Full Name: Kirk Zimmerman
Aka: The Scoop
Originally from: Baltimore, MD, USA
Currently residing: Dallas, TX, USA
Personal motto:
Play for money, not friends. Be ruthless, not kind. And when someone trusts you, scoop their whole stack.
Professional background:
I have spent the last 6 years working in hotels and have recently moved into sales. Any chance you get to make more money than you were before, take it. Or if you get fired and you have to take a job so your kids can eat, take it.
Previous Poker writing:
I have written with a collaboration of writers under the guise of pokerguru. I can tell you now, always make sure you are getting credit for your work. ALWAYS.
Poker playing history:
I have been playing poker longer than I have been working. I started playing with friends after games of pool. I would win everyone’s money in the pool games and then give it back during poker. It took over a year before I actually started winning even in the home games. I have never read a how-to book on playing poker and I never will. My style is all my own and I choose to keep it that way. I tried to play professionally two times in my life. Both ended with me going broke and moving in with someone else. I can no longer afford to take this risk since I have a wife and a child to look after.

Poker accomplishments:
1st in a daily $100 tournament. 1st in a 1000 entry daily cash

Most important quality a good Poker player must possess:
Patience 

Favourite Ice cream:

Additional Comments:

Favourite Poker quote:
“Phil, you’re just a punk!”- Steve Danneman during the Tournament of Champions speaking to Phil Helmuth.

Favourite Poker Pro:
Has to be Negreanu. Anyone who can take your money and make you enjoy it while you do is an artist. Like the up and coming Tom Dwan. Hyper aggressive and he just looks like he always has you figured out.
