“Most poker writers focus on how the champions think and play, but hardlyanything has been written about ordinary players. I want to help them tounderstand themselves and the people in their games.” ~Alan Schoonmaker
To learn everything there is to know about Alan Schoonmaker from hischildhood to his career as an author, please continue reading this detailedbiography. We are sure you will discover something you never knew before. Whatare you waiting for? Let’s dig in!Early Years
Alan Schoonmaker was born and raised in Pasadena, California. His father wasa professor at the California Institute of Technology, and his mother was asurgical nurse. He was the oldest of three children, having two younger sisters.Schoonmaker had a pleasant childhood until his father abandoned his family whenhe was just ten years old. He came home from school one evening to find hismother in tears as she read his father’s goodbye note, which explained that hewas in love with someone else and was planning to spend the rest of his lifewith her.
This incident left Schoonmaker devastated, so his mother felt it would be inhis best interest to talk to a therapist. He was hesitant to open up to atherapist at first but eventually found those sessions to be beneficial. It wasactually these early experiences that caused Schoonmaker to develop an interestin psychology, but there will be more on that later.Alan Schoonmaker
When Schoonmaker was 13 years old, he played poker for the first time in thecaddy shop of the golf course he worked for. The first type of poker he learnedhow to play was Texas hold’em, but he went on to learn how to play CaribbeanStud Poker and Omaha hold’em as well. Playing poker was a stress-relievingactivity he used to deal with his father’s absence.
Schoonmaker excelled in school from an early age and ended up graduating inthe top 5% of his class. He was a member of the school’s math club, scienceclub, and psychology club. His academic performance in combination with hisextracurricular activities earned him a full-ride scholarship to the CaliforniaInstitute of Technology. Wanting to avoid a possible run-in with his father, hedecided to decline their offer and attend the University of California atBerkeley instead.His College and Career Path
During Schoonmaker’s first year of college, he decided not to declare amajor. Although becoming a psychologist was something he was considering, he wasoverwhelmed by the thought of being in college for eight years. At the time, hethought becoming a mathematics teacher might be the better option.
It was during Schoonmaker’s sophomore year that he started playing poker on aregular basis with a group of friends that met at a local cafe every Tuesdayevening. He loved observing the other players, looking for their tells, andtrying to pinpoint their playing styles.
It was actually his interest in analyzing players’ moves that made himreconsider his calling to be a psychologist.
“I play only in smaller gamesbecause maximizing my profits is much less important to me than relaxing andlearning about people. I became a psychologist because I enjoy people-watching,and a cardroom is a wonderful place to do it.”
He earned his Ph.D. in Industrial Psychology in just a little over seven years. Well-Renowned Author in the Poker Community
Schoonmaker’s first job out of college was at Poker Digest; he became theauthor of their Psychology of Poker column. His articles were so popular thatseveral publishers encouraged him to write a book. He has written six pokerstrategy books in total now, all of which have been translated into French,German, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian. Over 100,000 copies of each book havebeen sold in the United States alone. I have listed his books for you below,along with a summary of what they are about.The Psychology of Poker (Published in 2000)
Schoonover addresses the psychological factors that affect a player’s abilityto play properly. He also explains how a person’s personality and lifeexperiences will determine what kind of player they are: tight, loose,aggressive, or passive. He lastly includes a chapter on some strategicadjustments that can be implemented to improve a player’s performance andtherefore increase their chances of winning.Your Worst Poker Enemy (Published in 2007)
This book alludes to the fact that the biggest problem standing in the way ofplayers winning a poker game is themselves. This book helps players identify andstop psychological-based mistakes that everyone makes. Other topics discussedinclude using intuition versus logic, adjusting to unexpected changes in thegame, and managing a stressful playing session.Your Best Poker Friend (Published in 2007)
This book discusses the essential mental abilities and critical psychologicaltraits that lead to a successful poker player. It also encourages players to askthemselves questions like, “Which games should I play?” and “Where should Isit?” This book ends by taking players through the necessary steps to developtheir own poker improvement plan.Poker Winners Are Different (Published in 2009)

Schoonmaker uses this book to explain why poker is better than most mentalexercise programs and how it has been used to improve memory loss in elderlypatients. He encourages people to learn how to play poker sooner rather thanlater and points out the many health benefits associated with playing poker.How to Beat Small Poker Games (Published in 2015)
This book advises players on how to improve their performance in low-stakespoker games. It walks players through the steps of how to analyze their skillsand their opponents’ skills. It reveals how a simple change in basic strategycan have a huge impact on the results of the game. It ends with a freeone-hour-long coaching session.
In an interview with Poker News, Schoonmaker explained why most of his bookstarget average players, rather than professionals.
“As the stakes get higher,the players become more serious and homogeneous. Most of them study the samebooks, know the same odds, and try to use similar strategies. In the smallergames there are more rocks, more maniacs, more calling stations, more nerds,more ‘Deluded Experts,’ and more oddballs, which means I learn more and getbetter material for my writing.”
In addition to writing books, Schoonmaker hosted his own radio show called“Holdem Radio,” where he discussed upcoming poker tournaments, latest pokernews, and a myriad of other poker-related topics. He was also asked to speak ata seminar sponsored by the Global Poker Strategy Thinking Society at Harvard LawSchool. He then went on to teach and perform research at other universities aswell, including Belgium’s Catholic University of Louvain, Carnegie-Mellon, andUCLA.Family and Personal Life
Schoonmaker married his college sweetheart, Elizabeth Thiel, shortly aftergraduation. They had three children in total: Margaret, Mark, and Mason.Schoonmaker loves his job because it allows him to stay home and spend more timewith his family. He can even take his work with him when his family goes onvacation, so they have the flexibility to travel more often. Now that all of hischildren are in college, he and his wife spend nearly half of the year on theroad; their goal is to visit the capital of all 50 US states.
When Schoonmaker isn’t traveling, he can often be found horseback riding. Heowns four horses and enjoys the time he gets to spend taking care of them andracing them. Once he retires, he plans to buy more of them and is evenconsidering opening a summer horse racing camp for children with special needs.
Schoonmaker is very generous, giving away 10% of all the profits from hisbook sales to various charities across the world, including the American RedCross, Doctors Without Borders, and Habitat for Humanity. He was even a part ofa team of volunteers that traveled to Louisiana to rebuild homes that weredestroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Wrap-Up
