cowpig

Born on a farm of unknown whereabouts*, Cowpig was always an outcast and rebel. A proud and defiant animal, he left home rather young to make a name for himself. Unfortunately, it is often difficult for a bizarre cross-species affront to God to find work in this world. He was also lazy, having grown up in a sty and eating from a trough. And so, despite his talents and dreams, Cowpig was grudgingly working for minimum wage at a video rental store until the age of nineteen.

Fearing that he would spend the rest of his peak years under-achieving, doomed to writing bad screenplays and lamenting his undiscovered genius, Cowpig decided it was time for a change. He had always enjoyed the game of poker, and had salivated at graphs of robusto players on internet poker forums. Furthermore, he was attracted to the democratic nature of the game. If Howard Lederer or Kathy Liebert could do it, a cow/pig hybrid couldnít possibly be too out of place in the poker world.

And so, in January of 2007, Cowpig deposited a few hundred dollars on Pokerstars and set out to begin his career as a poker player. Combining the wits of a pig and madness of a cow, he began to develop his filthy LAG style of play that many have come to fear. This process was especially bolstered by his meeting fslexcduck, who opened his eyes to new ideas such as 5-bet shoving 52s at the final table of a WSOP event for implied meta-game value.

Within about half a year, Cowpig had successfully developed a 32/28 style at 6-max which allowed him to rain on the parades of many, many nits at 5/10 with A-high snapcalls and check-raise trifectas. These days, Cowpig specializes in mid/high stakes heads-up play, as he feels the one-on-one variety of poker gives him the greatest opportunity to play like a filthy, rebellious hybrid farm-animal.
