Re: How old are you? Where do you live? Best poker achievement?
Just a realtive newb to MTTs....
32 - August 8 I live in Ohio, with my wife (we got married Sept. 18, 2004) and 2 dogs, Jack & Whippet. Those are our only kids as of now. Many IRCers already know this, but I am a funeral director/embalmer, and own 3 funeral homes(1 in my hometown and 2 in surrounding communities) Favorite movies would include: Braveheart, Million Dollar Baby, Star Wars (ep IV-VI), and Godfather I & II. I really haven't ever had a great poker accomplishment compared to the rest of the forum, but personally, 2 stand out to me: 1 - Finishing 5th out of 410 in some Paradise freeroll that I somehow qualified for that had the winner getting a seat to their Million Dollar MTT, and an entry to WSOP(this weas late last year).... for 5th, I got a whopping $65. 2 - A few months ago, out in Vegas, my wife and I went to Mattista's to eat, then did $200 worth of damage at Red Square... it was after this that I decided that it would be a great idea for me to play some NL HE at the Mirage.... I bought in for $200 at a 1/2 table around midnight and at 7:00 am as I staggered out, I have a little over $800.... Like I said.. nothing major, but fun for me. Here's a pic of the Mrs. and me: Gomez & Wife And a pic of the dogs: Jack & Whippet Oh yeah... I'll be at Foxwoods on August 5 looking to play some of their daily MTTs... If anyone else will be there, let me know. |

Re: How old are you? Where do you live? Best poker achievement?
I turned 23 about 2 months ago.
I live in Chico, California. Too young for that stuff. Go to Chico State, studying Journalism. I think it'd be great to be able to be a poker player/writer when I graduate. Office Space. My best poker accomplishment is 1) 5th in a Party Friday Special and 2) playing the main event. I think it was cool to be in the main event after playing for less than a year (a year ago I was just getting online, the highest i had played was $10 house games. and i sucked.) Oh, and I guess busting Erin Ness in the main event is an accomplishment as well. |

Here goes. I'm 35, married with first born on the way. My day job is in advertising.
My best poker accomplishment--by a wide margin--is cashing in the 2005 WSOP ME after winning my seat in a live SuperSat at the Rio. |
