Hi.  My Name is Al MacDonald.  I was born and raised in Mississauga Ontario, Canada.  I’ve been self employed since 1990, when I opened my own successful trucking company.  I decided to shut it down, after ten years, when I got married and had a family. Since then, my wife and I work together at home assisting a non-profit missing children’s charity.  Although it can be stressful at times, it's also very rewarding when a child is found safe and returned home to his or her family.

I’ve been playing poker for about 30 years.  When I first start playing; my nick name was “Easy Al.”  That name didn’t sit very well with me and I set my mind to improving my game.  And, that I did !   Instead of playing, I decided to sit back and watch some live high stakes poker and see how these people played.  Over a short period of time, I realized what my faults were and became a better player.  Needless to say, the nick name quickly went away.

I started playing online poker about 4 to 5 years ago.  I’ve had my share of ups and downs as most online players do.  But, I’ve always managed to keep a bank roll without ever having to make a redeposit at any of the sites that I play at.  Since I’ve become a part of Royal Flush Club, my game has, yet again, became much better.

Some of my other favorite past times are:

Playing hockey!  I’ve been a goaltender since I was 10 years old.  I’ve played against several NHL players during my career.   Unfortunately, my career was cut short due to a serious off ice accident.  But I still love to play and watch when possible.

I also enjoy cooking.  In my early years, I was a kitchen manager for a busy restaurant.  I left the restaurant to pursue a better paying career in the trucking industry.  I’m sure my wife loves that fact that “our” kitchen, is my kitchen!

I also love spending summers at our cottage bass fishing.  I think I learned how to fish before I learned how to walk.

Although I love poker, hockey, cooking and fishing, I have to say that my all time favorite is my family and my time spent with them.

Warmest Regards,

Al MacDonald
