Justin "Boosted J" Smith is an American high stakes poker player living in Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA. Smith began playing poker at the age of 17, after needing a wheelchair for several weeks which had caused him to lose his part-time job. A friend gave him some lessons on Texas Hold'Em, and Smith began his online poker career with a bankroll of $50. Though his young age had prevented him from racking up a long list of tournament victories, Smith experienced substantial success in high-stakes short-handed ring games at levels up to $2,000/$4,000 and $4,000/$8,000
