27 years old

Girfriend for about 6 months now, and she's supportive enough of the poker.

Just moved to Bowie, MD from Silver Spring.

Civil Engineer by day, poker player by night, it's about 50-50 right now. Still thinking about going full-time, but as years go by, that's becoming more unlikely unless I make a major score, for social reasons mainly.

Been playing 10+ years.

Movies - depends on the day you ask me, but among the rotation are Good Will Hunting, Almost Famous, Goodfellas, and more recently Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

A handful of wins in 100+ player, $100+ buy-in events, both online and live. Largest for probably $8K. Won my seat to the 2004 WSOP Main Event on Stars, but didn't last through Day One.

Its gonna be hard winning a WSOP event on 1 days experience. Because I'm sure you would never play poker for money before you turn 21.

But good luck on your attempt

I am 21 for a couple more months
I work from home and play poker online at the same time for a double income.
