He is One-Fourth of the Mob

No, I am not going to talk about the interesting figures of the underworld, I mean the Hendon Mob, that famous entity made up of four individuals. Well, one pro poker by the name of Joe Beevers is one of the 4, those four. Beever is a constant presence in major poker competitions all over the face of the globe.

If you are interested in personal things about him, let me satisfy your hunger. He grew up with his father, and both of them competed in the blackjack wars of the London sites. This tandem won so many times, and so consistently, that they got the ire of some casino owners, forcing the latter to impose a ban, a ban on the father and son's presence. Oh well, it is no different if we compare the travails being experienced by this generations' card-counters, and I mean the exceptional card counters.

I've heard people call him self-effacing, and while I do not know him personally, I know of him, I cannot say that that's the term I would use. However, when I hear peole saying that he is very good in setting traps, there, I won't argue on that score.

This person knows his poker, better than some arrogant pros out there who speak as though he were the reincarnation of Ungar.
