Tony Kokko

History

Tony is one of the rising young guns from Finland. He got his first touch with poker when he was just 10 years old. At the time it was his way to earn some extra pocket money. It came obvious to him that poker was a game of skill, and the best players always wins in the long run.

Tony kept this in mind, when he heard about online poker at age of 17. He was hooked instantly and quickly started playing with playmoney online. And also soon he made his first deposit of $20. Like most beginners, he struggled with poor bankroll management and went broke couple of times, pursuiting his dream of becoming a professional player one day. After 1 year of playing - and nearly being broke once again - Tony hit the jackpot on $500 tournament at ongame, finishing 4th and cashing out $18.5k! This was a turning point to his whole career, and after this he has never gone broke again. Now hes focusing on poker full time, playing online, casinos, home games and anywhere possible.

Today Tony is grinding at NL200- NL600 stakes, and sharing his enthusiasm to poker with our members in the forums.
