I'm the old fart, I'm 48.

I live in Orange County, Ca. ( LA area)

I have a B.S. in Biochemistry Lehigh Univ. 1980 and an
M.D. Univ. of Miami. 1984.

I'm an avid sports fan, have season tickets to S.D. Chargers, L.A. Lakers, and the Angels ( whatever the hell
their name is) and spend a lot of time coaching basketball.

Haven't been to a movie in 4 years. Read a lot about
politics and history. My goal in life is to become a Congressman.

Began gambling for serious money when I played blackjack
in A.C. when the games were beatable. Stopped playing
blackjack when I was beat up in Sparks, Nevada in the "darkroom" by security along with my buddy, when we were spooking in the mid 80's. I like to think
that I was the first one ever to employ shuffle tracking
into play, which is described in several recent books.
I used to fly to the Bahamas and play in their
four deck game which was very beatable.

Made it to a final table once at the WSOP playing limit HE.
Came second place in early 90's in a Commerce NLH event. Lost at the final table this year in LHE at Commerce to
the tournament winner when AA was outrun by AK. That cost me around 40k.
Have won 1 MTT on Stars for ~$15,00 in last 6 months. Came in 3rd place at the Hustler this year in a
500 player MTT. Never played online until early 05.
