I kicked off my poker career nine years ago when I started as a technologist at SIG. I’m originally from Bangalore, India, and now call the Philly area home. I enjoy trying new things outside of the office; anything from woodworking to Sumo wrestling. I’d say my poker style is...

I’ve been working at SIG as a Business Analyst for just a few months, and I’m excited to take on my first tournament! I grew up playing poker after Sunday dinners at my grandmother’s house, but didn’t learn Hold’em until college. My style is fairly reserved, but I’m willing to...

I work as an Options Sales Trader out of SIG’s Dublin office, right in my hometown. My proper poker experience started when I joined SIG almost five years ago, and I’d describe my style as loose, aggressive, and annoying to play with, as talking a lot is part of my...

I grew up in Saratoga, CA and now work as an Assistant Trader at our Bala office. I’ve been playing poker for three years, but, in retrospect, I had little idea of what I was doing before I came to SIG. I play relatively standard and balanced, but take calculated...

While I’ve only been a casual poker player for the past few years, the first time I played at a casino and won almost €200 I thought, I could really make a living this way (I haven’t won anything since). Luckily, my interest in technology won over, and I’ve been...

I’m originally from Auburn, AL and I started playing in card rooms over 20 years ago. You could classify my style as mathematical and really aggressive. I co-authored The Mathematics...

I grew up in Boston, playing a little bit of poker in college. I’ve been a Trader on the Commodities Options desk at SIG’s Bala office since 2008. I’d call my poker style tight aggressive, and during last year’s tournament, it paid off! I won the 2014 SIG poker tournament...

I started my “poker career” a few years ago thinking I was way better than I actually was. After two years at SIG’s Bala office, one as an AT and one as an Equity Options Trader, I’m hopeful that that gap has gotten a bit smaller. I would like to...

Growing up in Galway, in the west of Ireland, I started playing poker when I was about 10 years old. I’m excited to represent the SIG tournament from our Dublin office, where I’ve been a Trader for eight years. I’d say my poker style is loose aggressive. Playing in the...
