Default which poker pro is the most educated ?

Chris Ferguson has a PhD in computer science UCLA but it took him 20 years.

Bill Chen has a PhD in mathematics from UCB (I think).

Barray Greenstein is a PhD candidate in mathematics at University of Illinois (not sure how he's doing on that one).

David Sklansky spent a year at Wharton but dropped out.

Mason Malmuth has a masters in math.

Mike Caro, not sure.

Greg Raymer has a JD.

Huck Seed dropped out of Cal Tech engineering bachelors.

Vanessa Rousso went to Duke where she studied game theory and maybe is trying to finish law school but maybe dropped out.

Without looking it up, I'm quite sure Rousso finished law school at Miami. Then there's Annie Duke who finished all of her Linguistics PhD but the dissertation, and who seems--sorry--so much less intelligent than other PhD candidates I've known. PhD students in linguistics shouldn't use incorrect grammar, in my opinion.

Also, OP didn't mention the many MIT dignitaries.

Well if you are including VR as a poker pro, I think Andy Blcoh has 2 community college degrees.

Yeah, Bloch has both a B.S. degree from MIT and a J.D. from some other big-name school.

Bill Chen PhD math UCB in 7 years is tops for me so far.

But check out Raymer : B.S. Chemistry – University of Missouri, M.S. Biochemistry – University of Minnesota, J.D. – University of Minnesota
