My best poker accomplishment is simply being a winning online player. I haven't won any big multi's or anything, although i did almost win a NLH tourney for a buy in to the WSOP. as a poker player I consider myself simply tight and disciplined. I'm going to spend the next month or so rereading my books. I want to be a big winner, rather than just a small winner.

Other things you may be interested in:
Hobbies: sudoku, golf, tennis, and my cat pumpkin.

I got my screenname from some guys who were older than me in highschool. They used to go around holding out a ball cap during lunch asking people for beermoney donations.

Drinking, I don't do it as much anymore. Although I like to occasionally tie one on. I drank a lot in college and once drank half of a handle of vodka in about 45 minutes. That was a huge blackout.

I am an underachiever who appreciates free time and socializing more than academic/workplace success.

I have no attention to detail, and I think that holds me back as a poker player. I am a big picture guy.

I am extremely disorganized. My apt/office is always a mess.

The best decision I ever made in life was to go to graduate school where I met my wife who is from Thailand. I will be moving there in May. We will spend time there, and I'm not sure what I will do as an occupation. (Maybe Mr. Mom.) My wife and our relationship is the most important person/thing to me. If I hadn't gotten kicked out of AFROTC after a poor semester academically, i never would have come to grad school, and never would have met my life. Fate is a strange thing.

I hate using new computer software packages but enjoy programming in C.


I enjoy immature humor and creating awkward situations.

Favorite foods: Lobster, Pizza, Thai food, Roast Beef sandwiches..(the kind u get at kelley's roast beef in boston), and ravioli's. I drink a lot of Coca Cola.

I like women who are extremely feminine and gentle.

My favorite athletes are Pete Sampras and Barry Sanders.

I can throw a football very well.

I'm good at ping pong.

I'm terrible at basketball.

I won a wiffle ball tournament in college.

I can't dance and I have no rhthym.

I am probably dyslexic.

I am the youngest of 3 kids.

I wish my unit was bigger.

I've been caught masturbating.

I'm really good at Tetris.

My wife is much smarter than I am.

My brother went to 2 ivy league schools, and I was lucky to get into a state school.

I love Colorado, Charleston, SC, Hilton Head, and Las Vegas.

I would assume hedging currency risk for us companies with overseas business, but I could be wrong.

Occupation besides poker? I'm a graduate student in philosophy.

Best poker acomplishment? How long been playing? Been playing for just over a year. So far, no big accomplishments other than paying my rent playing stud. NLHE tournies are probably my next poker project, I think.

I'm a devout Catholic, and I considered a priestly vocation for the first couple of years of my undergraduate career.

I enjoy playing racquetball and soccer. I'm also a decent pool player.

In high school I played a lot of the MMORPG's (Everquest, Asherons' Call, etc.) and made a tidy profit (a couple thousand dollars altogether) by selling items and characters on eBay.

Tolkien is my favorite author. I read some fiction, but most of my fun reading is by authors like C.S. Lewis, Josef Pieper, and David Sklansky [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].
