My name’s Ryan Riske and I’m 30 years old. In September 2015 I quit my job and moved to Toronto to play poker and stream on Twitch. It may sound impulsive, but you have to take risks to get what you want. As long as they’re calculated. It was a conventionally good job. I paid my dues at a top tier business school, competing for top grades, just so I could land an entry-level job as a Consultant. But after 3 years of pushing papers—when I started making more money playing poker than at my 9 to 5—I decided to go all in. You could say it all started 6 years ago when I won $50 over a casual game with friends. On a whim I turned to the online tables and started my grind, never re-depositing any more of my own money.
