Editor's Note: PokerNews caught up with Erik Audé at the 2012 World Series of Poker. His tale of survival and learning the game is quite unique to the poker world. We caught back up with him for a more detailed account from his time in a prison in Pakistan to competitive poker to his work as an actor and stuntman.
Most poker players have a pretty standard tale about how they started playing. Maybe their father taught them as they sat around the kitchen table playing for nickels.
