Jimmy "Gobboboy" Fricke

At the legal age of 18, Jimmy Fricke also know as "Gobboboy" started his poker journey when his friends introduced him the game. With a $300 bankroll, Jimmy grinded out from the lowest limit. It was just a matter of time when his poker career changed.

Three reasons to love Jimmy Fricke 

Months after Jimmy got into poker "Gobboboy" entered an online tournament with over 2,000 players and placed 2nd for $3500. This was the turning points for Jimmy's career. Jimmy never looked back and started terrorizing online tournaments. His next win cam in September 2006 when he came in at a disappointing 2nd place for a cool $20,000.

It was never about the money to Jimmy, Jimmy wanted to win. A month later, Jimmy finally came in 1st and took home over $45,000 by winning the $200,000 guaranteed tournament. In the next 6 months, Jimmy raked in over £200,000 from his online tournament winning and as if that was not enough Jimmy Fricke came in 2nd in the 2007 Aussie Millions Tournaments and took home over $800,000.

Jimmy's earning is well over $1,000,000 and he is still a teenager. Jimmy feels like he hasn't accomplished that much until he is old enough to participate in the WSOP events. When Jimmy turns 21, he is going to terrorize WSOP events and until then , you will see Jimmy Frecke in big cash games and tournaments.

I have watched you play a few times, and since I have bought the 2007 Aussie Millions DVD. I must admit I am a big fan of yours and many times throughout the DVD watched your plays, and over and over again said I'd make the same moves. I wish you all the best and if you are ever in Melbourne don't be scared to send me an e-mail!

Cheers mate
