Hi I'm Ghost 28 from Hong Kong, start to learn and play PLO since last year when join the PLO mastermind course Currently I'm playing at micro stake for practise and my aim is to play in high stakes in the future, and want to find peers to learn and push each other to improve every single day.

Hey guys, my name is Fernando — though most of you probably know me as JNandez. I was born in 1987 in Switzerland, where I grew up in a normal household with loving parents and two siblings. Throughout my youth, I always did “decent” in school, but never great. I didn’t really feel inspired or motivated to give school my full effort. Instead, I found that drive in other areas of life — mainly sports, volleyball, and personal improvement. I spent countless hours playing and coaching volleyball, and I loved the growth that came from training, learning, and pushing myself. But deep down, I knew it wasn’t something I could build a sustainable career around. I always had this sense that I had potential, that I had something to give, and I was drawn to learning from people who were older, more accomplished, and growth-minded. So I was searching for a path — something that could combine my passion for growth with a way to support myself financially and live independently. That’s when I discovered poker in 2005, during the Moneymaker boom. For the first time, I felt like I had found something I could dedicate myself to completely — a field that rewarded hard work, discipline, and constant learning, and one that could also provide financial independence. At first, it was just fun games with friends at school. But I was the one who took it further — I bought the books, studied strategy, and found joy in learning and growing through the game. I absorbed everything I could: from sites like Pokerstrategy.de to Harrington’s books, to Limit Hold’em and No Limit Hold’em theory. I played online freerolls, sometimes winning $50 or more, and slowly built my first small bankroll. One of my first successes was running a $500 bankroll up to $10,000 playing up to $1/$2 No Limit Hold’em cash games — before losing it all back (as many of us do at the start). Still, that moment sparked the idea that I could make a living doing this. Poker felt like the perfect vehicle — a way to grow, compete, and build a career on my own terms.
