Biography & Poker Background
Born in 1999, Landon Tice grew up in Florida and discovered poker at a time when the game was becoming more academic and technical. He didn’t start in the backrooms of casinos; instead, he began by grinding micro-stakes cash games online and studying the game using advanced software. His progress was incredibly fast, thanks in part to his connections with mentors like Joey Ingram and the team at the Solve For Why academy. In 2021, he moved to Las Vegas to pursue poker full-time and famously took on a high-profile heads-up challenge against Bill Perkins. While he is still one of the youngest players at the high-stakes tables, his maturity and willingness to learn have earned him the respect of the biggest names in the industry.
Play Style & Strategy
Tice is the definition of a modern, GTO-focused player. His strategy is built on a foundation of “Game Theory Optimal” play, meaning he tries to make moves that are mathematically perfect and impossible to exploit. He spent years studying solvers to understand exactly how to balance his betting ranges in every situation. At the table, he is known for being highly focused and energetic, often seen wearing headphones and staying locked into the action. Despite his technical approach, he is also very vocal about the mental game, stressing the importance of volume and staying humble. He isn’t afraid to play big pots against legendary pros, often using his aggressive image to force his opponents into making difficult, high-pressure decisions.
