After reading this thread (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=2831630&page=0&view=c ollapsed&sb=5&o=14&fpart=1) there are a lot of posters who are younger than i thought. Since this sort of thread hasn't been done in quite a while, I figured I'd start it up again.

I'm 25, I attended Ohio State for about 4 years and partied way too much, as a result I'm still working on a degree at a smaller school here in Columbus. I quit my job waiting tables in April, and am now 8 tabling the 33s (soon to be the 55s).

27, I have a BA in Philosophy at University of Dallas. I was a General manager in a door-to-door sales company until about 4 months ago (very very good money at times, very bad money at other times - much like poker.) Started to get really miserable there, however, so I quit as soon as it became apparent I could support myself playing SNGs.

I'm a 28 year old lawyer. Graduated from Florida State in 1997 on my 21st birthday with a worthless degree, dicked around for a few years waiting tables and selling insurance until I went to law school in 2001 at the University of Arkansas.

Hate being a lawyer, would love to make a living playing poker.

Playing poker exclusively carries a risk that other business ventures do not--a big a** hole in your resume. So, I'm just keeping my practice going with my top clients, friends and family. I'll have it pared down to 1 day a week within 2-3 months. I can always get back my old clients whenever I wish, and if I decide that poker isn't the thing for me, I won't have a hole in the resume.

I'm also an aspiring novelist. I also golf 70-80 rounds per year. I also watch 200-300 films per year. Read about 50 books. Chase women 364/365 days. And still sleep 8 hours a night.

21. Left college at 18, bummed around for a couple of years, and ive just finished my first year of a BSc Hons degree in Business and Management studies (at least when i pass my 1 resit i will have).

I play poker too much, and live slightly beyond my means. Next year will take this game seriously and plan to be 4 tabling at least the 20s, prolly the 30s (currently 1 or 2 table the 20s whilst playing the odd 30 when running hot).

Short term goal: Support myself and clear some of my debt playing poker - finish my degree (possibly going on to an MBA) - play a few more big MTTs live (inc WSOP 06)

Long term goal: Build a big bankroll, get good, and invest a huge chunk into my own company(s)

Longer term goal: Play poker goot at a high level (im a tourney specialist, wanna branch out into PL/NL ring), splitting my time between being a degenerate gambler and an upstanding businessman running my mini empire.

Took a sales job out of college, mucked it to start a marketing company...these days its about 75% poker though just moved the offices and plan on investing some of my roll and time in the company in the next month or two.

- 29
- graduated w/M.Eng in CS/EE from M.I.T
- video game programmer
- started last year 1-tabling the Stars $5.50s and moving up every time I built 10 buyins for the next level. Shifted to Party 109s 3 months ago and have settled comfortably in the 55s 4-6 tabling.

i don't even try to conceive what # of sng's is a "reasonable" sample anymore. -17% roi on my first 270 sngs at the 55s. +45% roi on my next 300.

immediate goals: make the empire royal flush club within the next 2 months, build my sample size to 1000 to see if it ends up making any more sense.

Education: Some college and a lot of working experience

I 2 table in about 40-50 SNG's a week, mainly 33's and 55's. Maybe some day I'll be good enough to 4 table without doing something stupid like completely forgetting about a game, only to find I finished 5th by auto folding. Yep, sorry to say it really happened /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

If this is who I think it is, I hope for your sake you play poker better than you bowl, mud wrestle, or crawl.

[DrPhysic]

Nah, you ain't one of the old ones. I have three kids older than you and a grandkid older than raptor. (and 4 more that are close!)

But SkipperBob still holds the record. He's even older than me!

Just discovered poker this year which is kind of surprising since I did a 4 year stint in the military and worked with one of the tilt boys a few years back and loved their stories. Currently getting dope slapped in the $11s, but it's casual.
