Like most young people back then, when Richard burst into the poker scene he was young, brash, and full of ego.
He thought he could so easily take over the world.
Most people who knew Richard Marquez back then would tell you this to be a fact.
There were tournaments he blew because of his ego. He just could not let it go.
Then he got involved in bad things just so to play.
But that was so long ago.
Richard Marquez has matured over the years. The pandemic also helped him reflect on his life.
During the pandemic, live poker events were not allowed. Even if there were many online events. As a player who was more active on the live scene. It was not an easy transition.
Day 1’s will start soon.
