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

[jtomon]

I'll update my 6 mos ago post since I now have kid(s) on the way, and to update my progress and New Year's Resolution.

32 Married, with twin girls on the way in May
Live in Allentown, PA
Work in corporate finance but am considering leaving to pursue my doctorate.
Biggest accomplishment has probably been turning into a winning player of the last 9 mos. to a year, and so far keeping my NY resolution to keep better track of everything I play. Singular accomplishment is 2 straight FT's my last 2 trips to vegas.
One thing I'd like to do better is never click on Party's blackjack icon ever again!

I cant help myself, especially after happy hour w/ a few beers in me....Party Poker Blackjack is to me what Craps is to Tj Cloutier.

Married- 2 daughters-4 years and 8 months
unemployeed golf teaching pro-winter sucks for the golf business-thank goodness for a wife that's a physician.
BS Accounting from Pepperdine University

FT on PS $10 rebuy. Making enough to pay for a Dell 6000 laptop, a $2500 vet bill, and $1500 in wine (wife liked that)
Started playing in home tourney in March 2003, just before Moneymaker won the WSOP. Won 1st home tourney-isn't 6 10 off a coin flip with KK? Knocked out tourney host and fellow 2+2er TenaciousA on that hand. He's still bitter.

As one can see, mostly just a lurker-how many 'LOL' and 'LMAO' comments are needed in each thread? Most of the time I think of something to say, it's already been said. I'm a little slow.

Big Lebowski is favorite movie, music tastes range from queen to coltrane, all sorts of stuff in between, basically anything.
Best poker accomplishment was winning the weekly TLB the last week of 2005, I was on one hell of a heater. Biggest tournament was winning the $20 rebuy that week. I've been playing for over 2 years now I guess. Not sure exactly when I started.
