Online skill development site PokerVT.com has added online sensation Jon “PearlJammer” Turner to its growing roster of online pros.
The virtual training site, brainchild of Daniel Negreanu, broke the standard online poker training mould last year with state-of-the art training techniques such as the “Real Time Thought Process” series that captures the inside strategies of beginning, advanced and professional players during live play. As one of the pros at PokerVT, Turner joins the ranks of fellow members Daniel Negreanu, Jason “JCarver” Somerville, Adam Junglen and Grayson “SpaceGravy” Physioc.
“I’m thrilled to be part of the PokerVT team,” Turner said. “Having greats like Daniel Negreanu on board gives us an image and separates us from other training sites in regards to attracting the casual poker player and fan.”
“It is Poker VT's use of live games in their studios that is revolutionary. It’s this kind of innovation that really attracted me to the company.”
Jon Turner’s name is synonymous with online success. In April he came 3rd in the PokerStars.com SCOOP series main event, winning $527,100 – his biggest tournament cash to date. A few months later he transferred his skills to the live arena with ease with three cashes and two final tables at the World Series of Poker in Vegas.
“There are certainly different aspects of the game that become more or less important depending on whether you are playing live or online,” Turner said, noting that his success has been the product of honing his skills in both the virtual and “real” poker worlds. “But poker is still poker either way, and getting better in one world will no doubt making you stronger in the other one.” |
