One of the preeminent coaches in the poker world, Dusty “Leatherass” Schmidt has just announced that he will be leaving the online poker training site DragtheBar.com and will be joining BlueFirePoker.com. The long-time grinder, turned poker coach, turned author is famous for his ability to grind out a profit month-after-month, and for his no-nonsense approach to the game of poker.

Schmidt announced he would be leaving Drag the Bar after a two-year stint at the site on his personal blog, and had nothing but kind words to say about the site and its owner Hunter “BeachJustice” Bick. BlueFire Poker will be the third online training site that Schmidt has worked for, having gotten his start as a poker coach with the now defunct StoxPoker, before moving on to Drag the Bar.

BlueFire Poker is widely considered as having an “All-Star” lineup of poker coaches. The site is fronted by owner/coach, and Mr. Poker, Phil “OMGClayAiken” “MrSweets28” “JMan” Galfond, and boasts a roster that includes Martin “Giggy” Fournier Giguere, Niman “Samloeus” Kenkre, and 2010 November Niner Jason “PBJaxx” Senti. And with the addition of Schmidt, BlueFire Poker has one of the strongest cash-game coaching rosters in the entire poker training market (especially when you consider the big-names at BlueFire Poker are active in producing content).

Schmidt becomes the latest in a series of additions to the BlueFire Poker coaching roster, which has grown from a strictly cash-game training site to encompass virtually every poker format including multi-table tournaments and Sit & Go tournaments.
