Peter Jetten: Early Life

When he was younger, Petter Jetten played track and field, hockey, and other sports while attending an all-boys school. When he realized he wouldn’t be able to pursue his initial dream of becoming a professional hockey player, he began to show an increased interest in markets and finance.

In high school, he played a little bit of poker before switching to playing money games and freerolls. He spent the $75 he earned from freerolls on sit-n-gos, tournaments, and cash games. He ultimately decided to drop out of school and concentrate on his poker career.
