Andy Glazer

Andrew N.S. ("Andy") Glazer was the weekly gambling columnist for the Detroit Free Press, the author of Casino Gambling the Smart Way, and was the online guide for poker information site for which he wrote many World Series of Poker tournament reports. Andy was generally considered to be the finest tournament reporter of his generation, and has written on a regular basis for both Card Player and Poker Digest magazines.

Andy was also a world class poker player, with many small tournament wins, two finishes in the money at the Tournament of Champions, and (as he put it) "an annoying number of final table finishes in big tournaments." Andy was annoyed because once he gets to the final table, he wants to win.

Andy has also written for almost every gambling magazine and website of consequence, and was called "a poker scholar" in the May 17, 1999 issue of Newsweek Magazine.

These accomplishments aside, what made PokerSchool Online so excited about adding Andy to the school was that he is not merely an outstanding player and writer, but also a proven teacher, having taught at Emory Law School, the Georgia State University School of Business Administration, the National Center for Paralegal Training, and the National Center for Educational Testing, where he taught courses in subjects like SAT, LSAT, GMAT, and GRE preparation.

"One of my earliest teachers told me that if you couldn't explain a concept, you didn't understand it," Andy says, "and so I always tried to learn that way. I think I became a good teacher as a result."

Andy also practiced law, was the COO of a very successful division of a now public company, was a professional backgammon player, a chef, and a masseur. "I like learning new skills," Andy said. "So I've never been afraid to take on new kinds of challenges. I think that interest in learning has helped me rise fairly quickly in the professional poker ranks."

Andy got his undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan and his law degree at Emory University. He claimed to be working diligently on a postgraduate degree in the "School of Hard Knocks."

The Poker World mourns the death of Andrew N.S Glazer, "The Poker Pundit".

The Poker World mourns the death of Andrew N.S Glazer, "The Poker Pundit" and the best poker writer this industry has even seen. A gentle giant with a huge heart. Sometimes his writing had the sting of a scorpion, but his honesty and intergrity will be missed. Andy Glazer passed away on Sunday 4th July 2004 aged only 48.

Mark, Tina and team at PokerPages send their condolences to his family, friends and fellow poker players.
