught me a thing or two!
