Torsten started playing Poker 2005 while he was serving German Army Service, starting with smaller tournaments and sit-n-go’s. After Army Service Torsten needed a little side income to have a side income and a nice University time, that was when he got to know about PokerStrategy.com. With a starting capital of $50 from PokerStrategy he started playing more often and cleared various bonuses from different Online Sites with a short stack strategy. When he reached a $2k bankroll, he moved to shorthanded games and MTT´s.

By that time, he occasionally had some live sessions with friends or in the casinos. The first great big success came in 2009, where he won a 1k event in Enschede, since that time and the necessary bankroll for MTT´s he never had to worry about his bankroll, it worked out very well for Torsten. He added several top online results (2nd @ WCOOP event) and a major live Cash (2nd @ Grand Final in Madrid 2011) to his list of successes.
