I am here for Friends

About Me

I dont have any pictures of myself, so I had to make do in MS Paint. My eyes are not actually that tall in real life.
I dont like using apostrophes.
I am shockingly good at ping pong.
I have an LJ page for those who care, it is here . Unfortunately, large parts of it are just me talking about poker, you have been warned.
Im a professional poker player. But my friends the colonoscopy technician and the apprentice blacksmith make my job look pretty mundane.
Read these two quotes today and had to record them somewhere, this is as good a place as any:
    "you cant really kill a limit player, theyre already dead on the inside" "Minbet poker can kill someone a hell of a lot harder than NL. Losing 1000BB's at NL is like getting shot in the face. Losing 1000BB's at limit (or minbet as you want to call it) is like punched to death by a 4 year old. It is fantastic."
This is an incredibly apt description. I spend all of my time getting punched by metaphorical four year olds.
If youre asking someone to move slow, thats me. If youre asking someone to move fast, youd better ask me later. In fact youd better ask me now, Ill think about it later. And then after that later... later on... ill move. But its not gonna be fast, its gonna be creeping. Thats the whole point of the fucking song bitch.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Id like to "meet" people I already know, mostly people who I dont see enough of or talk to much anymore. Of course if you are deserving of meetment for other reasons, Im willing to keep an open mind.
the unintentionally unpredictable.
I like people with big eyes and quick wits
Id like to meet someome who would read my fucking blog, and then maybe leave a comment. Does such a person exist, anywhere?

My Blog

A little bit blah

SNG shark

Its a shame that nothing in poker can keep my attention for more than a couple months. I think I could become a really good player if I could just focus on one game for a year. I thought id found my t...
