Liam Carter

Liam Carter has logged more hours at his second job than most people do in their first one — and he wouldn’t have it any other way. Cutting his teeth in the smoky backrooms of Australia’s underground card scene around the same time Devilfish Ulliott became a D-list celebrity, Liam started out grinding low-stakes Texas Hold’em in small Melbourne casinos before taking his game on the road across the country. With over two decades of live play behind him, Liam has encountered it all: angle shooters, ratholers, chip dumpers, and more. This has taught him the importance of staying vigilant whenever real money is at stake, which is why he takes it so personally when he sees a casino trying to pull a fast one on their customers. Today he’s a regular at live MTTs across Australia and coaches several up-and-coming players in both hold ‘em and PLO. Besides Pokerology, which he joined in 2023, his work has appeared in magazines like Pokernews, and he’s a regular and respected contributor to several online poker forums. Liam’s mission is to share the hard-earned lessons of a lifelong player, helping readers avoid the same rookie mistakes he made along the way. He’ll also happily remind you that his tourney cashes leave Alex’s in the dust, but don’t expect him to tell you his cash game results for free. After all, if there’s one thing he believes above all, it’s that you always have to pay to find out at the poker table.
