Top Five today, no particular order: The Empire Strikes Back, Lost in Translation, The Princess Bride, Pulp Fiction, that AMC special about Bruce Lee (which if anyone has a copy of or knows where I might acquire one, or even knows the title, drop me a line.)

Re: How old are you? Where do you live? Best poker achievement?
 

Hey all,

I'm 27. Birthday is Nov. 6.

I live in Philly, and I'm a lawyer. I'm married with no kids, but the 2 year-old beagle is pretty close.

My favorite movie is Glory, with the LOTR trilogy as a close second. My favorite book is Of Mice and Men, and my favorite poker book is HOH1.

I've been playing poker for 5 years, but I've only gotten serious in the past 8 months or so. My best accomplishment was when I won the first MTT I ever played, a 30+3 on Party with 761 entrants, worth a cool $5K (yes, I owe all that to 2+2 books and threads).

-Tripp

Re: How old are you? Where do you live? Best poker achievement?
 

Although I am not an MTT regular (more of an SNG man.. but play MTTs frequently waiting for my big score), this thread made me feel all warm and fuzzy. So I thought I'd post.

21 years old.. Born 12/8/83

Live just outside of DC.. moving to Baltimore in a couple of weeks to start law school.

Single, recently broke up with GF of 6 years. =/

Student, paralegal at a DC firm.

Will start studying law at the U of Maryland School of Law in the fall.

Favorite movie is really tough... Godfather II, Donnie Brasco, Pulp Fiction, Mulholland Dr., Hook, Zoolander.. Heh. I have wierd taste.

I've been playing little $5 home games with friends for about 4 years, but started playing online seriously around March. Wow, it occurs to me that I haven't really been playing very long.

My proudest accomplishment (although not my biggest score by quite a bit), because its my only large field MTT win, was beating 2400 suckas to take down a $500 freeroll on Party for a HUGE $70 prize. Wreeeee.

I outkicked my coverage on this one by so much....words can't even describe.

My best accomplishments are a few final tables in some PLHE tourneys on stars, a few final tables in some PLO8 tourneys on stars, and turning $100 into over $1800 at a PLO game on stars in a few hours.

Other: more than a handful of tattoos; competitive tennis player; avid golfer; love dank beer

I am also pretty proud of the day that I started 4 multis (109 on party, 110 10k on empire, 215 o8 on stars, and 11r 25k gtd on stars) and bubbled in the party one, won the 110 empire for 3000, won the 215 o8 for 7000 and won the 11r 25k gtd for 11000. Winning 3 tourneys all at the same time felt pretty good.

Best poker acomplishment? How long been playing?
In the 2 years I've been playing online (which is about when I actually started playing "seriously," i.e. with a modicum of knowledge about what I was doing and why I was doing it), it's gotta be the 2nd I took in a 'stars $55 mtt, worth somewhere around $2500.

If you look hard enough, you can probably find pictures of me from my appearance on Jeopardy. I look like the guy who's about to throw up. If I ever get a digital camera or have someone take a decent photo of me with one, I'll put it somewhere.

Re: How old are you? Where do you live? Best poker achievement?
 

ooooh best donk. Mine's a tie between my ME experience, losing 2 HU coinflips in the 200k's and going from de facto chipleader in the stars 100 rebuy with 20 left to out 19th. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: How old are you? Where do you live? Best poker achievement?
 

Best donk....

300+ person 100$ UB MTT

I am runaway chip leader with 2 tables left. I think 2nd place has about 1/3 of my stack. I could fold until well into the final table and be in comfortable position.

I finished 17th.

Re: How old are you? Where do you live? Best poker achievement?
 

Spee,

Have you by chance been on Televised poker in the last few months?

If so, welcome. If not, welcome anyway. I enjoyed your post, and it's a nice reminder that you don't have to place first and win a balizzion dollars to still enjoy this game.

