word type: person
- A former Wall Street analyst and trader who has numerous accomplishments in poker tournaments.
Pronounced Like 'Glaring'
Alan Goehring is known for pioneering a unique style of tournament poker that included minraising before min-raising was fashionable and griping about tournament structure before that was fashionable.
Among his credits in tournament poker are a runner-up finish at the WSOP Main Event in 1999 and winning the first ever $25K WPT championship in 2003.
As of early 2009, his gross tournament receipts top $5M, which is doubly impressive in relation to the relatively low volume of tournaments that he plays.
