Introduction

So, I thought I'd finally take the plunge and start a poker blog. I'm a 29 year old guy who has dabbled in a most forms of NL poker. I had quite a good amount of success in tournaments last year: http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/fulltiltpoker/the_sphinx1/poker/results/13DC7BCD9B76418EBC390DEAE74895D7.html?t=2

However, I have always preferred cash games but had really struggled, not as badly as my PTR suggests, but I was roughly break even/small profit. Prior to Christmas, I started grinding Rush at 50/100NL and was doing ok. I resolved to watch a ton of videos and really study my HEM database and try to start  beating up cash games at a good clip. I watched a minimum of 1 video per day during my long Christmas break and played a lot of hands (over 100,000) in two weeks. My family hated me, but I started to piece things together.

Since the new year, I have been crushing RUSH and at the end of February I moved up to 200NL RUSH and have continued to do very well: http://s1185.photobucket.com/albums/z359/chrismbarker/

Away from poker, I am getting married in the summer which is crazy but obviously exciting. For work, I am a Head of English in a high school in London, England. I am very competitive and run a lot, 10ks are what I'm all about. The dream is to quit and play poker full time.

Goals for the blog:

Post monthly results.

Post tricky hands.

Meet some cool DCers

Have somewhere to vent (but not write bitching run-bad blogs)

Do some free coaching for other RUSH players 50NL and under

Name and shame useless RUSH grinders like FTP red pro Sasha Biorac

Anyways, hopefully I can post consistently and get a decent following.
