Hey guys, long time semi-active poster/lurker, the name's Jay. Been meaning to do this for a long time-no time like the present, right? I'll go over my poker story real quick first.
I got into poker a few years ago and donked around in the pre UIGEA days. I was probably barely above break even but made a few k if you included bonuses. I made a few attempts to get serious but never really got there. I played up to 100NL in those days.
In the days following the UIGEA I withdrew everything including a couple k from neteller (man, neteller was great, wasn't it?) and didn't play online for half a year or so. I played some live $1/2 NL and it's fun as hell, but I don't have that kind of time. Anyway, I got the bug to get back online.
At some point last year (the end of may says PT) I started effing around on Stars playing play money games and freerolls. I won a dollar something in a freeroll and lost it in limit in like 2 seconds. Then I won another dollar something ($1.31)and discovered $.01/.02 NL. I ran sick good allowing me to build up a microstakes roll and came up with some BR limits and grinded the shit out of $.o2 NL.
Somewhere around the the $.10 NL level I got a cardrunners membership 'cause I learned a ton from the vids (and that's easier to pay for than getting money onto the sites) and started to really learn how to play goot. I had a long hiatus at the end of last year due to work obligations, but have been back with a vengence since Jan 08.
I took a shot at 100NL at about 25 buy-ins and with a sick run of good cards, i'm sitting on a $3400 roll.
... Oh yeah, on to the operation...
I have a lot of social and work obligations, but I love studying/playing poker. My goal is getting the best hourly rate with the min time put in. I'd like to make poker full time an option for the future. So really, I'm just trying to get really damn good.
I don't have any poker-obsessed friends, so I feel like I need to vent poker stuff, and this is the place. I really dig FTR and everyone who posts here.
So anyway, wish me luck! I'll figure out how to post some graphs here and make updates as well as talk some poker strategy.

See you at the tables...
