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


I'm 20yo. June 11, 1985.

Live in Los Angeles, CA (in the dorms of UCLA) or Torrance, CA when i'm not in school.

Girlfriend of 1 year and 3 months. No kids, but soon an uncle.

Student/Slacker.

English/Sociology double major witha minor in geology. Probably dropping the sociology major though.

High Fidelity!

I've been playing for 2 years or so now. My biggest accomplishment is recovering from all the debt I put myself in when I was a losing player who would always play way above his bankroll. Biggest cash in a tourney is 10k.

I am 29 years old, my B-Day is June 25

I live in Jacksonville, FL

Got married last year, no children.

Am currenlty a 2L at Law School - had a real job for a while, hated it so I decided to go back to school. Am lucky because my wife has a great job.

Favorite movie is Goodfellas.

I guess my best poker accomplishment would be building up my bankroll to 1K from $50 playing the micros and bonus whoring alot. Havent played many MTT's, probably around 20 or so, but have made two final tables on Pacific's 15 K gauranteed, once busting out 8th and once busting out 7th.

I have played poker for a while, but only got "serious" about the last year or so. I use the term serious loosley though because I am still not all that great but have learned alot reading the 2+2 books, especially SSHE. I have been kinda bored with limit poker lately - being a gambler at heart it's sometimes hard to be so patient. Currently looking to get more into MTT's and have been playing some heads-up NL SnG's on BoDog.

Re: How old are you? Where do you live? Best poker achievement?
 
Name: Jessica/Jessy or Jeanie
Birthday? Age?: Aug. 13th 1985 (I'm 20)
Location?: Born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. Hoping to make a move sometime soon. (within 5 years [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])
Schooling:Mostly none. Think I went to Highschool up until my sophmore year then dropped out
Married? Children?: Yes married 2 years w/ no kids but a MinPin (for dog lovers) named billy, and a cat named Sushi (big fat black one does nothing all day)

Poker: I've been playing for a living roughly for two years. Went to Vegas in 03' to get married and hit the poker bug big after that little trip. Basically I'm (along with my husband) one of those idiots who thought they knew everything and started playing for a living. Made it almost a year the first time, went broke... 3-5 months later took another shot and I've been playing since Feb. ever since. The right way this time.

My husband plays for a living too, he's (Ya_Fooboo) on the forum, and we both play under the name xo*Kisses*xo or JessyJ at Stars.

Eh, I guess that's enough of my story. Give me all day and I'll keep going. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Re: How old are you? Where do you live? Best poker achievement?
 
I'm 37 in Eden Prairie Minnesota.

I'm sort of like an online law librarian for lawyers and law students.

I'm married with two kids under 4.

I like Groundhog's day b/c it's a movie you can watch over and over and over again (that's a joke)- my true favorite movie is Bridge over the River Kwai.

I've only been playing online for about two years and before that I would go to a card club once in a while (but I didn't know what I was doing).

My biggest accomplishment is a 3 way split in a $20 tournament and 7th in a $50.

Re: How old are you? Where do you live? Best poker achievement?
 
I guess I'm one of the old farts here @ 35, Born and raised in central Mass. Got my MBA from UMass, and have been working in sales for the past 10 or so years. I'm also a snowboard junkie, spend most of my winters on snow, and I also teach at a local mountain.

Been playing poker for about 1.5 years. Took a free $10 from pacific and worked it to ~300 in cash games, then won the $16k for $2300. Since then I have been addicted, play part time nights and have had many final tables and several wins. Took my first poker trip to Vegas a few weeks ago, got crushed at the cash tables, but made it back and then some owning 2 of 5 rebuy tournies @ Sahara. Great trip!

Best poker acomplishment? Its a tossup between qualifying for WPT Atlantis 06 and clearing out roughly $8k of silly student debts. To see yourself in the black after being in a hole for 2 yrs is really something.

How long been playing? 13 months.

As for movies, Old School, Starsky & Hutch, Teen Wolf (Loved it since I was a kid)

Chopped first/second at the Taj 300+40 NL for 7k

My name is Eric and im 24 (april 4). I live in Sweden and study history at the university of Uppsala.
I love dogs and is thinking about getting one, and my favorite movie is "Rare window" (Hitchcock).

Im playing way to much poker and I have to cut it down so feel free to tell me to go and study if I make some stupid post.
I have been playing for two years and covered all forms av holdem. Lost alot on everything except MTTs and S&G.
I have been trying really hard to beat the NL25 at Party, but I cant stand minraises so I often put minraisers allin just because they minraise.

My biggest echeivments is a win at the 25K re&ad 10+1 at Prima, and 3 runner up finishes.

My favorite poker player is Tuan Lee.

My name is Chris (surprise surprise).

I am 26.

I live in San Diego.

