Fair enough Ravageur, here is me and poker in a nutshell...

I started playing poker pre-Moneymaker, I actually was playing some quarter games when I was 12, I guess that is about 24 years ago... yeeesh dating myself, I feel old...

I have been a winning poker player for the past 5-6 years playing no higher then 100 NL. I have struggled with trying to push win rates, 6 table and cram poker strategy in my brain ever since... I have struggled with this because I have never been able to quite go "balls out" with poker...

The last year or two I have played mostly live and not all that much at that. A few months ago I was talking to a few of my buddies at my home game and the conversation turned to "Jeff why don't you write poker anymore"...

I decided to pursue the idea of poker writing and in the same breath I figured I would have to start playing more again.

I am not looking to grind 12 tables at 3BB/100 and make a living at poker. It is just not a healthy option for me even if I was able to pull it off...

So here is me trying to dive back into the poker scene, post Black Friday and all... I am currently playing some 25NL 6 handed...
