Eric Baldwin, aka basebaldy, lives in the Wisconsin
college town of Madison, also the hometown of Phil
Hellmuth jr. Hellmuth moved west to Palo Alto, Ca, to
avoid the extreme winters giving Baldwin the bragging
rights of being the best Madison based player.
Eric did attend college studying psychology and maths; perfect for his current poker career.
Eric has six WSOP cashes in his three years of playing
at the Rio. His biggest win live was at the Bellagio in
April 2008 when he won the $2500 buy in NLHE event for
a payday of nearly $149k.
Online Eric, playing as basebaldy, has won a 546 player
$163 buy in tournament on Full Tilt in April for $20475.
Just before the WSOP Eric won $30k for his second place
in a PokerStars’ 450 player $100 buy in.
In 2007, OfficialpokerRankings had basebaldy ranked #34.
They also state that Eric’s average buy in is $345 in
tournaments averaging 1889 players. Eric’s return on
investment is 29%.
Eric won two $100k guarantee tournaments on Bodog in
May 2008.
Live he doesn’t come close to imitating Hellmuth jr
with his quiet polite table image.
His online name derives from his passion for baseball.
As far as I can tell he isn’t bald, yet.
