RecPoker | Ep 240 – Duncan Palamourdas

By Steve Fredlund
January 31, 2021

Duncan Palamourdas specializes in the mathematics of poker and poker education. His poker classes at UCLA always fill up early and have long waiting lists. He is also an author at Upswing Poker, PokerNews, Card Player  and the Winning Poker Network. Despite his impressive academic credentials, Duncan’s popularity is a product of his love for simple language and metaphors. Profitable poker play essentially revolves around correct risk/reward optimization. This is a complex topic and Duncan’s great strength is that he explains it in simple terms without resorting to technical jargon. He is the author of “Why Alex beats Bobbie at Poker: Developing a Fundamentally Sound Approach to Poker”. You can connect with Duncan on Twitter at @askthemathdr or through his website askthemathdr.com
