Re: The biannual How are you? Where do you live? thread
How old are you? Birthday?
28, April 8th Where do you live? Philadelphia, PA (in the Yunk, if you know what that is). Are you married? Girlfriend/Boyfriend? Children? Girlfriend...no children or previous wives. Occupation besides poker? Computer Engineer If studying (or if graduated), what and where? Graduated from Penn State in '99 w/ BS of Comp Eng. Favorite movie? Music? Music - Ween, Cake, Radiohead, John Scofield, Pink Floyd, Beck, and much, much, more. Movies - Coming To America, Big Lebowski, Holy Grail, and again, much more... Best poker acomplishment? How long been playing? I've been playing for almost 1.5 years. I started out playing in home games with my friends, and then moved to the free bar tourney circuit for a while (lol). I won a $25 gift certificate to Absolute poker from a bar tourney, started playing online, and didn't stop. I ran that $25 into about $200, before I lost it back. I then deposited $150 and built that into my current bankroll. That is probably my best poker accomplishment (that I have only made one deposit and I have been playing with it and building it up for about 9 months). I have won or placed in the top 5 or so of a bunch of smaller buyin tourneys, but my biggest single win is $1080 from a $22 180 man SnG. No big deal I know, but I am sure my biggest win is still to come. And, I am looking forward to it...

Re: The biannual How are you? Where do you live? thread
Hola!
My name is Gary and i'm currently going to shippensburg university in Pennsylvania, but i live in Maryland. I am studying geoenvironmental studies and criminal justice. I have been playing poker for 3 years now, primarily holdem and omaha, but i find myself drifting to stud more and more these days. My biggest poker accomplishments were winning a small-field 50 dollar buy-in on fulltilt worth 725 and finishing second in a 20 dollar buy-in on pokerroom worth $780. When i first started out playing a couple of years ago i built my bankroll up to 1280 in a couple of months and lost 1200 in one day. I like to think i have a little more control now. Peace
