Ok, I'm your huckleberry.
I'll start with a bit about my situation. Inadvertently, about four years ago, I became a "pro" poker player when I was no longer able to work for medical reasons and became housebound. I had previously been in precision industrial carpentry for 12 years or so. I was GOOD at it, and very well paid.
The first year was a learning process, but I became a moderate, consistent, winner at the micros. The next 1 1/2 years were good. I was able to grind 1/2 nl for about 5 ptbb/100, and had several decent tourney cashes. I easily kept up with the bills and medical expenses, and even had spare change enough to buy myself a couple bimmers [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
Enter the last year and a half. I had been playing in increasing pain, and ever increasing doses of pain killers, and my winrate reflected this. I was playing shorter and shorter sessions, and playing them worse and worse, my judgment and confidence shot. Soon I was only bankrolled for busto stakes and very seldom playing.
Recently (couple months ago) I had an operation that has drastically reduced my pain, to the point I no longer use painkiller at all anymore. I have been trying to rebuild my roll and my confidence, even working up to recent shots at 2/4 nl (that variance decided I shouldn't have taken [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]).
That's my poker history in a nutshell.
As for strat posts, I've not been too active in the last few years, but my first 1500 or so posts were almost exclusively strat.
I have been able to coach my gf to be a winning player (her br is MUCH bigger than mine currently), and think I am a decent teacher and good at concisely conveying my ideas, as well as being open minded to new concepts.
Like I said:

Edited to add graph:
The last downswings are my shots at 2/4.
