Alex Curtis

Despite graduating with a math degree from UNLV in 2011, Alex never gambled until he left Las Vegas. He was introduced to poker while working as a freelance entertainment reporter in Los Angeles; while doing a profile of a well-known comedian, he followed the star into the Commerce Casino and quickly became more interested in the cards than the comic. For Alex, poker and casino games are giant puzzles waiting to be solved. Armed with his mathematical background, he applies game-theory optimal (GTO) analysis and probability modeling to uncover small but meaningful edges. His mission is to translate all that complex math into practical, easy-to-use strategies that help regular players make smarter choices at the table. Alex has brought that same analytical mindset to his online casino coverage since joining Pokerology in 2022. Whether inspecting return-to-player stats or calculating the actual value of welcome bonuses, he prioritizes transparency and fairness over cheap promises. His reviews are rooted in data, not hype. His work has been featured in publications like PokerFuse and CardPlayer Lifestyle for his insights into poker analytics and casino game theory. When he’s not writing for Pokerology, Alex is usually live-streaming games from Hustler Casino while offering running commentary, crunching numbers mid-hand, and critiquing moves made by players far more skilled than he is.
