2009 Recap

Congrats to Daisyxoxo aka Jeremy Fitzpatrick on winning the 2009 Bluff Online Player of the Year (OPOY). A couple of years ago, Daisyxoxo decided to invest money in himself and together with a couple of friends hired the Maven to train him in tournament poker. Since that time he's grown into the Maven's top student and has made a huge name for himself in the online poker world.
Having the Bluff OPOY award stay within the ArisTrainingCenter.com family is a tremendous honor and further proof of the benefits of our training.
2009 was a great year for ArisTrainingCenter and TheMavenVT. After winning the 2008 Bluff OPOY, the Maven was featured on the front cover of Bluff Magazine's April edition along with a 4 page article on the Maven and our business. In November, The Maven was the lead commentator of the WSOP Main Event live coverage. Lastly in December, Aris Training Center was featured in a Cardplayer.com "Cribs" like video.
On the table the success our students had was phenomenal. One of our students won player of the FTOPS (Full Tilt Online Poker Series) by final tabling 3 ftops events in the course of 8 days. Another student had a deep run in a WCOOP (PokerStars premier series- World Championship of Online Poker) event for almost $100,000. In a 2 week period, another of our students won 5 PokerStars $100 Freezeouts. And the list goes on... It's been a great year for the Aris Training Center family and I'm looking forward to 2010 being bigger and better. With the upcoming launch of TheMavenVt, The Maven, Daisyxoxo and myself will be able to impart our poker knowledge to a wider audience.
