Ramdin took up poker in 2002 after watching the game played in a bar and was later mentored by professional Phil Ivey. In 2003, one year later, he finished in the money of a World Series of Poker (WSOP) event for the first time in the $2,000 pot limit Texas hold 'em event. He also cashed in the $10,000 no limit hold 'em main event that year, finishing 29th. Later in the year, he finished 3rd at the Showdown at the Sands event won by John Myung. Ramdin finished highly in the main event of the 2004 United States Poker Championship. While he did not cash in during the main event of the following year's USPC, he did receive a signed copy of Barry Greenstein's book "Ace on the River" after eliminating Greenstein from this tournament. Ramdin also finished in the money of the World Poker Tour (WPT) season 3 championship.
