KEVIN MARTIN POKER
Growing up in a small town in northern Alberta, Kevin Martin dreamed of finding an industry where he could chase his dreams. After playing his first poker hand in 2014, he knew the poker world was it.
About Me
Kevin Martin
He quickly devoured poker strategy books and quit his radio DJ job to pursue the game full time. The first couple years he could be found grinding it out in small cash games in Canadian Casinos. After he successfully built a bankroll, he decided to pursue online tournaments. From the very first MTT he played he turned on his cameras and live-streamed his journey to the world. Kevin started as a losing player in the micros but through pure will and determination now competes in high-stakes games while entertaining his audience. His community has always appreciated his authenticity as he has shown the joy of 100k+ upswings and the pain of -100k downswings. Kevin Martin is GGpoker’s main ambassador for streaming and poker content.
