University of Auckland (2021-2022)

My name’s Nathaniel, I acted as co-president of the University of Auckland poker club in 2020. Poker club was my introduction to the game of poker, and ever since, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the game. Socially, the club has been a great avenue to meet new and interesting people whom I now consider many of them good friends. Furthermore, studying the game and it’s fundamental concepts has been a good introduction into risk management, business and economics. Poker club has been such a valuable experience for me and thus I hold a lot of pride about our club and the legacy that it holds. Go wildcats.

I studied music at the University of Auckland, and discovered poker through the UoA Poker Club in 2018. In 2020 me and a few other friends took over running the UoA poker club, and now much of my time not spent playing or teaching music, I spend playing small stakes cash games online.

Hi, my name is Hubert and I am a current student at UoA studying engineering, and I am also currently the President of the UoA Poker Club.

Hi, I am a Commerce and Science student at the University of Auckland. I was born in Shanghai, China but moved to New Zealand when I was six years old. In my spare times I enjoys hanging out with friends and playing sports such as basketball, tennis, soccer, or badminton outside of work and study. I also love playing games, especially strategical ones such as poker, chess, or League of Legends.

I’ve been with the club since it’s founding in 2014 and have been playing there to this day. Since graduating in 2018, I worked as a software developer at a local cryptocurrency exchange for 2 and a half years before taking a break from working. Playing poker was a natural step for me to take after playing games, in general, with a competitive mindset.
