After introducing its Team Online roster back in late July of 2024, ACR Poker has added a new face to the group. Conor O'Driscoll, an Irish professional player and streamer, is the latest addition to an already impressive collection of content creator-poker player hybrids.
Conor O'Driscoll joins ACR Team Online. O'Driscoll found poker during his high school years, playing with friends in small home games. While attending university, he doubled down on his interest in the game, playing extensively before graduating and entering into his first backing deal. Over the next few years, O'Driscoll wound up six figures in makeup, but thanks to BBZ Coaching, he was able to clear the debt. In 2020, he won over $350,000 to get out of his makeup and, with the leftover profit, set off to play on his own dime.
During lockdown, O'Driscoll started streaming his gameplay, and his channel has steadily grown since.
PokerOrg reached out to the Irishman to learn a little more about the latest addition to ACR Poker's Team Online.
What does becoming part of ACR Poker's Team Online mean to you?
Joining one of the biggest brands in poker is a huge step in my career as a poker player, it's everyone's dream to be a sponsored player and I have just realized mine.
Has this been a goal that you've actively pursued?
Yes, I have been looking for the perfect fit for a while now when it comes to helping each other.
Do you have any plans for live stops this year?
I plan to stream a lot. My first live stop will be the Irish Open in April, although I may change my mind.
What sets your streaming environment/community apart from other poker streamers?
Making a good play or getting a bluff through in a big spot really excites me, so I do it a lot – maybe too much.
Can you tell us a little about how poker came into your life?
I started playing small games with friends, which is pretty unique, right? Nobody else starts that way? Then I just fell in love with the game, played through university, and didn't get a job once I graduated.
Aside from yourself, which member of ACR Poker's Team Online do you think has the most entertaining streams?
Weazel [Mark Rubbathan]... I love how he is just himself, no filter. I feel I am similar in that way.
Do you have a favorite memory from your poker streaming career?
Joining ACR Poker Team Online is my favorite memory to date! I am so excited.
