First Post

I will be posting my poker results and sharing my poker experiences and insights on this blog. Apologies preemptively for any rants about Cleveland sports teams which will undoubtedly occur as well.

To give a little background, I have been playing poker seriously for the past 4 years while working in the finance industry. I started in the underground clubs in Manhatten while working as an investment banking analyst, building my bankroll slowly in the incredibly loose 1-2 and 5-5 NL games. Weekends in AC were also a regular occurence during my time in NYC. My bankroll got a nice boost when I placed second in a prelim WPT event at the Borgata for 65k.

Since moving to Washington DC two years ago to work for the World Bank, I have shifted my poker focus to the online world, and have slowly moved up the ring game ranks.

Last week, I quit my job and now have a 6-month window (I will be attending business school in the fall) to give poker a full time shot. I am incredibly excited and plan to take this opportunity seriously. My goal is to build a sizable bankroll over the next four months, playing primarily in online cash games, and then head out to Vegas in June and play in most of the Hold'em WSOP events. My hiatus from the real world got off to a promising start last week.

I have never used Poker Tracker or any other poker software before, and am having a bit of trouble installing it properly. Once I get it going, I will use it to post my daily results and to also post links to interesting hands which I will provide commentary on. Until then, I will just post my results and I guess you will have to trust me.

You can typically find me at either Full Tilt or Poker Stars under the screename Drewkamm at the 10/20 NL tables.
