Scott Fischman Bio

Scott was born in Pennsylvania but was raised throughout his early childhood in Somers Point, New Jersey. But when he was 12 years old, their family moved into Las Vegas.

Information about his early life and educational background has not been revealed. We can all guess how much Scott enjoys his privacy.

But what we do know is that he got exposed to poker during his teenage years with the encouragement of his friend from school. Since then, he has been fascinated with the game, and that led him to pursue a professional career in the field.

Poker Career

Though he played poker at a young age, being a pro player was not his original intention.

Instead, he worked as a poker dealer at the Sahara and The Mirage casino. He was doing that for around 2 years until he had to quit because of his rheumatoid arthritis. Since the job mostly requires standing for long hours, he had no choice but to stop.

Because of the incident, he decided to focus his energy on becoming the best poker player, and now, he has certainly become one of the bests in the industry. He began honing his skills by playing in online poker tables, but eventually went for live tournaments as well.

He became a member of a group called “The Crew” in 2003. He was in it together with Dutch Boyd, another pro player and many others. But now, he is no longer part of this team.

For a short span of two years playing on the felt as a pro, he got his back to back WSOP bracelets for the $1,500 NLHE and H.O.R.S.E. That was way back in 2004. In the same year, he also won WPT Young Guns of Poker Invitational event. He went head to head with Joe Cassidy and eventually emerged as the victor.

In 2007, he placed 8th during the Five-Star World Poker Classic under WPT and won almost $250,000.

Over his poker lifetime, Scott has played with guys like Barry Greenstein, Alec Torelli, Sam Trickett, Jan Veit, Johannes Nord Jorgensen, and even a and football legend Teddy Sheringham.

Scott as an Author

For those of you who didn’t know yet, Fischman has authored one book where he talks about poker and some winning strategies.

The book is entitled “Online Ace: A World Series Of Poker Champion’s Guide to Mastering Internet Poker“. Since he was more of an online gamer than a live tourney fanatic, this topic wasn’t the least bit surprising.

This is more of an instructional book to guide aspiring online poker players in mastering the skill.

If you ask pro players, they will probably tell you it’s harder to play online since you can’t see your opponent’s reactions which might give away their hands, but Scott will let you in some secrets to combat that. It’s actually a great book to learn anything you need to know about playing poker on the Internet.
