Philip has always been interested in strategy games, and especially poker since Late Night Poker first appeared on British T.V at the turn of the millennium.
Later, around the time the online poker boom started to gain momentum in 2003, he discovered the books of Sklansky and Malmuth, and started reading the forums at www.twoplustwo.com. Philip has played heads-up and six-max online limit hold ’em as his main source of income for the past six years, with lifetime winnings of well over a million dollars.
This book also reflects Philip's academic interests: in 2009 he graduated with a BSc in Economics and Statistics from University College London, and he’s currently studying towards the final level of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) program. He strongly believes that studying a range of outside topics can help improve your poker game.
