PSPC 2020: Daryl Inglis might need a bigger jar

After serving 20 years in the Canadian military, including deployments to Bosnia and Afghanistan, 39-year-old Daryl Inglis received a medical discharge in 2015.
He turned to skiing, surfing, kayaking and mountain biking to occupy his time, but now aged 43, he felt something was missing. It turned out that poker, a game he’d been introduced to some nine years ago, was the perfect outlet.
“About 15 years into my military career some friends invited me to play a $20 tournament, and I busted first,” Inglis tells PokerStars Blog the morning after winning a Platinum Pass to the PokerStars Players No Limit Hold’em Championship (PSPC) 2020 worth €26,466 (we’ll get to that in a moment).
“I went back the next week, and busted first again. This happened for about a month, so I told myself I have to get better,” he continues. “I set up a PokerStars account, but I’ve been a losing player online, down about $800 over eight years. But when it came to live poker, I decided to put $40 in a jar and said ‘this is only for poker’. I use it to buy-in, and whatever I win goes back in. Six weeks later I had $1,000, so that showed me I was making good decisions.”
