Young is a 28-year-old poker player from North Carolina. He started playing poker for a living three years ago and his performance has been outstanding since then. Young talked about how he has adapted to playing only a few live poker tournaments since traveling and sleeping on hotel beds affects his game.
Young also talked about how poker is a complex game that involves skill, luck, and other factors like patience, attitude, and math. He will be concentrating on cash games at the 2011 WSOP since last year he entered 36 different events and did not have much success. All told, he wants to avoid getting obsessed with winning a WSOP bracelet.
