Biography: The Legacy of “KEEFKING420”

Tyler Reiman’s ascent in the poker world began during the mid-2000s online boom. Known online as “KEEFKING420,” he became one of the most feared tournament specialists on PokerStars and Full Tilt, famously shipping the Sunday Million in 2010. His transition to the live felt was immediate; at just 23 years old, his runner-up finish at the PCA, defeating world-class talent like Phil Ivey and Greg Merson in the process, cemented his status as a legitimate high-stakes threat. In 2026, Reiman is recognized as one of the “original gangsters” of the online generation, often cited as an inspiration for many of today’s top American pros for his longevity and early dominance.

Play Style: Aggressive Foundation & Live Reads

Reiman is renowned for a “highly intuitive and balanced” playing style. Having honed his skills in the high-volume environment of early online poker, he possesses a foundational understanding of equity and range construction that has allowed him to adapt across multiple eras. Strategically, Reiman is a proponent of exploitative live play, often relying on his decades of experience to sniff out physical tells and timing-based bluffs. While he respects modern “solver” theory, his 2025 and 2026 results show a player who still relies on the mental fortitude and psychological edges that made him a world #1 during the heyday of the game.
