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]

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.

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!

Favorite movie?sounds pish and geeky but its probably the matrix..

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.

Age: 22 and living at home for the time being.

I am currently working in the finance dept. of a hotel.

Single/In a relationship: Its terrible and its long distance and its been 3 years on and off.

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

I have been playing online for 2.5 years, about .5 of that was losing though... I have just started playing live tournaments, final tabling my first two, with one win. I play live cash games in AC as well.

Biggest Accomplishments:

Pokerstars Atlantis Double Shootout for 12k
Chopped first/second at the Taj 300+40 NL for 7k
UB25k First place - 5500

I have had several other good finishes but these 3 are my biggest accomplishments, all for different reasons.

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.
