More about Ashley Adams

A self-described “poker adventurer” and poker personality, Ashley Adams has been playing poker for 40 years and has played the game in almost all of the 50 United States as well as many other places around the world.

After learning poker from his grandfather, Ashley played recreationally in high school and college before cracking a poker book and hitting the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut just after the poker room opened in 1995. He focused first on 7 Card Stud, and then literally wrote the book on it in 2003 called Winning 7-Card Stud: Transforming Home Poker Chumps into Casino Killers.

Since then Ashley Adams wrote a book for Hold ‘Em low buy-in players, and he is a frequent contributor to Poker Player Newspaper and Poker News. On top of that Ashley broadcasts his poker talk radio show, House of Cards, on eight different terrestrial radio affiliates. After his broadcasts, he makes them available as podcasts.
