Presenting... better know a pogger

I think its highly likely eskimo is levelling us though I would rate chances of an eskimo level at 99,99%, a mets level at 86% and a HBE level at 47%.

Eskimo is in Australia, and is definitely male and probably not 15.

tl;dr (I'm just speaking off the cuff here and it's in no particular order.)

So yeah, my name is Chris, I'm 23 years old. I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex working as a private music instructor. I teach horn to middle school and high school students in the public schools around here.

I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin in August 2006 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Horn Performance. Although I love teaching right now, my overall career goal is to play with a professional orchestra. Not necessarily one of the big orchestras, but getting to do what you want and getting paid for it is the nuts.

I got into serious poker playing right after Moneymaker won the big one. I didn't deposit any money until maybe 6 months after that. I've made decent money doing this, but I'm by no stretch of the imagination a good player. I've won a couple of tournaments, but never anything for bigger than $250. In fact, my biggest score in my gambling career was hedging the Mansion Steelers bet at the beginning of the NFL season. (Thank you Mansion!)

I've always been a game player. My grandpa taught me cribbage when I was 6 and I thought that was the best game ever. That is until my sister wanted to play too. 3 handed cribbage sucks! I love my sister, but 3 handed cribbage is really bad.

While at UT, I took extensive course work in mathematics, thinking that I would get a math degree as well. When push came to shove, I had a choice to make. I could either do my math homework or practice my horn. So I chose the horn and all of that work was for naught. Who knows? Maybe I'll go back to school, finish up my math and become an actuary or something like that.

I don't know why, but I absolutely love orchestral music. If you ask me for my faves, I couldn't really tell you because there's so much great stuff out there. I'll tell you guys that right now, my favorite composers are Beethoven, Brahms, R. Strauss, Samuel Barber, and Shostakovich. Of course all of that is subject to change.

I got married in January 2006 and it's the greatest thing I've ever done. How I ever convinced her to marry me, I'll never know. But it's great. Nuff said! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If anybody has any questions for me, please ask them and I'll try to get to them as soon as I can.

tl;dr again. A POKER STORY

funny story, I entered a $10 PLO8 tourney on Paradise about 2 years ago about 2 hours before I had to be at work. I was a massive chipleader going right up to the bubble, but I had to go to work. So, I went to work.

Luckily, I was working as a pizza delivery driver at the time. I ended up taking an order for delivery and going home to finish the tournament. I had bled about half my stack while I was gone, but I was still tournament chipleader.

I ended up picking up aces + 2 babies on my first hand back and someone had already pushed against me. Easy call and I won a huge pot when everyone thought I was gone (since I had been).

From then on, I pushed on just about every hand. I won just about all of my coin flips and 60/40s to win the whole thing.

So there's my story about how I missed 20-30 minutes in the final stages of a relatively fast tournament and still won. I thought it was pretty cool.

Okay, I'm a loser. Berate me now.

3-handed cribbage is no good, but 4 handed rocks. Get a fourth [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
