JohnnyBax: Best Online Player, Bar None
|
If you are an online poker player, then there is a good chance that you have heard of JohnnyBax. If you are an online poker player and play tournaments on PokerStars or big tournaments on other sites, then you have undoubtedly heard of Cliff Josephy, AKA JohnnyBax. JohnnyBax dominates tournaments like no other online, and not only that, has the respect of his peers.
Who is JohnnyBax? JohnnyBax is Cliff Josephy, a stockbroker from Syosset, NY. Not only does JohnnyBax have a number of big online tournament wins under his belt, but he also famously captured a World Series of Poker bracelet for Seven Card Stud in 2005, taking down over $190k in the process. JohnnyBax had never played a hand of Seven Card Stud in his life before the tournament started, and received a 5 minute coaching lesson from Scott Fischman and his crew before the event started. And then went on to win the entire tournament.
JohnnyBax is a fixture at the daily $100+ buy-in tournaments on PokerStars, and can normally be seen at the major weekend tournaments on Party Poker, Paradise, Full Tilt, etc. All you have to do is take a look at his thepokerdb.com stats to see how good of a player Bax is.
In this age of young, disrespectful Internet players, JohnnyBax is a breath of fresh air, and a great ambassador for online poker. Not only that, but he's really, really good.
