How old are you? Where do you live? Best poker achievement?

[benneh]

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.

best poker accomplishment is winning a $5 rebuy some months ago for $4000, been playing for... gosh I dunno...
I started playing online poker 2 years ago, I won a weekly round 2 for $100 (I only now realize how ridiculously lucky that was, I was awful), eventually busted out. Borrowed $5 from a friend, built it up with penny tables, then $5 sngs, eventually started doing well. Also won a $5 mtt on party for a couple thousand. Currently 8 tabling $15+1 turbo sngs on stars with occasional mtts thrown in when I have time (not often).
