Richard Braun

Richard Braun is an American professional poker player primarily active in online high-stakes cash games. Known for his aggressive and assertive style, he has accumulated substantial profits on platforms such as Full Tilt Poker. Although his live tournament experience is limited, he has cashed multiple times in events like the WSOP.

Braun's career revolves around online high-stakes tables. He excels in both deep-stacked heads-up and multi-way pots, regarded as one of the top online cash game players. In live settings, he holds multiple WSOP Main Event cashes, though public records do not disclose specific finishes or prize amounts.

Braun employs a loose-aggressive (LAG) style, frequently applying post-flop pressure by leveraging position and opponent weaknesses. He tends to apply maximum pressure in deep-stacked situations, possesses a deep understanding of range balancing, and adapts his strategy effectively against different opponent types.

In the online poker community, Braun is often labeled a "king of online high-stakes tables." His online alias 'kennl' has become synonymous with top-tier profitable players. He dominated Full Tilt Poker's super high-stakes games (e.g., $200/$400) for extended periods, but rarely makes public appearances or gives interviews.

Braun's success underscores the importance of bankroll management, emotional control, and flexible adaptation to varying table dynamics. His style inspires many online players: in deep-stacked cash games, reading opponent ranges and applying sustained pressure outweigh raw hand strength.
