Andy Bloch is a full member of Team Full Tilt and is a very successful blackjack and poker player.  Bloch’s gambling career began when he was a member of the MIT blackjack team while earning two electrical engineering degrees.  After graduating Bloch continued to play blackjack with the MIT team on weekends and worked designing poker chips during the week.  Bloch decided this job wasn’t for him and began his life as a professional gambler.

Andy first played in a WSOP event in 1997, when he was the guinea pig for a hole card cam experiment in the ’97 main event.  Four years later Bloch was back and this time he was playing for himself.  He made two WSOP final tables in ’01 and continued his success in ’02 by placing 3rd in two World Poker Tour events.  Bloch’s biggest cash to date came in 2006 when he finished second to Chip Reese in the first $50K HORSE tournament at the WSOP.  In recent years Bloch has continued to prove he has what it takes to succeed with another bracelet win at the ’08 WSOP and a runner up finish in NBC’s televised Heads Up Championship that same year.

Bloch considers himself more of a math guy than a law guy and he uses this proficiency to succeed in the world of gambling.  Bloch can pretty much learn any game and after a little bit of practice he will have applied his knowledge of math and game theory and be able to get an edge on the competition.  Bloch has had a lot of success in not only poker, but also in blackjack and also roshambo, which is also known as rock, paper, scissors.

You can find Bloch playing in most of the bigger tournaments online at Full Tilt Poker and if you lose to him, don’t feel too bad because your money is going to a good cause.  Bloch has pledged to give all of his online poker winnings to deserving charities.
