I thought we should have a triumvirate of Danes, so I'll post, too.

How old are you?
33

Where do you live?
Odense, Denmark (where Bobber studies German), but I work in Copenhagen (where Gelford lives)

Are you married? Girlfriend/Boyfriend? Children?
Girlfriend, four years and counting. Three-year-old daughter. Yes, thanks, it was a great first date! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Occupation besides poker?
Ph.D. student

If studying (or if graduated), what and where?
BA Classical philology, University of Copenhagen. MSc Information science, Royal School of Library and Information Science.

Favorite movie? Music?
I'm an opera fan, but ever since we got a new, stupid opera house, people are anxious to get in there to be seen, so it's hard to get tickets. Consequently, I'm drifting towards movie music (Williams, Zimmer, Shore etc.). The answer to both questions are in fact "The English Patient".

Best poker acomplishment? How long been playing? I've been playing for two years. I can now pay rent with my poker winnings, but then my rent is kinda low. I really want to play stud and stud/8 exclusively, but the Crypto monthly bonus is having a strange hold on me, so I play hold'em too - even though I hate it and I firmly believe it's a cave dweller's game (I do win at it, though, but I always feel dirty and ashamed for playing it). I need some sort of bonus 12 steps programme, because I have no power over the $180/mo. Crypto bonus (Inter, Plex & Sun). My biggest accomplishment was running at +10BB/100 in the Crypto $1/$2 over 3000 hands, but then that went south for whatever reason (yeah, yeah ... sample size, variance etc.). I also placed in the final five in eight consecutive stud/8 MTTs on Paradise a year or so ago, but people were playing so badly, I think my mobile phone could have made the final table on a regular basis. Come to think of it, my only accomplishment is being polite, supportive and friendly at the tables rather than screaming at my fellow players, abusing newbies and making explicit assumptions about the sexual habits of other people's mothers. That's actually something.

I would like to add that this a great forum, and I hope everybody will put up with my really stupid questions until the day comes that I may advice people myself rather than just getting tutored for free.

Happy playing and beware of the 8.
