Interview with RainmanTrail

| New video producer: RainmanTrail |
PokerStrategy.com: Hi, it would be great if you could give us a short introduction about yourself for our users.
rainmantrail: My name is Travis "RainmanTrail". I began my poker career from my interest in mathematics. I grew up as a mathematics savant, and as a 15 year old I was tutoring college students at my University. My first mathematics professor got me interested in poker and at the age of 18 and I began to play professionally.
My major in college was Mathematics with an emphasis on Statistics. I take a mathematical approach to my game as well as to my logical reasoning. I also enjoy playing golf, snowbaording, watching movies and playing tennis with my wife.
PokerStrategy.com: Since when has Poker been a part of your life and what does it mean to you?
rainmantrail: I have played poker for fun since I was a small child, however it has been my way of life since the age of 18. I love poker theory and in depth mathematical analysis of all things poker related. I love maths, psychology and the thrill of competing. I can't think of a better place to practice what truly interests me than at a poker table.
PokerStrategy.com: What has been the greatest success in your online poker career?
rainmantrail: Hmm... that's a tough question for me. I suppose the most money I've ever won at a given tournament would have been the 2007 WCOOP $5k HORSE event on Stars where I took 3rd for $105k. However, winning back to back Sunday Night HORSE tourneys on Full Tilt was probably a more difficult task.
"PokerStrategists can expect different video formats"
PokerStrategy.com: Since when do you produce videos?
rainmantrail: I have been producing videos for about 2 1/2 years. I use to make videos for Stoxpoker/Cardrunners.
PokerStrategy.com: What kind of games do you cover in your videos?
rainmantrail: I mostly cover limit games. I have a very strong background in Stud, Stud Hi/Lo and Razz as well as Limit Hold'em and Omaha 8 or better. I also specialise in HU Razz and HU LHE.
PokerStrategy.com: What limits do you play yourself?
rainmantrail: I can be found anywhere from small stakes to $50-$100 limit cash games.
PokerStrategy.com: What can PokerStrategists expect from your videos? Which limits will you cover?
rainmantrail: PokerStrategists can expect a wide range of video formats from me. I will be making beginner videos as well as novice and expert videos for a variety of games. I give thorough explanations of important concepts as well as classroom instructional style videos.
I also cover any topics that users request. I will be covering low stakes videos at first and moving up the limits as we tackle some of the more advanced concepts. I will probably start out making 1/2, 2/4 and 3/6 limit videos. You can expect me to make videos up to the 30/60 limits in the future as well.
PokerStrategy.com: Are you in touch with any other PokerStrategy.com video producers? Is a collaboration planned?
rainmantrail: Not as of yet, though I'm certainly open to the idea. I have done this in the past with my previous coaching endeavours and found it to be quite helpful.
