[akashra]

..I'm fairly new to really getting into MTT's ..

But i've been playing poker for several years. After graduating college 2 years ago (CIS with honors).. I worked for a little while, didn't like it. Quit. Read Hold'Em For Advanced Players and For 6 months all I did was go sit at the bicycle club or other LA casino's at generally 4-8 tables, but anywhere from 2-4 to 10-20 ... I was making money consistantly, but couldn't take the swings when I had to pay rent and the new 2005 car i had bought while working.. amongst other bills... I started working again, and now I play online most days after work .. 3-6 tabling 2-4 or 3-6 tables and making consistant profit on usually Empire and UB right now..

Look for Akashra / Akashra777 .. Also HU in 20-50$ UB .. or in the STT's .. 20-50$

I've been getting into the MTT's more often though recently and played my first 100+ buy-in the Saturday before this actually - after winning the first 10 person SNG (12$) I played in for a TEC... Finished 8th in this out of 131 and ended up with 524$ .. my first one at 100+ tho..

So I wouldn't say i'm new .. but still I know I have a lot to learn tournament wise.. reading harrington v2 right now. and studying whenever i'm off calls here at work ; ) ..
