General Poker Discussion Poker Forums

Hey all, just signed up today as I've researched that DC will be the best site to help me progress in the greatest game in the world!

I'm a 6max FLCG player slowly progressing through the stakes, and of course I have the same dream as everyone else: BECOME A PRO

I begrudge all you people who were smart enough to start learning poker online. Damn me and my laziness for not doing so...

Since I am less and less interested in my area of studies - law - I am more and more serious about creating alternative paths for me. Poker will hopefully one day be such an alternative, since it is one of the few hobbies and interests that has managed to keep me fascinated for over 5 years. And come on, which lazy bum does not love the idea of "working" from home while wearing a bathrobe and sipping Martinis?

Poker background: Live cash player since 2004. Since transitioned to online in 2009 I've had my ass kicked left and right which has challenged me to learn how to beat online poker. Since then I've been dedicating most of my poker time to studying and some low stakes cash game.

Random Fact: I will probably attempt to write a book at some point; who knows if it will happen or how it will turn out. I am somehow very good at the game show wheel of fortune and if I could only get on it, my bankroll would definitely be bigger.
DC member you wish you could meet: Nolan

Been a member for awhile but just started taking the game more seriously and trying to get the most out of the forums. Lots of great knowledge within the community. Have watched and rewatched hundreds and hundreds of hours of videos. Think some of the coaches here are absolute geniuses in the way they look at the game. Have had coaching sessions with threads13 and inavacuum and look to continue with them as my disposable income becomes more available. Doing the micro grinding thing here in Ecuador, and enjoying my time away from the tables immensely, given Guayaquil has been such a fun, cool place to live.

Hey sup everyone on DC, I'm new here so i'll do the copypasta

Random Fact: I have double jointed thumbs

Anything you want to know just send me a PM

Well, I bought a book and got a 30 day flashpass (I have no idea what that means, but guess I will find out...lol) So I am here for at least 30 days, but from what I have read on 2+2 and Cardschgat (My home forum) I reckon I will be extending when my trial is up.
I have been a pro musician for over 30 years, and have a long list of accomplishments. I own a small studio and am a guitarist/singer/songwriter/producer blah blah. One of my bigger claims to fame was a 2 year stint as bandleader of a late night show in Germany similar to Letterman. (PM if interested, I can send links) I have done everything from title music for a full length movie, music for a 52 part tv series, toured with (European) known artists, played everything from hard rock to classical music, and on and on.... I am also actually not bad.
I am a 10 and 25nl 6 max player and a MTT low stakes player. I play now pretty much full time since December since I quit the band I was in.. I have a 1 year plan and the BR to support it. Life remains an adventure.

So, on to the noobs duties.

RL First Name: Daniel
Age: 36
Status: Single
Occupation: English-as-a-foreign-language teacher
Location: Clermont-Ferrand, France
Favorite (Sports Team, food, place, beach, pet, etc...anything goes here): Sports - Really loved Liddell's fight style; Wish he could have evolved past his defeat to Jackson (the last one); food - pork chops; Also - physics, math (ironically enough, I never really cared for probability or discrete math, now I play poker), reading
Random Fact: Does anybody here like band Drive-By Truckers? Well... I used to live on Lookout Mountain.
DC member you wish you could meet: Not sure yet, but judging from the video "The 8-fold Path to Poker Enlightenment," Angelo seems to be a pretty interesting fellow.

Last summer, I played some friendly live games of NLHE with friends some of who are reasonably good players for that kind of setting. I really enjoyed it and sensed it was a rather complex game. When i was a child, I loved playing backgammon, another game with both winning strategy and an element of chance, so Poker has been a return to the gaming frame of mind.

I read some of Harrington's books because I want to know how to play properly. I watch videos because I want to know how to play properly. Hopefully, I will be posting my first hand history soon.

And my goal with poker... To be the best player I can be... It is a fascinating game.

Currently, I play 5NL at pokerstars.fr
