Oleg Ostroumov is a mathematician and a poker player who created the world’s first No-Limit Hold'em solver in 2013 and a Triple Draw solver in 2014, which calculated Nash Equilibrium (also known as GTO strategy) for those games. Oleg then partnered with a group of elite players—including Trueteller, Alex ‘Kanu7’ Millar, RaulGonzalez, and Daniel Cates—and played a pivotal role in their rise to prominence.
He previously dropped out of college to play poker professionally full-time.
