Tobias Duthweiler: Early Life

Tobias began playing cards during his senior year of high school. Poker was everywhere a few years after Moneymaker’s victory.

He began playing online SNGs and began to win without studying. He and his friend started going to the nearest casino. It was right after high school; the smallest game was NL400, and the two of them had about $1k. It didn’t bother them; they started playing, and both had an incredible upswing. 

Tobias spent nearly 5 years after high school working with children with developmental delays. It made him less concerned about poker and other minor setbacks later on. The work was extremely difficult, but he is grateful that he completed it and would not change anything.
