Craig Berger is the head in-house writer and editor for CKMG and has been in it from the beginning. From a freelance copywriter offering whatever content was needed for the fledgling What’s the Lowdown company to the go-to poker and gambling writer for Content Kings to CKMG’s in-house provider and editor of top-quality SEO web content, Craig has handled all kinds of client content needs and is ready for the new content challenges to come.

Craig’s writing and editing background includes winning the Writemovies.com International Writing Competition in 2005 and earning a Master of Professional Writing degree from USC in 2003. His writing and editing roots stem from writing for NYU’s Washington Square News and starting his own college newsletter way back in the Dark Ages of the 20th century.

Craig continues to write content on just about everything, although his focus is still on poker. His knowledge of poker comes from 20 years of playing everything from kitchen games like Follow the Queen and Spit in the Ocean to cardroom favorites like seven card stud, Omaha and hold’em. He has found himself in crucial hands against such poker greats as Layne Flack, Amir Vahedi, Scott Fischman and Men Nguyen. Even when he doesn’t come out on top, he can still write a better blog post than any of them.

Favorite Quote: Know what the difference is between hitting .250 and .300? 25 hits. That means if you get just one extra flare a week - just one - a gork... you get a groundball, you get a “groundball with eyes”…you get a dying quail… you get just one more dying quail a week...you're in Yankee Stadium.” –Crash Davis, Bull Durham

Hobbies: Poker (of course!), chess, watching football, reading
