John G - Player Profile

Name: John Gordon
Nickname (how'd you get it): The jury is still out on what my nickname will be, but I think they are leaning towards “Best in Show” for obvious reasons. (I kid)
Age: 25
Location: Born in Atlanta, Ga., but now a resident of Sherman Oaks

Favorite hand to play:
I have never lost a pot with pocket eights suited, it’s almost unreal.

Favorite pro player:
Dutch Boyd, he knows every angle of the game and I respect that.

How did you learn about the 4SPT:
I rode in on the coat tails of Pink Bully. 

Best thing about winning the 4SPT:
The website say’s I won $255.00 that week, but in truth it was $256.00. That last little   dollar was twice as sweet as all the rest combined.

Most exciting/best hand you've had on the 4SPT:
I made a foolish all in call with pocket threes against someone (sorry still learning the names) with pocket nines. If I loose this hand my night is over, and I go home with my tail between my legs. The flop is three blanks, the turn is another blank, but there waiting for me on the river is my set and a second chance. I wish I could say my best hand was a remarkable lay down or a great call, but in actuality it can be attributed to dumb   luck.

4SPT player you don't want sitting next to you (why):
This would have to be Noah Hebert because he smells like the back seat of a taxi cab   and sings Lyle Lovett songs at the table.

Where/how did you learn to play poker:
My Godfather Hollis Lamon taught me how to play the game. We didn’t have playing cards so we made our own with construction paper, rubber cement, and a sharpee. We didn’t have chips either so we used match sticks and pocket lint. When my mom found out about this I was not allowed back to the Lamon’s, but Uncle Hollis said what Mama don’t know won’t hurt her and the lessons continued.

Yeah, that was me with the pocket Nines, damn you!!! (just kidding). I've been suffering some bad beats lately and that one really killed me (literally, too, it knocked me out that week)

Pocket eights suited? That does sound unreal.

We'll have to make sure Mr. Gordon wears short-sleeved shirts to the games -- just in case he ends up with 88 suited!
