Sure. I've known of and played poker for about 10 years - originally just as a friendly muck around game of 5card draw with family.. About 5 years ago I learnt of NLHE and was playing with mates for a few months, until I started playing limit 5/10 at my local.. I went on a huge rush and won thousands per week (it was redic soft - I remember one hand where I had A6o and the flop was AAA - and the betting was capped every street to the river with like 4 runners without me even raising ONCE until the river where I capped..)

Eventually I moved to 10/20 and ran great.. Then moved to a half pot 5/10 game with no capped buy-in.. At this point I was working a 9 - 5 in commerial sales training, then after work play til 12 or later then off to work and then a lot of weekend in there to.. It was the sickest game ever, I was averaging over $100/hr and slowly made the decision after being fucked around at work about going overseas to run a callcentre that I would play for a living, and have been doing so ever since.. Now over two years infact almost 3 now.. About 8 months ago I decided to seriously challenge myself to making my online MTT game great as the half pot game was replaced by FP and NLHE and it wasnt as profitable and I was getting a little bored of the grind.. I joint PTP soon after and have been an avid member there since then and feel it is a real asset to my career..

Recently I have won a decent amount of PLO8 tournies (I am now a mixed game player - tend to think NLHE is a bit of a crapshoot) Have won a live HORSE tourney at Crown Casino for Melbourne Poker Champs, several deep runs live in stacked fields, and most recently a heart breaking 7th in the Sunday HORSE on PS this weekend gone..

So these days I split my time between online MTTs backed on PTP and live cash games to keep myself alive and my BR moving steadily up..

That's a bit about me.. In the future - I am going to be coached by one of the best PLO/8 and 6max NLHE players on the net - Nsinger

Am planning on making it to WSOP next year - ship da bracelet!

And basically become a MTT balla and simply have cash games as a sidenote of my career!

A little about me complete
