Benton has been a Professional Poker Player for the last seven years, spending most of his time playing in Las Vegas and Biloxi, Mississippi.

While his strongest level of expertise lies in No Limit Holdem, he still crushes mix and PLO games on a regular basis.
Benton will be contributing a wealth of poker knowledge and insight to the AVP community as our Resident Pro.

According to AVP’s President and WSOP Bracelet Winner, Jon Friedberg, “I couldn’t be more excited about Benton joining the AVP team. He is not only a very close friend of mine, but I consider him to be one of the greatest poker minds I know. He is one of my own mentors who I have learned more about poker from than any other pro I’ve worked with. He not only understands the game better than most big-name pros, but is exceptionally strong at communicating his knowledge and thought process. Benton is a gentleman on and off the tables, and I am excited about fellow AVPers benefiting from his new presence on our site.”
You can learn more about Benton by reading his bio and introductory Blog post HERE, where he will be available to address any of your questions.
We encourage you to say hello to Benton (“BentonBlakeman”) and welcome him to AVP…but don’t stop there! Post your questions for him in the Strategy Forums and be on the lookout for his upcoming articles and blogs.
Once again, thank you all for following in my adventures these past years. I truly hope to see all of you on AVP.
See you on the felt and on the forums at AVP.
Best wishes,
Benton
