Player Of The Week

This weeks player of the week is Tom Borgerding. Tom is a one of the CSOP founders. He's played in almost every single CSOP event. He has been instrumental in several of the changes to help improve the CSOP. He has also been instrumental in the decision in giving each player more chips to start out with. This is because Tom needed more bluffing room in the beginning of the tournament. What can I say about Tom's poker play?? Well, Tom's play is like watching a good movie, you have no problem paying to be entertained. I have seen Tom play bald headed with a fake tattoo pasted to his forehead. I have seen him bust out the first hand and I have seen him beat everybody to take 1st place. Tom is not a middle ground type he usually busts out early or makes it to the end. His play is super aggressive and you never know when to believe him. He has come along way since I first played the game at my first CSOP. I can honestly say that he is very entertaining to
watch. Every week I try to pick a player with a certain flare to their play but mostly players who show good character. Tom is a great dad and a happily married man of several years. He gives his family priority and keeps their needs met. He is a jack of all trades. He owns a few businesses that he keeps running all by himself. He is also a God fearing man who has been a spiritual leader to many people. He understands and appreciates Gods mercy. He has been through many physical battles with heart troubles, but presses on knowing God is in control. We should all take heed a bit to the way Tom looks at poker and life, sometimes it's not how well you play but how much fun did you have playing?? Congratulations Tom on being player of the week, I think you got your groove back.
