Scott Seiver: From College Poker to High-Stakes Pro

Scott Seiver, a renowned poker player, began his poker journey in 2006 by playing tournaments. By the end of 2007, he transitioned to cash games, quickly moving up the limits. Seiver attributes his success to a fundamental understanding of poker and the ability to analyze his sessions and understand his mistakes.

Seiver played most of his cash games on Full Tilt and learned poker from Isaac Haxton, a fellow student at his university. He studied computer science and economics at Brown University, and briefly worked at Lehman Brothers before becoming a professional poker player.

Seiver believes that many players underestimated the dispersion in poker and the required depth of bankroll. He considers Victor Bloom one of the best players in no-limit hold'em and found Sauce to be one of the most challenging opponents due to his balanced play style.
