The biannual How are you? Where do you live? thread

[marchron]

How old are you? Birthday? 25; July 13.

Where do you live? Mishawaka, Indiana. Say it five times fast, I dare ya.

Are you married? Girlfriend/Boyfriend? Children? No to all, that I know of. I did get drunk in Vegas, though, so you never know.

Occupation besides poker? A menial day job I really must leave soon for my own sanity.

If studying (or if graduated), what and where? B.A., English, University of Notre Dame.

Favorite movie? Music? Movies: The Usual Suspects and Se7en. Music: just about anything with a decent uptempo. I'll like anything for about half an hour; then I decide if I've heard too much of it or not. That said, my favorite band is U2.

Best poker acomplishment? How long been playing? I won just over $1000 in a $24+2 MTT at Full Tilt. I've been playing online for almost a year, and playing in bar-room no-limit tourneys for about a year before that. I've been playing penny-ante jacks-or-better type games my entire life, though.

Feel free to add any other information or pictures about yourself you want to share. I'm a Micro-Limit poster normally, but I lurk here to improve my tournament play because, well, that's where the big money is. I've made about $500 grinding it out at baby-limit tables, and I've easily won $2000+ in cash and satellite seats in SNG's/MTT's. So forgive me in advance if I ask a really stupid question or make a really donkish statement.

I maintain (well, "maintain" is a poor choice of words) my own blog; address in my location.

Insult the Cubs or Notre Dame and I'll cut you, mother[censored]er.

Been playing full time for about 3 months and fairly serious for about 2 years now.

My favorite MTT win is a PStars deep stack. Rocking the 200NL cash games for 10+PTBB/100 is quickly becoming my favorite accomplishment though.

I'm 26. My birthday was last Wednesday. However, the waitress at the restaurant I went to eat with some friends said I looked 17, lol. And some people say I act 12. So who really knows how old I am.

Born in San Diego, live in San Diego. I've never lived anywhere else.

No significant other, etc. I'm a nerdy bachelor.

I'm co-manager of a daytrading hedge fund. I'm actually trading while I type this.

I graduated from UCSD with my BA in Economics and BS in Computer Science. I have yet to actually "work for the man" and use either degree.

Favorite movie is Forrest Gump by a landslide. I've never been that interested in music.

My biggest cash was that $30 tournament I got 2nd in recently. I made about 3k. I've been playing for about 1.5 years online I think. I've been playing elsewhere since my umbilical cord was cut. I play poker to blow off steam and relax from my (often-stressful) job. Its funny how I can trade stock positions worth tens of thousands and I don't get nervous but I get terribly nervous when it gets into the lategame playing poker online.
