I have been playing draw and stud poker since I was a boy. I started playing holdem and some omaha cash games two years ago. I have been a serious player for the last year or so and started playing MTTs in September 2005.
My greatest accomplishment is a 5th place finish in a PP 500K guarantee back in October.
I have not played much poker this year (06) and have been reading/studying moreso than playing. My game has a long way to go.
