Poker career

Millar specializes in online high-stakes No Limit Hold'em and rarely plays live tournaments. He has earned over $2,600,000 playing on PokerStars and over $1,800,000 playing on Full Tilt. [3]

Millar had studied at Warwick University. [6] He began playing freerolls and $5 tourneys for fun in his 3rd year. In the 4th year, he started to play low buy-in tourneys, SnGs and 50NL. [5] During that year, Alex moved up from 50NL & 100NL to playing 2000NL & 5000NL. After that he decided to take poker as a career.

In 2013, Alex was signed as a part of PokerStars team pro. [7] He resigned from his role as stars ambassador in 2015. [1]

Millar considers Doug Polk, Ben Sulsky, and Isaac Haxton to be his toughest opponents. [6]