Me:
-I'm 34
-Engaged, getting married Oct. 21, just bought our first house
-I'm a lighting designer and prodcution manager for a non-profit theatre just north of Philadelphia.
-I'm partial to A Few Good Men, Rear Window, It's A Wonderful Life, anything Star Wars, and recently a little independant film with Vince Vaughn, Monica Potter and Joey Lauren Adams called A Cool Dry Place.
-Best poker achievement is to stick with it, actually study the game, and become profitable after starting down over $450 in the first month I played in Feb. '04. (Finished 7th in a Party $5/1 with 1900 people and 4th in a PL$30/3 with about 60). Still working on the MTT game as I play mostly SNGs.

Earlier this week I was 2nd with 5 left. Me and first had huge chip leads over the other 3. What do I do? Foolishly get in too deep head up with #1-san and get shown the door in 5th, a mistake potentially valued at several benjamins.

Been all downhill since then as far as MTTS go. Gave me a false sense of where I was as far as skills,if you know what I mean.

Re: How old are you? Where do you live? Best poker achievement?
 

Just turned 25, July 18, 1980.

I live in Carlsbad, CA but will forever claim Seattle as my home.

No member of the opposite sex holding me down at the moment.
I'm going to go back to school someday but for now I'm playing poker for a living.

Graduated from the University of Washington(only took 6 years!) and planning on getting my MBA at UCSD if I ever get tired of poker.

Life is Beautiful is my favorite movie.

I donked my way to 1st place in EPT Deauville but I think that my 2nd in Monte Carlo was a bigger accomplishment. Tougher field, I played much better and it paid more $.

I've been playing poker for 3 or 4 years but really started taking it seriously about a year ago.

Re: How old are you? Where do you live? Best poker achievement?
 

I'll be 31 on July 24th.

I live in Israel, have a gf for more than 5 years.

Besides poker I'm a freelance writer for TV and other media here.

I have a BA degree in philosophy, studied mainly eastern philosophy. Much prior to that I've also studied physics and math, but stopped before I got my degree. I enjoy math a lot and love learning and playing with it, but got very bored when it came to actually dealing with math and science full-time (although it was rather easy for me).

Movies? it's tough. Too many. I'll leave it open.

I'm playing poker seriously for somewhat more than 2 years. I've built a bankroll out of nothing, playing SNGs and some NL ring, and made enough to maintain a BR and also for regular nice cash-outs. Less than a year ago I've started playing MTTs seriously, and I have several 4 figures wins at $50-$100 buy-ins on-line, mainly from the few last months.

My biggest accomplishment though is probably qualifying on Stars for 4 consecutive EPT events this year (3 times using FPPs only), and winning packages worth about $30K total, including for the grand final in Monte-Carlo. Unfortunatly I ran very cold on the 4 events themselves, so no big cashes. (Although I did make a final table at a biggish side event in Monte-Carlo for a small win).

Online:
final tables (monies) include many 1st's-10th's (ft's) from buy-in ranges of $5 - $110 over the last 20 months. Latest MTT result was 11th place on 700 runner $110 weekly whopper on pac 2 weeks ago (although I did grab seat from an $11 sat [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]).
Live:
Several wins in local card club (max $2000) and several near misses (deep places) in Irish Poker tour events but sadly ranging from bubble to bubble - 10 - i.e all outside the money [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: How old are you? Where do you live? Best poker achievement?
 

I'm 28 and live in San Francisco with a girlfriend of many years. I'm making slow, incremental progress towards a PhD in Political Science at UC-Berkeley, studying Latin American politics and political economy. I like movies a lot and couldn't possibly pick a single favorite, but I have recently touted Touch of Evil, This is Spinal Tap, and Jonah Who Will be 25 in the Year 2000 elsewhere on these boards.

I'd say my greatest poker accomplishments are:

1) Never going bust.
2) Living off poker for a couple years while keeping it from devouring the rest of my life.
3) Becoming a dominant anaconda player within my family by age 11.
