Ram Vaswani started his poker career earlier than most. In the days before he was able to enter a casino legally or even shave, he was beating his schoolmates at the game of poker. Winning candy from his fellow students at the game of cards eventually got boring, and as he grew older this young man's fancy turned to thoughts of snooker. Using a stick to push little balls into pockets just didn't bring the money in fast enough, and Ram eventually went back to where he won the most candy: poker.
Today Ram "Crazy Horse" Vaswani plays poker for things more valuable than a tootsie roll or snickers bars. To date this player has surpassed the two million dollar mark as his total winnings in the game of poker. This is more than impressive especially considering that Ram is part of the sports youth movement, and has made more in his short career than some have made in a decade of play.
Among his impressive credentials, "Crazy Horse" holds the unique distinction of being the first player in history to make three final tables on the European Poker Tour. Add to this the fact that he is almost automatic to finish in the money at just about any World Series of Poker event he participates in, and you have a young man with a very bright future.When looking over his tournament record it is obvious that Ram favors the game of Hold 'em, but some of his most impressive performances have come when he has strayed from this game. These wins include a first place finish at the 2003 Four Queens Poker Classic playing Pot-Limit Omaha and a runner up spot at the 33rd World Series of Poker in 2002 playing 1/2 Hold 'em - 1/2 Seven-Card Stud.
As one of the next generation of professional poker players, the game's of the future is tied in to the future of players like Ram Vaswani. Apparently fans have very little to worry about when the brunsons and fergusons of the world trade their playing cards for Social Security checks.
