About Gene Bromberg
GENE BROMBERG is a writer and blogger from Pittsburgh. Despite his demonstrable lack of aptitude for the game he found himself writing about poker for fun and, a bit later, professionally. He¡¯s the blogger for UltimateBet and has also written for PokerNews, Bluff Magazine, CardPlayer, WorldSeriesOfPoker.com, PokerMagazine and Barstool Sports. And for nearly four years he blogged under the barely-pseudonymous name ¡°Mean Gene.¡±
He received his bachelor¡¯s degree in English from the Pennsylvania State University and his MBA from the University of Pittsburgh. There are days when he still can¡¯t believe he actually made it through B-school. This is one of those days.
Gene enjoys playing volleyball almost as much as he enjoys going out for beers afterward. For eight years he¡¯s maintained an uneasy truce with a cat named Ernie. And he recently discovered that he enjoys referring to himself in the third person.
