Chuck Clayton

Hi! My name is Chuck Clayton and I created this website to provide the resources to master the math of Texas No-Limit Hold'em.

My primary education and professional experience is in engineering. Much of my career has been as a mechanical design and development engineer. I have also been a principal systems engineer, a principal quality engineer and a 6-Sigma Expert. I have a BSME from Michigan Tech University and an MBA from Pepperdine University.

It isn't a leap to understand how I was drawn to the math of poker because of my engineering and math background. I find it incredibly fascinating and a way of gaining a strong competitive edge at the game.

Sports and games have always been a passion of mine. In the beginning of 2016 I started playing Texas No-Limit Hold’em and gravitated towards the game quickly. The math of the game fascinated me, so I read on it, pulled out a statistics book from my MBA program and learned how many of the probabilities are determined. I did many equations to understand the math at a visceral level.

I initially played free roll tournaments in the Austin, Round Rock and Cedar Park Texas area to learn the game without breaking the bank. I also played at casinos when possible. I am fascinated by the strategy, complexity and fun of the game. I continue to read, study, play and evolve as a player.

My book Mastering Poker Math and Course contain the knowledge, experience and insights into the math and other aspects of Texas No-Limit Hold’em that I have accumulated over time.

I live in Georgetown Texas. Besides playing and studying Texas No-Limit Hold’em I enjoy dancing Argentine Tango, exercising, writing, studying the early space program, traveling and visiting with family & friends.
