The love for poker got intense with each passing day and the mind sport became a hardcore thing in his life. Poker became so crucial to Kenney that his mother was reportedly convinced about him turning into a gambler. But the fact that Kenney’s photographic memory was a big weapon in his armoury got side-tracked in a family tussle about gambling which was just him playing poker.

It was widely reported that the 36-year-old’s mother helped him further sharpen his photographic memory which in turn aided Kenney in his poker adventures. He told CardPlayer’s Julio Rodriguez, “I started playing six-max Sit & Gos with my friends in my grandfather’s backyard for like $20 apiece. When I was 17, I started playing online under an account I made with my mom’s name (Carol), then when I turned 18, I created the account that I have today. I would wake up, immediately go to the computer, play all day and night, eat horrendous garbage for food and then do it all again the next day. I did that for about a year straight. I got pretty good at poker, but it obviously wasn’t the healthiest lifestyle.”
