James Wilson

James first learned the ropes playing low-stakes Hold’em at the Playground poker club in Montreal, and, by his own admission, has probably chased draws (and missed) in just about every cardroom across Canada. Over more than two decades of live play, he’s seen the full spectrum of poker: the quiet regulars, the reckless maniacs, and now, the endless wave of insufferable math nerds spouting off about game theory (sorry, Alex). His experience taught him a lesson you can’t learn with solvers or fancy equations: math matters, but people matter more. Reading opponents, adapting to shifting table dynamics, and staying disciplined will always be what separates long-term winners from short-term flashes in the pan. James has long supplemented his poker winnings by writing about the game, leading him to join Pokerology as a full-time casino writer in 2023. He brings that same real-world experience and critical eye to his online casino reviews. He focuses on fairness, transparency, and trust, guiding readers toward sites that do things the right way (and steering them away from those that don’t). His insights have been featured in just about every poker publication on the planet, including CardPlayer Lifestyle and PokerFuse. While Alex might be the team’s math guy, James prides himself on being the voice of live-table wisdom, and he’s quick to point out that his lifetime winnings still edge out Alex’s. The only GTO he’s ever cared about, however, was made by Pontiac.
