The Passion of Jeff Kimber for Online & Live Poker Games

Jeff Kimber is a poker professional who is starting to get more and more popular because of his outstanding skills in playing poker. Because of the fact the he excels in playing poker, it has started to become his source of income. Nevertheless, he continues his day job as a sports journalist, a profession that he has been holding even before he got bitten by the poker bug.

It was in 1996 that Jeff Kimber obtained his bachelor's degree from Leeds University. After his graduation, he soon became a sports journalist, having written articles for various publications, such as the "Guardian," the "Sunday Times," and the "Press Association." Today, aside from playing poker, another thing that keeps him busy is his job as a sports editor for such magazines as "TV & Satellite Week," "What's on TV," and "TV Times." But of course, Jeff Kimber can never deny the fact that he has been earning more as a poker professional than as a sports journalist.

Jeff Kimber's interest in playing poker started while he was watching the television show "Late Night Poker." At that time, online poker was being launched and promoted. He surfed the Internet and signed up at the Web site www.pokerroom.com. His knowledge of limit games was gained only from watching. He had never experienced playing such poker game before but it was the first game he tried online. The first few times he played online were not very successful. Nevertheless, he was earning cash quite reasonably. As more and more Web sites featuring poker games emerged, Jeff Kimber found himself registering to each one of them until he became hooked in playing online poker games.

A London-based poker professional, Jeff Kimber has been recognized by Great Britain as one of its best online poker players. One of the biggest achievements of this poker professional was winning US$100,000 at an online poker game hosted by the World Poker Tour on March 3, 2006.

One of Jeff Kimber's achievements in the live poker circuit was placing fifth in the Main Event No Limit Hold'em event of the Midland Master poker tournament that was held on November 25, 2006. The amount he received as a fifth placer was worth US$13,160.

Right now, the ultimate dream of Jeff Kimber is to be a very successful poker professional that will eventually make him earn enough money to sustain himself for a very long time. That way, he can leave his work as a sports journalist for good and just concentrate on playing poker all his life.

When Jeff Kimber is not playing poker or is not working, he is out with his friends partying. This poker professional who idolizes poker giants Phil Ivey and Paul Jackson loves the motion picture "Pulp Fiction," and believe it or not, his favorite music is the theme from the television program "The Muppet Show."
