Although many poker players try to maintain their anonymity, they invariably fail, especially if they are excellent players that have outstanding results, this was also the case with Kuznetsov.

He had kept his identity as Trueteller under wraps for much of his career until early that he let slip who he was. After his online poker battles against Cates, and despite him losing, Kuznetsov had made his mark on the world of poker and is ever since considered to be a poker genius. His identity was still unknown. Born in Russia in , Kuznetsov discovered poker while living in Moscow.

He started off by playing with his friends and was a losing player initially. However, once Timofey realised the amount of study necessary to start winning, Timofey began to put in the work.

Quickly rising from that initial slump, he began to enjoy the game immensely. Trueteller began to think about the game at a deeper level than most players ever reach, analysing every action both he and his opponents took at the table.

One of the screen names that wasn't figured out for quite some time was "Trueteller". The Russian player was a force to be reckoned with, regarded one of the best by many, without anyone knowing who the player behind the account was.

Mike McDonald jokingly wondered if it was Robert Williamson III at one point, just about the last player in the world people thought it could be. I think I can handle it really well compared to other players. Eventually, Timofey Kuznetsov was revealed as the talented player. There are only so many players who can buy into Super High Rollers and play extremely well, so when the young Russian Kuznetsov entered the live scene, the world found out.

Still, interviews he didn't really do much. He was talkative enough at the table to other players, but talking to the media wasn't something he did just yet.

Or maybe nobody asked him, also a possibility. Paul Phua and his team did interview Kuznetsov, the first video interview in English with Kuznetsov as far as we know. As I became more social and emotional, I started to feel more, and realised for the first time what tilt was.

It hurt. I needed to find big action, and nobody was willing to play big. If you want proof that Kuznetsov learned and earned plenty in Macau, then have a listen to this little tale. After some time playing live, Kuznetsov had the idea to compete with Phil Ivey in a mixed game match. Rakhimov remembers that the game never seemed to end with the pair competing for hours straight , and then back on it after a few hours of sleep. After months of fighting, and with Kuznetsov leading, the game came to an end.

Timofey had no experience in those games at all! I was always cosy and overconfident, and he humbled me. Despite how incredibly tough he is as a player, his kindness, intelligence, and sense of humour make him a pleasure to have at the table. Skip to content. I had missed a crucial zero. The University Years The eldest of three children all born within nine years, Kuznetsov left his home city, moving to Moscow aged 17, to study mathematics and applied theory of probabilities at Moscow State University.
