I'm Dan. I can't 1ega11y buy cigarettes.

I've been able to legally buy cigarettes longer than you've been alive.

I've been alive so long that it's never been illegal for me to buy cigarettes that I'm aware of. The 'must be 18' law started when I was in college. I routinely bought them for my Uncle after I was old enough to walk to the store (~6).

LOL... When I first tried a cigarette, I was in 5th grade and bought them directly off the ice cream truck for 75 cents a pack!

No age requirement and I am sure a lot cheaper than today. (no idea what they cost today as I do not smoke)

Hi, my name is Lars. I'm Norwegian and pretty old (32). I play around 10-30 hours of poker each week, in addition to a full-time job. My gf plays even more, she's a total SNG bot.

I used to play MTTs exclusively. I've won lots more than I ever thought I would at MTTs, and now play $50-$300s on tons of different sites. I love OnGame's players to death.

I've played for two years now, and always dabbled somewhat in SNGs. Now I've taken them up more seriously, moving up to $100s after playing $50s for like a year. MTTs are just spazzing me out right now (which they usually do after a biggish win, for some reason).

I've never played live, since live poker is illegal in Norway. Me and the gf (who's a hot azn obv) are going to Vegas for the first time this September, can't wait [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Also, for some reason, I use parenthesises (wtf, how do you spell that) way too much when typing.

My name is Matt, Im new to the community and would love to get good at MTTs. I love poker... I've had some decent results so far but would really love to improve. Basically, everyone who was in Vegas playing WSOP events is my hero.

Jack from Chicago, older nittish information technology guy - NL live games, mostly donkaments..luck-boxed a #1 in a decent $2.5K MTT for over $70K in my first year and a few locals..dry year two so far.

Enjoy the local 5/10 NL cash 1K max games...will play 10/20-20/40 limit if spouse insists on an evening at Hollywood Aurora...played first WSOP this year but lets not talk about it just yet...meh results in Venetian $550, Midwest Regional and a few WSOP-C's

Mosy enjoyable non-poker degen story is having blackjack tables closed on me+playing partner at Le Casino de Monte- Carlo ("American" salon) after monster rush for many K/francs two nites in a row with huge gallery of side betting going on...jeez, we were not cheating, they just must have thought we were up to something more than simple counting or they were just tired of the silly americans + gallery taking their money (it wasn't all that much in the grand scheme of things)

have learned a great deal from all of you posting 2+2...need to grow a pair, try out on Stars, post some HH's and absorb the ritual beatings

Hey, I play MTT's now probably ~30-50 hours a week (guesstimate) or whenever I'm bored. I've had some decent results and I hope they'll continue. I started out in LHE and moved to MTTs after I won this freeroll (as part of a bonus offering from a pokerroom skin) that was back in November of '05. Been playing MTTs ever since and suck at LHE now.

I'm Sean -

I tried my hand at limit online about 6months ago and was doing ok but had a great nack of coming home drunk and deciding to try my hand at NL.

Started up with poker again recently playing sngs at the low levels and on the advice of someone started trying satellite mtts in to high stakes tourneys.

So far I have won 2 seats from 3 attempts at the party 300k qualifier and have a very basic understanding of mtt startegy and wouldnt mind cashing in the 300k today....

Hello 2+2. Been a consistant lurker here but not much of a fun of forums. Still, I felt I had to register one day and decided this to be the one.

Looking forward to discussions in the HSMTT and MSNL-parts. Of course I will keep my eyes on BBV too. =)

Otherwise, I play the sunday tourneys and other in ranges between $50+r > $1000. Cashgames are everything from 2-4 > 5-10. Also have the amazing ability to play on PartyPoker where I play the most.
