Keitel has focused over the years on online cash games, not tournaments. His breakout year in poker was 2009 when he put in big volume and won over $800,000. He continued to play the large NLHE games on Stars and Full Tilt winning another $1.2 million over parts of 2010 and 2011. He plays as high as $300/$600 but more regularly plays $50/$100 or $100/$200 with impressive results over 100,000 hands of winning around 10 BB/100. Keitel was born in Germany October 17, 1984 and currently spends time in both Germany and Austria.
