Meet borntotilt: The Belarusian Poker Pro with a Unique Journey

The poker world knows him as borntotilt, but his real name is Stas. Born and raised in Minsk, Belarus, Stas has been a professional poker player for the past decade.

Stas' journey into poker began at the age of 19. He started playing poker after a friend won $2,000, which inspired him to pursue a career in the game. Initially, he played at the NL25-NL50 limits, but his career took off after a motivational speech to a friend, where he decided to become a professional.

Stas' early days were challenging. He struggled with the gamer mindset, which led to losses. He played in the Ongame network for 3-4 years, where he had both successes and failures. His approach to poker changed after reading an article about rationality and time management, which helped him become more disciplined and focused.
