Neil is the co-founder of Black Belt Poker. One of the most well-known faces on the UK poker scene, he was the Irish Open Champion in 2008 and has cashed in no fewer than 14 WSOP events in the last two years. A regular Bluff Europe columnist, commentator on various TV poker shows and stalwart of the big game at the Vic, Neil is approachable and happy to help, and has an almost unrivalled knowledge of the live game.

Alex Rousso is a Unibet sponsored pro. He has a PhD in evolutionary psychology, and taught university undergraduates along the way to make ends meet. He then joined the family business importing pickles, but in his spare time managed to spin an initial $300 online poker investment into $50k. Now the head tutor for Bluff Europe Poker Academy and a columnist for Bluff Europe (as "Pickleman"), he makes more money from poker than pickles. He can be found most days playing the PLO cash tables at Unibet.com.

Nik is the co-founder of Black Belt Poker. A professional online player and regular on the UK live circuit, he has a top 20 all time GUKPT ranking and has cashed twice in the WSOP main Event. Has been involved for many years in seminars, lectures and workshops and is engaging and articulate. One of the most experienced poker teachers around.

Jeff has been a UK sponsored pro for many years and is currently with Gcasino. He’s cashed for over a quarter of a million dollars in each of the last four years, including being World Heads Up Champion in Barcelona in 2007 and narrowly missing out on a $2500 PLO bracelet in 2009. He’s a mainstay of the UK live circuit (with a GUKPT win at Walsall in 2008) and is one of the most affable players on the tour.

Stuart is a Cambridge maths graduate who has impressively applied his number crunching skills at the online poker tables, becoming one of the most prolific mid/high stakes cash game players on Blue Square Poker. He is also a successful regular on the live tournament circuit, making the Final Table of both 2008 and 2009 GUKPT Grand Finals. He still offers private mathematics tuition in his spare time and is looking forward to turning his hand to poker theory at the GUKPT Academy.
