The Poker Verdict Team

Poker is more than just a hobby for the guys behind Poker Verdict - it's an obsession, a lifestyle, an all-consuming passion. For us poker is not a one-night stand, played out on a Friday two or three times a year - it's a love affair that will last a lifetime.

What's more this is not a case of unrequited love. We love poker and poker certainly loves us back as with each passing year, our sharpened skills are bringing greater recognition and increased financial reward.

That's not to say that we are one-dimensional. We have other interests as well. In fact none of us are professional poker players. We balance our ongoing poker education with demanding full-time jobs, family needs, active social lives and other pursuits.

So who are we? We are the Judge's Panel, the voice behind the site, the people who bring you the Verdict on all things Poker...
