SSNL, what's your story?

[RockRattler]

31 years old and working full time in my own company as a software developer/ Consultant. This means no 9-5 and very flexible hours. I would definitely recommend setting up your own business for the 9-5 haters. It's probably more stressful and the hours might end up beeing more but it's worth it.

I have a University degree in IT and Ecomnomics.

I have been playing poker for about 3 years on and off. Last 1½ year has been spent playing 6max cash games where I currently play 100NL.

Started playing 10 nl in March, had great coaching help from multiple 200/400 NL players. With their help, I got up to 100 nl sometime this summer. I just started grad school, and so far, I've been lucky enough to have paid for my tuition, rent, and computer all from just a few hours a day hunting fish. Poker isn't really my ultimate ambition, but rather a method of getting there, but I really enjoy it (except when people hit sick 2 and 4 outers on me for stacks). Since I've never uploaded my own cash, I feel like whatever I make is great, and it doesn't bother me quite as much when I lose a stack (though, like I said, I still don't like it). I've also been lucky enough to meet some great people, and hopefully our friendships will last after we decide to move on from poker.

Speaking of which, I'm always looking to meet new players that I can learn from or that can learn from me, so if you are in Eugene, OR (where I'm doing grad school) or know how to use AIM, message me on here and I'll send you my AIM name.

2004 - Started playing live low-stakes limit holdem, read a bunch of poker books, got hooked

2005 - Started playing online, mostly mtts, some stts, exclusively on pokerroom because I had a MAC. Owned pokerroom mtts enough that I thought I was good.\

2006 - Got a pc, started playing mtts everywhere else, primarily on Stars. Had enough success that I decided to quit the job I hated and play full time. Quit in August, got married in September, first day full time was Oct 1. Spent that day yelling at cspan. Wonderful timing.

I've played ~ 250k hands of nl 200/nl 400 since then, along with a lot of tourneys. Have also spent time learning the horse games and draw games but consider nl cash my main game. Glad I play full time and plan to continue indefinitely.
