After a couple of $50 investments, Dan ‘DJ Sensei’ Morris decided that if he was going to give online poker a serious go he would have to put in some work away from the tables, and started by purchasing a couple of poker books and becoming a frequent visitor of the 2+2 poker forums. After another $100 deposit DJ Sensei has been a consistent winner at the online poker tables, so much so that after graduating from Duke University in 2006 he decided that poker was a better option than putting his Engineering degree to work!

Morris a self-described “math nerd” was born in Jacksonville, Florida on April 23, 1984, and shortly after graduating from Duke University, and building his bankroll, Morris decided to move to San Francisco, California where he still resides.

Morris began his poker career as a No Limit Holdem cash-game player, eventually branching out into a number of other poker disciplines including 2-7 Triple Draw and PLO; Morris is now one of the most well-rounded poker players and spends a majority of his time teaching students the intricacies of NLHE, PLO and mixed poker games. Morris currently plays anywhere from $5/$10 to $25/$50 online, with the majority of his coaching taking place in the $2/$4 to $5/$10 range

Morris is an Executive Producer at Deuces Cracked, and in his 2+ years as DC poker coach DJ Sensei has produced over 125 poker training videos up to this point for the site. Morris also creates quite a bit of written content for the site, where he talks about virtually anything poker from strategy, to trip reports, to goals on his blog.

Although mainly an online poker cash-game player, DJ Sensei does dabble in tournaments, both live and online, and has cashed in the World Series of Poker (WSOP), on the World Poker Tour (WPT), and on the European Poker Tour (EPT).

On his Deuces Cracked bio page Morris details a particularly amusing incident involving fellow DC coach Dani “Ansky” Stern where the two of them were unknowingly involved in a hand together, and after the hand both players posted the hand from their own perspective on the 2+2 poker forums at virtually the same time! As Morris recalls:

“I was playing 10/20 NL on Party against Krantz (but he didn’t know it was me at the time). We were 4k deep, and after overcalling a raise preflop with QJ from the blinds, I led into both of them on a Q72 monotone flop (I had the J of that suit). The raiser folded and Krantz called. The turn was a blank, and I led into him again, and again he just called. The river blanked one more time, and I checkraised him all-in. He folded what turned out to be a set, and both of us posted the hand on 2+2 at the same time from our own perspectives, which led to hilarity”
