Max’s (RunitTrim) Introduction
A more detailed post about my poker life is here: Max’s poker story
Hey guys,
My name is Max Steinberg, I’m a 21 year old twin living in Oakland, CA. I went to school for 3 semesters majoring in business before i decided it wasn’t for me and left to pursue professional poker. When i first started as a professional i played only a few hours a day and partied way too much, and because i ran well and Heads-up games were easier i was able to make very good money. More recently i’ve decided to take my job more seriously and when i’m not traveling i play about 35 hours a week.
My bread and butter game is headsup cash games. But, because of my reputation, i stopped getting action from any easy money so i started to focus on 6-max cash. My sign in on fulltilt is RunItTrim, which is sort of an inside joke having to do with some people a hung around with when i lived in Iowa, and my pokerstars name is Redgrape, which was a totally random name i made up when i first started online. I play mainly 5/10 but will play up to 25/50 and sometimes higher if Danny wants to split action. I also play some CAP nl, hu sngs, and live tournaments. I’ve had two big tournament cashes in my career, one when i placed 2nd in LAPT Costa Rica for $144,000 dollars, and recently when I placed 2nd in WSOP event #8 for over $350,000.
I love traveling and in the past couple years i’ve been to 10 countries spread all over the world thanks to poker. I have many friends all over the world and have a raging good time anywhere i go. Frankly i love my life and love that i can spend so much time working on a game that i have so much fun trying to solve, and make a lot of money doing it.
