The first time Jon “apestyles” Van Fleet played poker with his friends, he thought it was boring. However, his desire to best his friends in the game drove him to keep playing and learn as much as he could. Five years and well over a million dollars in winnings later, his competitive spirit has catapulted him to the top of the online poker world. He has been ranked among the top 100 players on Internet poker rankings site Pocketfives.com. He has multiple high-profile finishes in some of the toughest fields online.
When starting out, Van Fleet played $5 and $10 sit and go tournaments. He became a student of the game, reading everything he could find about poker and poker strategy. This hard work paid off and allowed him to play the largest tournaments online for a living after he graduated from Texas Tech University.
November 2006 brought Van Fleet’s largest online win, second place in the Pokerstars Sunday Million for over $135,000. He dominated the final table, falling behind in heads up play when his pocket Kings were cracked by Queen Ten. Apestyles has won an incredible $1.6 million playing online. He has stated before that he strongly prefers online play to live play, and as a result has played very few live events.
In December 2007, it was announced that Jon Van Fleet was going to co-author a poker strategy book. The book, titled “Winning Poker Tournaments: One Hand at a Time,” is also authored by Jon “Pearljammer” Turner and Eric “Rizen” Lynch. Van Fleet is a guest instructor on PokerXFactor. Members can view the entire animated hand history of his Sunday Million second place finish, a live video of a $163 freezeout, and a multitude of content from various other PXF pros.
