Hey just joined the site today. I am 25 years old, a part time player (30 hrs/week approx).  My Stars name is hithenose (don’t play on FTP due to a long story)  I currently live in Spain with my girlfriend and had a part time teaching job this year that just finished.  This is the first poker site that I have joined, I never got into threads on the 2p2 or p5 forums

I’ve played different forms of poker as a kid for nickles or dimes (mostly draw and 7 card stud).  In college is when I started to put more time into it no limit.  I was able to play at a somewhat close Indian Casino for my first live play (and tourny win), and played online a bit on PartyPoker.  By Sr year I think PP was banned in US so i switched to …..p://FTP.  I really started to have a roll when I binked a $26 for I think $8ksh.

Long story short I ended up getting backed by a very strange character last year just for live events and took down $52k in a Borgata $1500 event.  Unfortunetly since he lost a shit load backing others he decided to stop.  Over the last year since I have been in Spain and only work part time I have had a bunch of time to improve even further, even tho my results didn’t show for it up until last week.  Then my break came through on Sunday i shipped the Warmup for 90k+

I hope to be able to discuss interesting hands in these forums, (and watch most the vids) as I do not have many people to talk poker with here in Spain now.

Mike
