Introduction	Name’s Shamus, a.k.a. "Short-Stacked Shamus." I play poker. Strictly recreational. Mostly micro, or "low" (hence the moniker). Primarily cash. The occasional tourney. Basically your average jingle-brained sap. Have also scribbled some for various pokery sites and publications -- besides this one you're currently perusin', that is -- both as "Shamus" and under my real name, Martin Harris. That includes articles and reviews, as well as reporting from the WSOP, WSOP-C, WPT, EPT, APPT, LAPT, NAPT, and various online events. So if you're lookin' for a hired gun to do such, drop me a line at shortstackedshamus at gmail dot com.
