Math Teacher from Chicago suburb, Hello!!

Postby Mr. Homewood » Aug 17 2010

Hi everyone, my name is Justin, I'm currently a full-time math teacher at a highschool in a south burb of Chicago. I'm 25 years old going on 26 in November.

I started playing poker my freshman year of college in 2003 (caught the bug) and played a little too much during school haha. I then stopped once I started my small business but have got back into it last year and am really trying to improve my game this year, as I do not want to be teaching for the rest of my life (I'm already getting tired of it and I've only taught 1 year so far...)

Anyways, I'm looking forward to posting, sharing, and learning a lot from you guys here on the forum, and I will try to offer any tips I have when I can!

I'm not a complete n00b, but I still have a lot to learn. I have four MTT wins under my belt, however they were all in buy ins $11 or below. Biggest cash was $1951 in a $11 stars MTT, back in 2006. I'm still trying to break that personal record but players are tough these days!

Thanks in advance to everyone I will learn from, and I hope some of you can learn from me as well!

-Justin

Welcome Mr Homewood!

$1951 is not too shabby a score for a $11 tourney!
