Marcel Luske
Marcel Luske has not done anything that is all that
incredible in the world of poker but that does not mean he is not famous by any
stretch. Born in 1953 inside Amsterdam, Luske has
managed to build an image of popularity despite the fact that he has yet to
claim any of the many titles that poker has to offer. Many people wonder why he is being called a
star, but there is no doubt if you ask anyone who plays with him if he is or
not. There is something about Marcel
Luske that just makes him special. For
one thing, his poker career is still in the infant stages, less than three
years as a matter of fact. Then you take
into consideration the overly flamboyant style that he maintains and you see
that he is nothing short of the perfect spokesman for the world of poker and he
takes this task very seriously.
This is
not to say that he does not win.
Actually he is very good at the game and has brought in a lot of money
to support himself as he plays full time on the circuit as well as the casinos. Luske has made two appearances on Late Night
Poker but those did not turn out to be very good for him. He then made a run for the main event in
World Series of Poker and this proved to be quite the change, as he placed
tenth overall and he has continued to place in the money for the World Series
of Poker consistently over time.
The
over the top style that Luske maintains has only helped to garner the image
that he is one of the best. He is known
to wear his sunglasses upside down during play and is fond of wearing a suit
and sneakers to maintain a level of comfort.
He is also very talkative during the games, but never berates the other
players as he considers this to be rude.
This manner of graciousness has earned him a reputation as being one of
the better people to play with a long the way.
This is not an easy thing to accomplish as so many poker players are
known to be arrogant and self absorbed to say the least.
At
fifty three years old, Luske has every intention of one day bringing home the
top prize but until then he is more than happy where he is and continues to
show marked improvement in his game.
