| So I'm bored today when I should be working, instead I'd like to start a new post. We all know Roy and Mike and the others on the bio page, what about the rest of the frequent posters? Who are you? Where do you live, what do you do? What's your favorite Beatles song? It would be nice to know some of the people behind the glib screen names (like mine, thanks again Go Bears). I'll start: As y'all know, my name is Eli. I'm 29, live in West LA, play B&M at Hollywood Park and Commerce, and occasionally in Vegas. I work in the film business, in theatrical advertising for a film distributor. Favorite Beatles song would have to be "Something," or perhaps "Let it Be." Anyone else? Don't make me a wank for starting a post that gets no responses, let's hear 'em. Eli | ||

| My first name is Dave. I am a lawyer from Pittsburgh. Also 29 years old. Because Pittsburgh has no B&M casinos or a regular game that I know of, I play online pretty frequently. I usually play on UB. Recently, I have been traveling for business a lot (and a recent vacation) so I have tried my hand at a few B&M games when time permits. I don't have a favorite Beatles song, although Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" always make me hum along. -Hokie95 "Richard, do I have a mark on my face?

My poker is play is strictly home games and on-line - no legal card rooms where I live.! And my favorite Beatles song is "In My Life" - album - "Rubber Soul" and I still have my Beatles scrapbook! | ||

| Ive only recently started posting but I love this forum and Im sure I will continue so I'll join in also. I am a police detective in a very large city. Ive been playing poker for years but have only been playing HoldEm seriously for about 3 months. I started playing play money and did pretty good but didnt enjoy it for obvious reasons. I then started playing real money (very small limits) and did quite a bit better. Ive averaged about 4.5 BB / hr over about 10000 hands so Im happy but still have a lot to learn. Ive decided I wont move up limits for a while although Im pretty sure I could by watching the tables at the next couple higher limits. Ive done a lot of reading (while playing) and am currently reading "Theory of Poker". I am also an avid woodworker. By the way, who are the Beatles? Just kidding, but I really dont like them. | ||

I absolutely love The Beatles so it's hard for me to come up with just one favorite, but if I had to....I'd go with, Got To Get You Into My Life. And I'm a die-hard Yankees fan so, "Go Yankees"! | ||

| Although I loved the Beatles at the time - especially the early stuff - I'm afraid I can't think of a single Fab Four song I can still tolerate. Neil Young has had more staying power with me. The best relatively recent song I've heard is "The Warmth" by Incubus. "Don't let the world bring you down. Not everyone here is that F-ed up and Cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive, experience the warmth before you grow cold" with Whale Songs for an introduction. My name is Lou. I have a Phd Candidate's degree in Mathematics from UCSD specializing in probabilty. I played Holdem in just about every Las Vegas Casino in the early 90's before moving back to San Diego. I am now semiretired and have been playing on line for a few months, mostly 3-6 and 5-10. | ||

| Lou, I have to agree, Incubus is definately one of the better bands on the modern scene. I say I don't like about 90% of new music put out, but incubus is definately a quality tune to me, and a lot of their more mellow songs get put on when I feel myself tilting online, Aqueous Transmission especially!

| My real name is Matt. I am a Brit, living in CT. I became interested in poker a year and a half ago when I good friend from back home, who plays came to visit. Bought Lee Jones' book, played some for play money online then, when I felt confident enough, went up the road to Foxwoods. I play there about once a month now (around 200 hours so far), also in a home game with some friends (low stakes, beers and laughs mostly). Beatles are the most overrated band in my opinion, not bad just overated. Elvis is king. Snorbolus | ||

I play mostly online and I've been to a B&M exactly twice. I have not been playing very long and I probably spend as much time reading posts as playing. The Denver Broncos are the premininent sports franchise on planet earth -- I will not argue about this. I love poker and generally try to keep my thoughts to myself as I know I should be doing far more learning and very little teaching. I like George Harrison's Beatle's stuff and my favorite new band would have to be 3 Doors Down, and Kill Bill is my favorite movie as of last week... | ||

| 29 year old market research analyst in Texas while awaiting opportunity to be accepted into a federal law enforcement position. Played a little poker in college--more in grad school--a lot more in the last 2 years. My buddies and I play a home game tourney about once every 3 weeks (tomorrow, we have 17 confirmed players, $20 entry, $20 rebuys for 2 hours)...won $350 ($700 pot) 3 weeks ago. Had a good run for almost $300 for the first time in a casino playing $2/$4, although Hokie 95 doesn't believe me...lol. Sorry Hokie--I'll get off my flame and give you credit for some pretty good and insightful posts. Play online at PP--have profited about $600 over the course of 8 months, playing a lot of .50/$1, $1/$2 and a little $2/$4. Playing with my buddies from work (all market research analysts, so they are big into the math of it) has made me a lot better, and without a doubt, I love playing, either online but more so in person. Good luck with the playing... RW | ||

| Ok English lesson number one : Shermans = Americans ( Sherman Tanks = Yanks ) Scousers = people from liverpool Buskers = er, um, people who sing songs really badly in Railway stations and have a hat there expecting you to put a few coins in, normally found singing " Hey Jude " or " American Pie " :-) Chasepoker on 16.

| Well, my name is Lee as you probably already know. I'm a 21 year old college student studying physics at West Virginia University. It's a great town, and it has slowly grown into my second home. Of course, my first home always has been and always will be Pittsburgh. I am not a huge Beatles fan, but I do have a lot of appreciation for their stuff. I'd have to say my favorite song is "Let It Be" simply because whenever I take a horrid online beat, I fire that on and it melts the anger away. My favorite Beatles album has to be Abbey Road, with Sgt Peppers taking a close second. I generally prefer the bluesy sound of Zeppelin though, with Houses of the Holy being my favorite album, and Going to California being my favorite song. Most of my real poker experience has come from online and play with my closest poker friends (2 guys). Anytime I get a live game, it's usually just for fun because the stakes are usually low. I generally play 3/6 online or the 30 and 50 dollar sit and go's, sometimes venturing into the 5/10. I'm definately a hold'em player, although I have recently been dabbling in omaha and omaha eight. I consider stud to be my weakest game, followed by stud eight. I've been playing poker since I was a kid, but only started taking it seriously a little over a year ago. On a side note, thanks for posting this Eli. After being a part of various internet forums for years, I have to say that this is the tightest knit of all of them, and I really love the atmosphere here. Getting to know everyone is a great bonus.

| that, of course is my real name but im also known as a crank, a geezer, and other things not suitable for this forum. Im a lot older than most of the posters which gets me in trouble some times. Believe it or not there are potholes in the road but you never see them when you're young--i certainly didn't. i appreciate this site a great deal --it helps keep me young.