I have a BA in Economics and manage a small-cap, small minimum investment hedge fund for a business I started 2 years ago (rather not post my website, don't want to get banned for advertising or something, although pm me if you are interested [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

I play poker and read these forms to relax, I don't play poker for the money but I'd rather not suck, thus why I am here.

I've FT'ed about 5 times, but my main accomplishment is that I have a good time every time I play cards.

Re: How old are you? Where do you live? Best poker achievement?
 
Don't remember if I did this the first time around, and I don't feel like reading 22 pages of posts to see if I did. So ...

I'm 29 years old. Married. One child, a 14-month-old boy named Max.

We live outside of Madison, WI, in a small town named Evansville. I'm the Nation/World Editor at the Wisconsin State Journal newpaper in Madison. My wife is the Director of Sales at the Radisson Hotel in Madison. We both have journalism/mass comm. degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.

My favorite movie of all time has to be The Godfather I and II. My favorite recent movie that I saw is Batman Begins.

Best poker achievement? Has to be winning the nightly 10:30 p.m. $20 tournament on PokerStars.com twice now. Once in February for $3600 with 714 runners, and once in October for $4300 with 930 runners. Both time I was about last in chips with 20 people to play, so the comeback factor made both all the more sweet.

I live in Olathe, KS (suburb of Kansas City)
I'm married with one child (9 months)
I'm a software engineer from 9-5.
I don't watch many movies, but I loved The Fifth Element (I think that makes me a certifiable nerd)
My best poker accomplishment might be winning the nightly 100+9 on UB since the field is so tough, but my biggest cash was first in the Friday Special on Party a few months ago.

I took first in a Party 30+3 for $7600 while I was studying abroad, which made that much more enjoyable. Other than that I'm proud of being able to support myself through poker, but that's more of a long term thing. I've been playing "seriously" for about a year and a half, but every couple of months I'm shocked at how bad I played in the past.

How old are you? Birthday?
24. August 16, 1981.

Where do you live?
Houston, TX.

Are you married? Girlfriend/Boyfriend? Children?
No, single.

Occupation besides poker?
Erstwhile student.

If studying, what and where?
English major. Studied at Rice University for four years; dropped out two years ago. Started classes again this fall at University of Houston. Am attempting to transfer back in hopes of receiving degree this summer.

Favorite movie?
I was in a short film this spring, so I'm going to say that one. Of movies other people on this forum have seen... Magnolia, Dr. Strangelove, and Casablanca quickly come to mind.

Best poker acomplishment? How long been playing?
I've been playing cards my whole life. I have been trying to make money at poker for about a year now. After a brief run where my roommate and I moved up levels far too quick (and were crushing the Pokerroom 2/5 NL games for a couple weeks) we went broke. I decided to buckle down and seriously learn the game. In April I deposited $300 on UltimateBet; that has been my only deposit. My current bankroll was built from scratch after I lost that. (In August, I played a $5 MTT using player points; I cashed for $20, built that up with SnGs and such until I had a couple hundred. I won my first MTT on August 9-- an $11 for $800-- and things have taken off since then.)
My biggest single win was chopping the stars 45k about a month ago for almost $10k. I've had two other cashes of around $2k-- 7th place in Monday's 45k and 1st in a UB $44 two weeks ago.
Poker has paid my tuition this semester and probably will do so again next semester.

Feel free to add any other information or pictures about yourself you want to share.
I have other stuff to keep my life balanced. I act, I DJ at the student radio station, I did improv comedy, I was in a band once, I coached freshmen in flag football for a few years... outside interests, they're good stuff.
I would like to post a picture when I get a good one, for kicks. The list of celebrity comparisons I've gotten over the years has evolved something like this: Jack Black --> Oliver Platt (with beard) --> Zach Braff (without) --> "Dr. Gonzo" --> Jim Morrison.

biggest win was 2nd in my first UB $5.5 for ~$800(set the hook, put me on opm). Biggest finish was 1st in $1 Turbo for ~$200. Still, most proud of rebuilding to $1k after losing that $800 down below $200. (yeah, just an old small-timer)

How long been playing? Most of my life. Played a lot of 5 and 7 card stud growing up. Only started playing holdem a couple of years ago.

Best poker acomplishment? The first time I played live poker at a casino. It was one of the Indiana riverboats near Cincinnati. Playing $5/$10 limit, in the small blind with 24 of spades. UTG raises, and I'm already prepared to fold my measly 24 suited. Then I watched as EVERY player at the table called the raise around to me. At the time I didn't know a whole lot about pot odds and such, but I knew I'd be crazy if I didn't at least see the flop at this point. Well, the flop came A35 all spades. I nearly fell out of my seat. I'll keep it short from here... UTG had AA and made a boat on the turn, while another player had KT of spades. I raked in nearly $500 on that hand.
