22 year old (to be 23 in 2 weeks) college student, physics major, basically need 1 more class to graduate, play poker to pay for school and live a lavish life for a guy in my position. after graduation i will most likely continue playing poker until it ceases to become profitable, at which point i will attempt to use my degree to either get a job or continue my education. i also want to move to italy for some time within the next few years.

has anyone noticed the players usually seem to be a little more competent?

40, father of 2, Physics degree (hoping to discuss complex conjugates with Daryn someday), management position in manufacturing.

Up a few $G's playing micro limits. Beats me why I don't try higher limits. Just a tight ass I guess.

You said you think online play is better than live play. Are you playing on Paradise? I hear the games are tougher there. On Party, I see way more action than I ever see in a live game.

10 months ago - no one would have even argued the fact that online play was much tougher than live play. However, with the increase in marketing...the fish joined online play in droves...thus bringing the online game to an equivalent level as that of live play. However, it should probably be expected that these players will get better and the online game will once again be tougher than the live game.

Even at Party!! But if you want softer games...dont play at Paradise.

30 yr - Father of 2 sons - as soon as they get this whole potty training thing down - we will quickly begin our hold'em training. I am a CPA and an MBA....However, currently I am an "internet marketer" and poker player full time. Life is sweet - and if I ever have to wear a tie again - I will be highly disappointed and saddened to the point depression.
