A little about me:
I've been playing card games since the age of 3. When kids the same age were being taught 'Go Fish', I was being taught Gin and 5-card Draw Poker by my Grandpa.
My Grandpa hosted games quite often at his house and everytime I came over I would pick them up and learn them. Soon I had learned many more games such as Stud, Chinese Poker, MahJongg, and Euchre among others.
I was able to take little things from each different game and apply them to a wider strategy in new games that I was partaking. It was how I made the smooth transition from grinding 2/4nl and 20/40 limit holdem into succeeding in Omaha Hi/Lo games.
Taking what I had learned from previous games, I was able to develop special strategies and counter-strategies for Omaha Hi/Lo and soon moved from playing 5/10 limit in November of 2007 to 100/200 limit rather quickly. I've since settled down and focus on playing 15/30 limit.
The majority of my O8 hands of the past couple years. I did actually lose in some levels and some are tuned down a lot because of flipping or drunken grudge matches with friends.
