Wow that's pretty much exactly what I was thinking when I read his post. Not that I'm challenging that he cannot do it, but wtf nontheless.

i agree with you...i dont know his situation, but while going to college i think you can have plenty of time for school work, hanging out, and poker. i dont see the point in taking time off from college.

Here is my info:

Age: 30 Male
Degree: MS Applied Mathematics
Profession: Financial Analyst
Years Playing: 1 month
2+2 Member: Don't know.

For those who are interested I will totally geek out now. I'm pretty bored at work and took the time to analyse the responses so far. I had to clean the data a bit in the following ways:

<ul type="square">[*] For "2+2 Member" I used the "Reged" field not the actual member response.[*] I clean up a lot of the enginerds spellings and made a few loose interpretations for peoples "Degrees" and "Professions". Especially when there were multiple degrees and/or majors.[*] For "Years Playing" I always erred on the low end of any range and used the "serious" entry if there were multiple time periods. For example, "I've played hold'em since I was 2, but have only played seriously for 2-3 months" translates to 1/6 years.[/list]
And now the stats:

[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 318 Responses [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
