More About Uri Peleg

Uri Peleg is no stranger to expert gaming. In 2007 he became a Magic the Gathering World Champion, and soon after, turned his attention to high-stakes poker.

After registering for his first $100 MTT and battling existing regs, he had an "Aha!" moment when he realized that he possessed an intuitive understanding of how his opponents were approaching the game. Even watching some of the best coaches in the world, he felt he was able to spot and take advantage of mistakes in their otherwise solid games.

Since then, he's proven the value of his personal approach with consistently stellar results in some of the world's toughest online games. What's more, with the advent of modern solvers in recent years, and the availability of advanced computational solutions, Uri's been able to formalize and perfect his exploitative approach, and has successfully taught many others how to put his winning ideas into practice.
