Best poker acomplishment? How long been playing? I've been playing in some form or another since I was about 15, but only figured out that I didn't know what I was doing last July, and have done much better since then. Best accomplishments since then include a bunch of final tables, including 4th out of 3500 in a 20k Party freeroll. Also getting my first MTT win in a 99-person MTT was nice.

I'm a psych major, and a history minor. I definitely like history more than psych, but for some reason I'd rather major in psych.

<font color="red"> Favorite movie? Music? </font>
Love Rounders... I pretty much like all forms of music, don't really have a favorite band/artist at the moment.

6th in the party 500k for 13,000 was good. Been playing since I turned 17, so basically my senior year in high schoo. Been play serious for about 9 months now. These days I'm sort of turned off by tournaments. Somehow the idea of playing for 6 hours to a lose a coinflip and make 5 buy ins instead of 200, isn't all that appealing. Go figure! Lately I've been playing NL 1000 on party with some very mild success. Hopefully I'll stop being a donkey and learn how to play deep stacked poker better.

FWIW I am just as sarcastic in real life as I am online.

Feel free to add any other information or pictures about yourself you want to share. I enjoy your posts and blogs very much, but the writer in me can't resist pointing out that this should be titled the "semi-annual" thread. Biannual means every two years.

3rd in Bodog 100k for $9200 in August was my best cash. My biggest accomplishment has been turning my in-shambles $200 bankroll I had on Thanksgiving, into $8000 as of yesterday. It's been a hell of a turnaround for me. I started playing in July '04, but didn't have any clue what I was doing until about March of '05.
