Luca Pagano
If anyone needs a definitive picture of the new generation of poker players, they can find it in Luca Pagano. It has only been a few years since Pagano was a computer programming student. Back then, the young Italian did not have much of a bankroll. When he started playing poker, he decided it would be best to start off playing for play money on PokerStars.com.
One day, the man with a mind for computers and stock market trading decided he had honed his skills well enough to play with real money. In the few years that have passed since that fateful decision, Pagano has done what some people can only dream. While the exact number is not one he's willing to disclose, Pagano has amassed online poker winnings that can be described in two words: "A lot."
Pagano is also a perfect picture of how online poker success can translate to brick and mortar poker abilities. Since starting to play live poker tournaments, Pagano has put together thousands upon thousands of dollars in winnings. Among his many achievements in the past few years, Pagano has cashed in five European Poker Tour events, including making two final table appearances.
While the young Italian has had a lot of success in no-limit hold'em events, Pagano still considers himself a short-handed and heads-up limit Texas hold'em specialist.
After enjoying a long unofficial relationship with PokerStars, Pagano has found a home with Team PokerStars Pro. You'll find Pagano playing in the biggest poker tournaments in the world and online at PokerStars. Pagano plays at PokerStars under the screen name LucaPagano.
