Carl Carlson (known online as givememyleg) has been playing poker since 2004, starting after the Moneymaker boom. Without many options to play poker around his hometown, he quickly turned to online poker and started grinding out profit playing small stakes on Party Poker. Carl found FTR in November of 2005, which lead him to start bonus whoring and discussing strategy within the forum. For the next few years, he would continue to grind poker off and on, always turning a profit up to $200 NL. In 2009, Carl started focusing more of his efforts into the business side of the industry and becoming more involved behind the scenes at FTR. Carl still plays poker as a hobby and is involved in the day to day efforts at Flop Turn River. Outside of poker, Carl is happily married, has a 7 month old son and a high maintenance cat.
