DC member you wish you could meet: Dunno yet, just started hangin out in the joint.
Random Fact: I was going to just hit & run the vid's with the 7-day free trial. I've downloaded a metric shit-ton (that's a lot btw) of vid's, watched a few, perused the forums....realized 7 days isn't enough.

I've played Hold'em for 3 or 4 years now, but nothing more competitive than the occasional home game (1-2table tourney style). Started reading some books...Harrington on Hold'em really turned the lightbulb on...started dabbling online...realized I needed to learn a LOT more...and now I'm here. I hope to learn enough that I can give back to someone else at some point...

Favorite Sports Team: Georgia Tech Football
Random Fact: I worked as a bat boy for the Atlanta Braves for 4 years (college)
DC Member I Wish I Could Meet: idk, DeathDonkey I guess
Brag: Biggest winner at Stars 5/T (limit) this year
Beat: I've played 8x more hands than some of the other guys in the top 10

I've been playing for 8 years. I started my online roll with $50 playing $.10/$.20 and within 2 years was playing almost exclusively 30/60 - 100/200. Took a 2 year break from poker after the passage of UIGEA (all my prior play was on Party and Pacific and then I had 5 figures get tied up in Neteller which concerned me). I have been grinding midstakes on Stars for the last 2 years to pay the bills while I have been in school.

Batboy for the Braves thing is AWESOME, I was such a huge chipper jones fan when I was younger. Any good dugout stories?

Get out to vegas for the WSOP!
