Welcome to my first blog! I guess I will start out with a bit about myself. My name is Jeremy and I currently live in Columbus, OH. I have been playing poker for quite a few years now. I started play seriously (non-holdem games) around 2001 or so. Mostly playing 7 card stud and 5 card draw. My "training ground" was at a pool hall, where I would routinely lose all of the money I made playing pool in the back room playing poker. After a few months of being beat up by old men, I decided to stop playing and take a month of from the game and try to work out some basic strategy. I wish I knew there was a lot of good poker literature back then as it would have made life a lot easier. When I came back I was crushing the stud games. Then I really learned how to play 5 draw well, the game they routinely would switch to so they could breakeven. It wasnt too much longer that I started to beat other bigger stud games in the area. Next thing I knew, there was no more action for me. In 2004 I decided to try online poker. I bought in for a couple of grand and started killing every LHE game I sat in even though I had never played the game before. Turns out, I was just a fish on a killer run, and lost my inital BR and all of my winnings within a couple of weeks. Then I decided online poker was rigged and that I would never play it again. Obviously never only last about 1 month. I finally decided to scour the internet for information and I found flopturnriver.com. Without a doubt finding this site was the most +EV thing that has happened in my poker career. Currently I can be found 6-8 tabling 100NL 6max games on Poker Stars or FullTiltPoker.net . I also play in the 5/10 Horse/Omaha 8/Stud 8 games on either site. Well now that I have you guys caught up on my poker life hopefully my next post will have a bit more "meat" to it. Take it easy kids, and if its easy, take it twice!
