Darvin Moon Biography

Darvin Moon is one of the most popular and richest Poker Player who was born on October 1, 1963 in Oakland, California, United States.

Moon lives in the western Maryland town of Oakland, at the foot of Backbone Mountain. Prior to entering the World Series of Poker, Moon lived in a 14 by 70 feet (4.3 by 21.3 m) trailer with his wife, Wendy. Moon owns and operates a small logging company with other family members. Most of his days were spent in pine forests scattered throughout the Maryland Panhandle. Moon taught himself how to play poker, and he first started playing with his grandfather at a young age. He started playing frequently around 2006 and studied the game by watching televised poker. Moon regularly played home games at such places as fire departments, Elks Lodges and American Legion buildings.

Moon displayed what he described as a humble and self-deprecating manner during the World Series of Poker, repeatedly acknowledging his lack of poker experience throughout the tournament, and often attributing his success to luck and a high number of strong cards, rather than talent. Moon adopted a phrase, “If I win, I win. If I lose, I lose,” which reflected his casual approach to the game. Moon also said one of his philosophies was, “Make the other guy pay to see the cards”, a strategy attributed to many re-raises Moon made during the 2009 World Series of Poker despite weak hands. Moon had almost no experience in heads-up poker, which some commentators said factored into his loss against Cada in the final hours of the 2009 World Series. Many fans and commentators praised his working stiff style, with some dubbing him “Darvin Gump”, a reference to the underdog protagonist of the 1994 drama film, Forrest Gump. Moon has also been nicknamed the “Luddite Logger” because of his distaste for anything technological, including credit cards and online poker. Moon refused to sign a sponsorship deal with an Internet poker company during the 2009 tournament because he said he did not want to answer to anybody. Moon wore a New Orleans Saints hat throughout the tournament because, “I like cheering for the underdog.” Moon was invited to guest at the Saints games for their entire playoff run in 2010, and watched them win Super Bowl XLIV against the Indianapolis Colts in Miami.
