Hi

Just wanted to post and say Hi, I think this is a pretty nice forum you guys have here.

I'm not going to bore you with a lot of intricate detail, but I would like to give you some background so you know where I am coming from when I comment on a hand or situation.

I currently make a living as a tournament specialist, playing primarily online with a few live tournaments every month. I have been fortunate enough to be successful on a semi consistent basis, and I intend to improve my game and move up in buy in size steadily. I play primarily on Full Tilt, where I have won each regularly scheduled 24 + 2
guarantee tournament at least once, except for what is now the 16k. My best accomplishment was winning the 8k tourn 3 nights in a row in early Dec 05. That was just part of an amazing rush where I managed to make 12 final tables in 9 days. Haven't done that well since then, but you can usually find me on a final table a couple of times a week.

As for my personal life, I am 44, with a wife and 2 daughters age 20 and 6. I live in western Michigan and spend my free time playing golf when there is no snow on the ground.
