6. Best poker acomplishment? How long been playing?

Been playing since 2002. Lost my ass at first, in part due to weak tight style I picked up reading Ken Warren. I wish Ed had written GSIH and SSHE back then.

Started playing MTT (live and online) in 2004. Played in total of 15 live tourneys of at least 100 players. Have 4 final tables (incl. 1 first, 1 second), cashed in a 5th (WSOP circut event), and busted on 2 bubbles (incl WSOP 2500 NLHE event). Made Cardplayer for a couple of final tables in April.

Online, I have played for the last 9 months on Stars, and have ~25 final tables and several wins/chops, including a win in the $10R last Tuesday.

I just want to add that posts by people like sirio11, colson, Soss, ClaytonM, Lloyd, and all other frequent posters that I have missed have helped my game so much due to this forum specifically, and I just wanted to say thanks to you guys.

I'm only a casual MTT player or poster, but what the hell.

How old are you?
30, and therefore old.

Where do you live?
Yarmouth, Nova Scotia

Are you married?
Married, no children yet.

Occupation besides poker?
Lawyer. Why so many lawyers playing poker? Could it be all that ego and soul-sapping competitive drive?

If studying, what and where?
Once I studied deconstructive and psychoanalytic literary theory. It was more fun than keeping drunk drivers out of jail and on our streets and highways. It didn't pay many bills.

Favorite movie?
The Princess Bride. Cool Hand Luke. Rashomon.

Best poker acomplishment?
Biggest MTT win was yesterday, chopping top prize in a Stars $10+R. Really, I'm a limit grinder, and I think the real accomplishment has been building my bankroll and sustaining a win-rate I'm happy with.

How long been playing?
I've been playing at playing poker since I was 5. I've been playing poker for about a year and a half.

eesh i dunno. im a huge movie buff but i have trouble picking just one. lock, stock, and two smoking barrels was the first thing to come to my head [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Best poker acomplishment? How long been playing?
started playing a few months after i turned 18... so i've been playing maybe 20 months total now. biggest accomplishment by far was winning the pacific 1 million guarenteed for $210k (190 after backer fees) back in march. also won the bodog 100k about a month ago. plan to dwarf those both with a WSOP 2007 bracelet [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm 21. my birthday is June 10.
I live in syracuse NY.
single. no children (I hope).
I work construction, and when I graduate next spring I'll be starting a remodeling business.
I'm studying mathematics and political science (double major, don't ask why) at syracuse university.
my favorite movie is lost in translation.

my best poker accomplishment is winning $640 in two hours at the 5/10 game at turning stone. I think I entered like three or four pots without eventually winning them, and never lost a showdown. I'm not sure it's much of an accomplishment actually, because it didn't really take much skill.. I just got lucky with my cards and the players.
