Liv was introduced to the game of poker in 2005 when she was selected to be one of five 'Poker Virgins' on Channel 5's "Ultimate Poker Showdown". She was given the nickname "The Professor" due to her recent graduation in Physics with Astrophysics, and became one of the show's most entertaining and memorable characters.

During the filming of the show she decided to try her hand at a real poker tournament, and ended up winning the first one she ever entered, beating 124 other runners at the Gutshot club in London. Since then Liv has has had a numerous tournament successes both live and online, including winning a $19,000 WPT package to Last Vegas in December 2007.

Since signing with Absolute Poker, Liv has undertaken coaching with Annie Duke, who claims that she will transform Liv into the best female player in the UK! Annie's coaching seems to be working already, as after just two days of training Liv won a tournament at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, and is having regular successes in her weekly bounty tournaments at Absolute Poker.
