34 yrs old
Decatur, AL
Married 5 years with a son (2 1/2) and daughter (4 weeks).
Movie: Cool Hand Luke
Other occ: Pharmaceutical Sales (The Purple Pill)
Been playing about 1 1/2 year. Mostly $10 - $30 SNGs and some lower buy in MTTs (5 - 30)
Greatest accomplishment (which was probably the worst thing that could have happened to me): After only playing with real $$ for about 2 months, I came in 4th in a $5 MTT, 680 people, on PokerRoom. 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.

Read alot on here, but give little advice because I feel I still have a long way to go. Thank you in advance for replying to any donk- like question that I may post.

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.

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).

Hey Stoneii! Nice seeing you around here again... didn't see any posts of you for a long time, but maybe I have missed some... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.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.
