S1x: Grinderschool Apprentice Full Ring Coach

Derek Allsup (also known as "S1x") started playing online in March of 2009. His interest in strategy games, combined with him watching a televised poker tournament for the first time, convinced him to try the game out. He starting with a $70 deposit, 1-tabling 5nl. He rose up the limits fast, and with assistance from Grinderschool Instructor UCDLaCrosse, was soon comfortable going up against most players at 100nl.

After Black Friday hit, his plans to pay for his own place from poker alone was halted, but he is starting over from a small deposit on Lock Poker due to his passion for the game. He is currently rising up through each level again, but this time with much more experience on his side.
