Poker
Academy Student Wins Big
Poker Academy, the leading Texas
Holdem poker software developer with world renowned
artificial intelligence, today announced that
"Big Ron" Hargrove won $133,760 by
making the final table and finishing third place
at the Caesars Palace Casino Circuit Champ Tournament.
Big Ron attributes a big part of his success
to training diligently with Poker Academy Texas
Holdem software. The tournament took place on
October 30 through November 2, 2005, in Elizabeth,
Indiana.
"After
practicing hard all week with your software
in tournament mode, I entered the Caesars Indiana
Super Satellite tournament in the World Series
of Poker and won a seat in the circuit championship
event worth $10,000," said "Big Ron"
Hargrove. "I practiced even harder the
following week and ended up making the final
table, taking third place, winning a whopping
$133,760. I am telling you, if you want to take
your game to the professional level, this is
the software that will help take you there."
"Big
Ron's success is the ultimate testament to value
inherent in our poker software," said Kurt
Lange, president and CEO of Poker Academy. "Not
only is Poker Academy a great game, one that
keeps you challenged as your ability improves,
but it also is a fantastic training tool. Because
our single and multi-table tournament feature
allows you to simulate any tournament structure
on the professional circuit, Big Ron was able
to train in a realistic manner – one that
proved to be very worthwhile. We are thrilled
to be part of his big win."
Big
Ron learned about Poker Academy software on
"The Screen Savers" show on G4Tech
TV earlier this year. Poker pro Thomas "Thunder"
Keller was talking about the software. "I
thought I would give Poker Academy a try,"
said Big Ron. "I used to use Turbo Holdem,
but I was immediately impressed with the look
and feel of Poker Academy over Turbo Texas Holdem.
I gradually moved up to Poker Academy Pro 2
as new editions became available."
According
to Big Ron, he trained with Poker Academy software
by choosing tournament mode, set the players
to 250, and practiced 6-8 hours a day leading
up to the tournament. "I am certain my
success at the tables is due in no small part
to the hard practice I put in with your excellent
software," he said.
Recently
Big Ron entered a $200 tournament with 133 entrants
and made the final table again. He took 7th
place and won $1,330. "That means I am
3 for 3 in tournament-style final tables and
cashes, mostly due to the long hours of practice
with your software!" he said. "Can
you say hat trick?"
"Big
Ron" Hargrove is 47, a semi retired small
business owner, a proud father of one daughter,
and he is especially proud of his two granddaughters.
He currently resides in central Kentucky.
