Presenting... better know a pogger

Fair enough. My turn.

My name is Kirk. I'm a 22-year old kid on Lexapro living with his parents. I went to Penn State University for 3 years before deciding to drop out and come back home to New Hampshire where I am currently working full-time as a "Statistical Assistant" at Liberty Mutual.

I was also a math genius when I was a young kid. At 4, I was doing multiplication tables; at 5, long division, and I could factor a pretty mean quadratic equation when I was 7. Due to this, I still have ambitions of becoming an actuary once I decide to go back to school...which is still on the agenda.

As you can probably tell, I have a very good relationship with my parents. They've had my back throughout the last 2-3 years which have easily been the hardest of my life.

I am currently dating a girl who I met at PSU. We've been dating for a little over a year and are actually just back together after she stabbed me in the heart back in April...

I like to drink on occasion, but don't smoke, although I'll light up a cigar occasionally. Just don't tell my mom. I have absolutely no interest in discussing politics/religion and feel most of you should be ashamed of yourself in this thread.

I used to be a cross-country runner back in high-school, and some of you may have seen a picture of me in the OOT Photo Directory. One of my finest moments. I don't run anymore which is too bad because I used to be quite good. My athletic capabilities now are limited to golf, bowling, and softball once a week.

Poker-wise...I play when I feel compelled to play. I'm decent enough to make money but I'm simply not dedicated enough to make the amount that some people make. I am currently at $200NL although my BR dictates I should be lower, heh.

There's a lot more about me that I can't really fit into here, but it's mostly depressing BS about why I'm no longer in school that nobody wants to hear. Now, it's your turn.

Haha. I do the same thing with smoking/drinking. Drink occasionaly, never smokes, except cigars occasionally. I didn't think anyone else my age did that.

[shortline99]

Drinker/non-smoker here. Smoking stuff just pisses the hell out of me. But I'll take straight vodka shots forever.

Random question: what does Kyro stand for?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not a damn thing. I used to play Counter-Strike several years ago and it was a random name I picked that I thought sounded cool.

IM IN on this game. I am a 28 year old Branch Manager for a Insurance and Financial Services Company. Ive worked with this company for the last 6 years. Before that, I did 4 years in the US Army.

I currently reside in Columbia SC, but I grew up in Massachusetts. I am a HUGE Red Sox and NE Patriots fan.

I am not married, and I have no kids. I have been dating a girl for 1.5 years and it has been rocky, but I believe we can make it. I do have 2 cats however. One of them is flaming gay.

I live in a loft apartment in downtown Columbia with a beautiful view of the State House. Its a really cool bachelor pad because of how spacious it is, the 18 foot ceilings, and the pillars from floor to ceiling.

I havent played much poker in the last couple months, due to me having been playing WAY WAY too much for several months before that, and it getting in the way of other things in my life. I play small stakes, like 25NL and 50 NL cash games, and small MTTs.

My biggest poker accomplishment so far has been winning 2 MTTs in a week. A $20 buy in with 420 entrants, and a $30 buy in with 387 entrants.

I also enjoy rollerblading, tennis, volleyball, ping pong, and Ww (obviously).

oh yeah, and my handle derives from my 1st initial, last name, and middle initial. I wish i could say it was something more exciting.

My claims to fame are these:

1. I am related to John Howland, of the Mayflower.

2. I have been a best man in a wedding 3 times--((Im awesome at best man speeches))

3. I am ridiculously easy to get along with IRL, not so much on the internet.

Kyro, I'm also seriously considering becoming an actuary.

[amplify]

My name is Kevin and I live in beautiful Cincinnati Ohio. I am 36 years old, twice divorced. Yeah, lucky at cards, unlucky at love. Or vice versa, some days I really can't tell. I have a 16 year-old daughter who is beautiful and typically teenaged.

I am currently a marketing consultant having somehow found my way into this by way of careers in the restaurant and IT businesses. I started a small company with a couple of partners a year ago which has stayed small so far in part due to my complete lack of motivation. I don't like the business we do. I'm thinking of becoming a cowboy.

I have been taking a break mostly from poker due to a combination of exhaustion and poor bankroll management. I actually played some limit today and it was fun and profitable so who knows, maybe I'll start again.

What else are people talking about? Their politics and religion? No thanks, don't want to talk about that. I did go to high school with Carmen Electra. She wasn't called that then, of course.

I used to hang out in bad places and shoot a lot of pool but I don't do that any more. The bad places that is, I still shoot pool. I quit smoking after 20 years 6 months ago, thank God. Awful habit.

Now I just read. A lot. Currently a lot of philosophy but it's different things all the time. Now, there's a lot more than anyone ever needs to know about me. Peace.

[His Boy Elroy]

Amp, my college roommate at UC went to Princeton. What was Carmen's name back then?

[amplify]

Tara Patrick, no relation to porn star Tera Patrick. She was like 12-13 when I knew her and didn't ever recognise her until some of my high school friends told me who she was.

i'm 26 and i live in vancouver, canada, although i spend more time outside of canada than i do in it. i'm a british citizen but apart from the first three years of my life, some summers and a year in my early 20s, i don't live there. i was almost deported from canada earlier this year. i once left malaysia before they deported me, i'm unsure what my current status there is. i lived in a diplomatic compound in riyadh for the worst seven months of my life.

i sorta proposed recently to a pinay in san francisco, but she is living with another guy and i'm dating one girl from argentina and one girl from korea and probably this ridiculously sweet and cute mehicana in the very near future. it's kind of a [censored] up situation. don't ask.

i don't really have a job or a career. when people ask me what i do i lie outrageously. i've been telling people i'm a recruiter for a right wing think tank lately. i have a degree in comp sci from ubc, i was only a programmer for about two months before i realized it was destroying my soul. so then i got into advertising, banking and sales before i realized those two were destroying my soul. i worked for a while painting for film productions, but the hours are long and crappy and the work is inconsistent. right now i'm enjoying depleting my investments and my savings before i go back to school to learn to teach, probably.

i swim a lot, and love to sail but don't do it nearly enough. i like books, but not fiction so much. i watch lost, big love and the sopranos whenever they're on, and law and order six times a day. top gear on bbc is my favorite show though.

i play some poker, but only so i can buy expensive clothes. i should have been born italian instead of irish.

[MDoranD]

talentdeficit,

I have a feeling you and I would be good friends IRL.

That is all.
