Who: I'm a 37 year old bachelor. I teach college stats for a living in Kentucky.

Where: Live, my "home" B&M room is Harrah's riverboat in Metropolis, Illinois. I don't like that room because it only has 4 tables and spreads 4/8 limit and 1/2 NL holdem. I occasionally make trips to Tunica. I've never been to Vegas but I hope to fix that this year.

What: I'm a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. I play lots of games and most of my play is low buy-in online tournaments. My favorite game is five-card draw. I like almost all poker games. NLHE isn't my favorite, but I don't mind it. I'd say my least favorite game is omaha high, mainly because limit omaha high sucks and I suck at PLO.

Online I'm mostly playing tourneys in the $3-$10 range or cash games at the $1/$2 to $2/$4 level. I notoriously play below my bankroll. I was intending on trying to play higher in 2007, but with all the recent troubles I've pulled most of my money off the internet and I'm just going to amuse myself with little MTTs as long as I can.

Live, I play mostly holdem because that's all I have ready access to. I'll play limit holdem up to 10/20 and NLHE up to 2/5 if the game has a couple of donks. I'll play limit omaha/8 or stud instead when I have the chance. I'd love to play a small stakes mixed game live.

I'm also notorious for seeking out the most obscure forms of poker online and playing them. I used to play the B2B network a lot because they had draw tournaments and unusual games like sökö and Telesina. I'd like to play more Badugi-in my limited experience I think it could surpass 2-7 TDL in popularity. The little Badugi tournaments at Planet Poker this week have been very soft [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
