Troy Headrick aka BernardDogs
Troy’s earliest poker memory is from the eighth grade when he lost a $30 pot to some high school kids in an unfortunate Acey-Deucey incident. He didn’t have the cash to pay the pot, but was thankfully fronted by a friend who didn’t charge any juice. He has since learned about the skill games and has played on-line Hold ‘Em since the early days of PartyPoker. Troy mostly plays Sit-n-Go tournaments and Multi-table events, but lurks daily in the limit discussions on ITH as he hopes to improve that side of his game. He makes steady “extra money” each year, is thankful for a solid and regular home game with a great group of guys, and remains fascinated by the sociological components of the game.
