BIO

My first hand of poker was in 1978, 5 card-draw for bingo chips with grandparents. I played all the time at middle school, high school, and on into college with the same guys that I play with today, just like my Dad. We moved up the stakes from .10/.20 at 11 years old to 5/5 NL, uncapped. I started reading the twoplustwo forums in the fall of 2002. That was the beginning of where I am today and I've played up to 1000/2000 HORSE games, wow, times have changed.

Joe Tall has played some of the highest mix games online, see his 500/1000 HORSE videos. A long time student of Tommy Angelo (5 years), Joe teaches Tiltless-like training specific for online players.

Joe Tall is a DeucesCracked Executive Producer.

Why do I coach? A. I love poker. Poker is my passion. I had such a great experience with my own coach, Tommy Angelo that I decided to start coaching myself. Its three years and 170 students later, and as long as someone wants to talk poker with me, I'll take that conversation over any other. Most importantly coaching has made me a better poker player as I'm learning from my students all the time.

Why DeucesCracked? A. DeucesCracked started off as a fun side project with DeathDonkey and Entity as we felt there was a gap in how video-teaching was being presented. We kept it small and a steady pace, always looking to improve from customer feedback and to keeping a focus on quality. Now our hard work has made DeucesCracked the industry leader.
