Brian Horton

Brian graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2006 with a BS in Business Management. He has been a professional poker player for 5 years, playing nearly every different facet of poker during his career. Over the past 2 years he has mainly played Multi Table Tournaments at the highest stakes both live and online. His major accomplishments include chopping the PokerStars Sunday Million, winning the Full Tilt Poker Weekly 1K, and final tabling the Winstar "River" Tournament 2 times within 3 years. He has just over 1 million dollars in total lifetime cashes.

While away from the tables, Brian has been a moderator of the 2+2 internet community for 5 years. He is the eldest moderator in the Multi Table Tournament Community section and was added as a moderator for the Poker Legislation section in late 2010. Over the years, he has been a constant fixture in threads pertaining to the poker industry and poker legislation.

Brian has used his inside sources within the online poker industry to inform the community of breaking news before it was announced by the actual sites. He broke the story of PokerStars' major overhauls to their VIP system including the addition of the ability to buy cash rewards, Stars' decision to stay in the US Market after the passing of the UIGEA, Party Poker's and 888's decision to leave the market after the passing of the UIGEA, and numerous updates from the Reid Bill during the last minute attempt at legislation in December of 2010.

Brian takes his role within the community very seriously, and he looks forward to bringing content to Subject: Poker from an unaffiliated and uninfluenced point of view.
