Biography & Poker Background
Born in 1987, Ludovic Geilich grew up in Glasgow with a natural talent for games of skill. Before he ever picked up a deck of cards, he was a highly skilled snooker player, a game he says helped him develop the discipline and concentration he uses at the poker table today. He first discovered poker in local card rooms around Scotland and quickly realized that his aggressive instincts were a perfect fit for the game. Known affectionately as “Ludo,” he is proud of his Scottish roots and currently sits 2nd on Scotland’s all time money list. His journey from local games in Glasgow to competing in $100,000 buy in events in Cyprus and Macau is a testament to his drive and love for the grind.
Play Style & Strategy
Geilich is famous for an unpredictable and hyper-aggressive style of play. He is a master of applying pressure, often forcing his opponents to play for their entire stacks in spots where they feel most uncomfortable. Coming from a background in Pot Limit Omaha, he has a great sense of hand equity and isn’t afraid of the big swings that come with high stakes poker. At the table, he is often talkative and engaging, using his personality to gather information and keep the atmosphere lively. He relies heavily on his instincts and his ability to read his opponents’ level of confidence, which allows him to pull off bluffs that many other players wouldn’t even consider.

Video Highlights:
My relationship with cards started thanks to my father. I was still in elementary school when he first taught me how to play Rummy, and I still remember the long evenings spent playing cards with my family. During the poker boom, I was still underage, but the televised tournaments immediately captured my attention. I became fascinated with the game and started learning different poker formats whenever I had the chance. Later in life, as an adult, I was fortunate enough to spend four years playing poker professionally. During that time, I mainly focused on Heads-Up Sit and Go games, where I found the format that suited me best. Even though my professional career was relatively short, poker remains something I’m grateful to have experienced as a major part of my life. Today, I play mostly as a hobby, while writing has become my main focus. That said, my enthusiasm for writing about poker is just as strong as my passion for playing the game once was.
