Scott Seiver: how was his professional career built?

Scott Seiver was born on April 14, 1985, in Ohio, USA, but he grew up a famous poker player in New York. Scott began to show interest in the popular card game in his student years. He spent a lot of time trying to learn all the peculiarities of poker. And it gave excellent results at the poker tables.

However, studying took up more of Seiver’s free time, so he decided to switch from live tournaments to virtual ones in online poker rooms. In Full Tilt he played under the nickname Mastrblastr, and in PokerStars played under the pseudonym Gunning4you.

If you look at their biography, many poker players left their educational institutions for a poker career. However, Scott Seiver is one of the few who successfully graduated from university and even got a job at the investment bank Lehman Brothers. Despite this quite responsible decision, Seiver quickly realized that working with computer technologies and economics is not his cup of tea. Therefore, he decided to quit his job and take up poker more seriously.

Scott Seiver started playing live tournaments again, and his income began to increase rapidly.
