Poker career
Sulsky started playing online freeroll tournaments never depositing any money when he first started playing. He built up a bankroll of $3000 and proceeded to lose $1200 in one night. He cashed out the rest and did not play poker for two years. He returned with a $1000 deposit, which he lost. He deposited another $1000 and started playing $0.10/$0.25 with bankroll management rules of 25-30 buy-ins. Sulsky never went broke and never looked back.
By 2012, he was considered one of the best players in the world at NLHE and PLO. He described having trouble finding action as other players refused to play him. He defeated Phil Galfond at the 2013 World Series of Poker $10,000 No Limit Hold'em heads-up event finishing 4th for $110,485. He is currently an instructor for Galfond's website Run It Once.
In 2013, Sulsky played fellow professional poker player Doug Polk in a highly publicized match of 15,000 hands in heads up No-Limit hold 'em and was defeated for $740,000. Polk also received an additional $100,000 bonus for his victory.
Sulsky is considered an online cash game specialist rarely playing live tournaments. Sulsky has won over $4,800,000 on his PokerStars account, Sauce123, but is down over $400,000 on his Full Tilt account, Sauce1234. He formerly played as PrtectYaNeck on Full Tilt earning over $500,000.
