Lee Davy sits down with Victor Ramdin to talk about gratitude, online poker’s prospects in New York, the $25k PokerStars Player’s No-Limit Hold’em Championship and a whole lot more.

Do you ever want to jump into someone’s head and see what they see; think what they think; feel what they feel?

I wouldn’t mind spending some time inside the noggin of Victor Ramdin. Born into poverty on a small Guyanese island, Ramdin managed to catch a coveted PokerStars Team Pro patch via a job as a taxi driver and a morgue security guard where he saw first-hand what a bullet does to a man’s head.

He was 21 when he landed in the US with two promises in his back pocket. He was going to make it, and when he did, he was going to help those in Guyana who struggled as he once struggled.
