At 26, Martin Coleman (Dodgyken) has cemented his place in the online poker world, a poker career which began in 2001. At that time, limit holdem was his game of choice, a taste which in 2003, shifted to PLO. That was also around the same time Martin graduated from Leeds University with a degree in mathematics. He continued along the career path, taking on a teaching position, something he enjoyed for almost three years. Finally, Martin decided to leave his traditional profession, social perks and all, to pursue poker full time. He began playing NL holdem in april 2007 at .5/1. "Dodgyken" sped through the stakes, and is now enjoying regular status anywhere from 3/6 to 10/20. While acknowleding the common life struggles that come with a career in poker, he maintains a level head, and is finding the balance that will allow him to excel in poker, while maintaining a healthy and satisfying life. We know Martin will be a valued asset to the Leggo Poker community, and are confident you will agree.
