Ken Warren learned to play hold’em in Las Vegas and has supported himself almost exclusively through his poker earnings since then. He is an excellent poker tournament player and multiple winner, so good in fact, that the Frontier and Marina poker rooms in Las Vegas asked him not to play in their tournaments in order to give the other players a chance. He is the author of the very successful, Winner’s Guide to Texas Hold’em Poker. A fascinating tidbit of Warren's professional poker career adds to his colorful poker past and professional resume. When the President Casino opened in Biloxi, Mississippi in August, 1992, Warren played in and won the very first hand of legal poker dealt in Mississippi in this century.
