The Thomas Crown Affair is my favourite movie.

My best poker accomplishment was making a $200 re-raise bluff on a scary river card in a live NLHE game ($1/$2 blinds, stacks of $400-1100 each player)... and it worked.

once a week? and you're only 19? have you ever considered the possibility you may be gay? even then, i would think the urge to have sex would be ever-present. you should see a doctor.

I'm an old dog, learning new tricks (46 today).

My best poker accomplishment is relearning Hold'em after a 10-year layoff (alright, I played once in a while) when the game has changed so much and still being able to make a living from strictly poker. I haven't had any other income since August 2003.

Married, two kids in college and a three-year old at home (well, most of the day).

My wife and I are both attending college. AA's already and I completed the UNR Gaming Management Program.
