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

I'm a newb here, but what the heck.

I'm 32, live in Oakville (outside of Toronto), married with
one kid (19 mnths)

At the moment I work, and my bills are huge so I likely need to keep doing so. Really love to take down STT's like zee or raptor, but way too much lack of skill at this point.

I am studying various things at all times from stats to trying to do an mba to career stuff (i'm in IT)

Favorite movies are guy ritchie types like lock stock and two smoking barrels, and brad pitts best movie ever, snatch.

I've been playing online for a little over a year now with any type of seriousness, and can 2-3 table 20+2s and 30+3s at Party for low, but ok ROI which funds my MTT habits. Best mtt's aren't great, but 7th/2000 and 6th/1400 in 30/20+ mtts on party.

My PIC is here for anyone who got this far ;-)

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

I love these threads! Thank you all for contributing and adding "flesh" to our somewhat skeleton-like virtual community!

Here's me:
Turned 46 on July 12, where I played my very first WSOP event (#44, $1,000 buy-in), busted Varkonyi out and finished in the money! Best birthday since I moved to the US!

Living in New York City - moved here from Copenhagen, Denmark, 6 years ago and have yet to look back.

Married the Mouse (Crazy Mouse) 2 years ago; unless I win a major event there's just not going to be money for raising children in Manhattan!

Working as self-employed geriatric Social Worker (the least) and office manager in Architectural firm (the most).

Technically I'm still trying to finish the final thesis for my Industrial Psychology degree at the University of Copenhagen. Could still happen, although it's probably not going to land me any jobs on this side of the Atlantic.

Films: Blue Velvet or Reservoir Dogs - can't really make up my mind.

Won a PStars $10 buy-in MTT (1,100 players), finished second in a $50 buy-in (300 players), 15th in a $200 buy-in (2,000+ players).

Played my first hand of Hold'em in AC 1997, my first limit-SnG on Paradise in 2000, my first No-Limit tourney on PSO 4 years ago.

I'm a slow learner, working 40+ hours a week and mainly playing when I'm really too tired doesn't help, but I've steadily been booking progress over the years, and I know I'll get there eventually.

Ambition: To win the WSOP Senior's event! No cocky 21-year olds with baseball caps and sun glasses! Can't wait to turn 50, lol!

Oh, and here's my WSOP picture: Vegas, baby!

Best,

McMelchior (Johan)

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

-I am 23. April 16th 1982 is my birthdate.

-I live in Seattle Washington.

-I am not married, but have saved $10K of $14K for an engagement ring for my girlfriend of almost 2 years.

-I graduated as an IS major from the University of Washington in December of 2004.

-I work for the "IT Department" for Safeco Insurance. I put it in quotations because we basically do everything. (related to IT at least)

-My favorite movie is Shawshank Redemption

-My best poker accomplishments are winning a $33 MTT on Party for ~8K (after 8 months of playing) and making the final table 2/3 times I have played in the Thursday night Mirage tourney ($225 + $200 rebuy). I took first last month on June 2nd for ~8K and a year before that I took 7th. The first time that I played in it I busted near the bubble in 13th (top 9 paid) on an outdraw (KK vs. 77) and the lucky guy hit his set on the turn. I swore I'd be back each year to dominate that tournament, and I have.

Also, for my last 6 months of college, I played poker "professionally" as in paid 2 quarters tuition, books, rent, gas, "party money" and food. I ended up playing more than I was originally working though (to make money, and also as part of an addiction...heh)

-I've been playing for 2 and a half years. I've been "gambling" for 5.
