About Grass Roots Poker
The story behind the community
Founded by Craig Rose, a passionate poker player with over 15 years of experience at the tables, Grass Roots Poker was built from a love of the game and the belief that poker success doesn't have to start with high stakes.
At 36, Craig spent years playing and studying the game, specialising in low to medium buy-in tournaments across the globe. His journey has taken him to poker rooms and tournaments in various countries, proving that dedication, strategy, and smart bankroll management can open doors for anyone.
Grass Roots Poker was created to showcase the real value and excitement found in smaller buy-in events — where everyday players can win big and find real value for their money. Through engaging social media content, the aim is to highlight opportunities, share insights, and inspire others to take their shot.
The vision for Grass Roots Poker is to provide a platform for other poker players to share their experiences, stories, and passion for the game we all love. It's about building a genuine community that celebrates the grind, the learning, and the moments that make poker special.
Grass Roots Poker also serves as a stepping stone for aspiring players — helping them build confidence, community, and visibility. Alongside this mission, a dedicated poker clothing brand has now been developed: Poker Beast, designed to represent the spirit of grassroots players and proudly worn by poker fans around the world.
“Grass Roots Poker isn't just about cards and chips — it's about growing the game from the ground up and building a community of like-minded people playing the game we all love.”
