About Carl
“The Dean” is the nickname for one of the most successful gamblers in Europe. His name is Carl Sampson and Carl has been literally crushing the online cash poker games for the past three years and plays poker professionally online now. It all started back in 1989 for Carl when he became employed as a croupier inside a casino in his home town.
It was here that Carl steadily built up his incredible knowledge of the gaming industry and he later used this knowledge to devastating effect when he successfully set up and trained numerous teams of professional Blackjack and Roulette players that took the gaming industry all across the World for very substantial sums of money.
Carl spent nine relatively unhappy years inside the casino’s but it was a chance meeting in the summer of 1998 that gave “The Dean” the opportunity to play professional blackjack, his first role in the demanding arena of professional gambling. A wealthy backer gave Carl the opportunity to play blackjack on a big scale and to really use his expertise and secrets, and the rest as they say is history.
“The Dean” first arrived at his nickname in a local poker game, every time that someone asked him what the odds were for hitting a certain hand or what to do in a certain situation, Carl was always there with the answer. People started to call him the “Dean of Poker” and because his middle name is James, they then called him “James Dean” after the famous Hollywood actor of that name which later became shortened to just, “The Dean”.

Carl’s schedule is a very hefty one these days and involves playing poker online, coaching and writing for several poker magazines and websites. “The Dean” writes for the official magazine of the televised WORLD POKER TOUR and for BLUFF EUROPE and also for POKER PRO EUROPE. Carl’s love of writing led him to write two highly successful books, one on poker and the other on Blackjack.
“Secrets of Professional Limit Hold’em: Learn how the pro’s think” was Carl’s first book and is an advanced poker book designed to help players to reach professional level in poker. Carl does this by concentrating on one of his specialties, LIMIT TEXAS HOLD’EM.
“The Dean’s” Second book followed shortly after, “Princes of Darkness: The world of high stakes blackjack” tells the story of the blackjack team that Carl set up and ran between 1998 and 2002. “The Dean” first started coaching and imparting what he knew about blackjack and roulette (two highly vulnerable games if you have the proper knowledge) in 1998 and this coaching and consulting work spilled over into poker in 2004.
“The Dean” has also advised on cheating and advantage play with an international film company in 2003 and has also consulted with casinos on cheating and advantage play and is regarded by some as being one of the foremost experts of cheating and advantage play in Europe, if not the World.
“The Dean” can currently be found ghosting in and out of the NO LIMIT TEXAS HOLD’EM cash games online which he crushes on a regular basis. So you can be rest assured that “The Dean” has not only been in the gambling trenches, but has immerged unscathed and victorious on the other side. In a position to tell you EVERYTHING that he knows about Poker, Blackjack and Roulette in order to make you a WINNER. You could not be in better or safer hands than Carl’s.
