Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon Supports "Mama H0" on the Rail During WSOP Event #29
We ran into online poker legend Mark ��P0ker H0�� Kroon, sweating �� of all people �� his mother, Marilyn Guess, in Event #29: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship. Kroon also played in the Seniors event but busted on Day 1.
Kroon was a fixture in the ��hey day�� of online poker, accumulating over $1,000,000 in tournament cashes. But our topic of discussion was about his mother��s deep run in the Seniors event.
Guess, affectionately pinned with the moniker, ��Mama H0,�� finished 107th out of 4,128 entries and pocketed $3,269.
Kroon was happy to watch her in action.
��She would stand on the rail and watch me all day,�� Kroon said. So it seems only fitting that ��I��ve stayed here all day railing her.��
Have you given your mom any tips?
��She has a lot of chips, but I tell her she can pick up more, especially right before dinner break, cause they all wanna make the break. She hasn��t had many showdowns. She��s only showed down aces, so she has a good image,�� Kroon said.
Poker has spanned three generations in the Kroon family. ��My grandmother taught me poker. You know, just playing for small stakes at home for fun,�� Kroon said.��She��s living her dream," speaking of his mother. "It��ll make for the best rail!��
