Brystmar is a native Texan and a CardRunners instructor since 2007.  He started learning poker in 2004 and became one of the best multitabling small-stakes NLHE players before developing into a winning 3-6 and 5-10 player. In April 2008, in search of a new challenge and softer games, he took up PLO, and he currently plays mid-stakes PLO on both Full Tilt and PokerStars.


Brystmar is also an accomplished tournament player. His biggest win came in November of 2008 when he took down the FTP Sunday $215 tournament, outlasting 3643 players for $132,000. He final tabled the 2008 Wynn Poker Classic, and went deep in the $10K LA Poker Classic before taking a bad beat to bust.


Aside from poker, Brystmar is a music fanatic with a love of the progressive rock genre.  His greatest musical passion is in analyzing and recreating complex rhythms, and he plans to purchase a full drum kit when he finally moves into a house with a garage.  He's also a dedicated beer geek and a USPA-certified skydiver.
