Biography & Poker Background
Trong Quyet Nguyen is part of the new wave of poker players coming out of Vietnam. He began making a name for himself in the live scene around 2021 and has since become a regular fixture at major stops in Hanoi. Before focusing on live tournaments, like many modern players, he spent time honing his skills in local games where he developed the patience needed for long tournament grinds.
Play Style & Strategy
Trong Quyet Nguyen is known for his disciplined and patient style of play.

This approach allows him to survive the early stages of tournaments and capitalize on the mistakes of more aggressive players as the blinds increase.
My relationship with cards started thanks to my father. I was still in elementary school when he first taught me how to play Rummy, and I still remember the long evenings spent playing cards with my family. During the poker boom, I was still underage, but the televised tournaments immediately captured my attention. I became fascinated with the game and started learning different poker formats whenever I had the chance. Later in life, as an adult, I was fortunate enough to spend four years playing poker professionally. During that time, I mainly focused on Heads-Up Sit and Go games, where I found the format that suited me best. Even though my professional career was relatively short, poker remains something I’m grateful to have experienced as a major part of my life. Today, I play mostly as a hobby, while writing has become my main focus. That said, my enthusiasm for writing about poker is just as strong as my passion for playing the game once was.
