MJ Bernstein is a 28-year-old
poker upstart living in Chicago, IL. After years as a regular in the cash
game arena, MJ recently made the transition to playing tournament poker full-time.
MJ can usually be found driving to the bigger WSOP Circuit and WPT events
on the east coast, since he isn't a big fan of flying. With a good amount
of success on the tournament scene over the last couple of years, and having
become increasingly good at live single table sit-n-gos and super satellites,
Bernstein hopes to have his breakthrough tournament moment sometime in the
near future. "I certainly do not get to play the volume of live tournaments
I want, but it is fun to be an East Coast player and have camaraderie with
some of the other top players out here like David "Dr.Fox" Fox, Joe "JoeyTheB"
Brooks and Matt Brady," says Bernstein."
My mid-life crisis
was different than most other women I know. Mine was stimulating, filled with
joy and turned into an amazing mid-life rebirth.When I asked my life-partner,
Greg, to teach me how to play poker in 1996, little did I expect it would
lead to a new, exciting career complete with adventure, travel and ultimately
fortune. Granted, the ultimate fortune is yet to come, but I KNOW it will.
Greg keeps saying the 2004 World Series of Poker is mine. Sure that's a lofty
goal, but I've always been an overachiever!
