Name? Mark
Age? 32
Nationality/location? British, London
Day job? Film and TV agent (I am secretly Jamie Gold, mwahahaha)
What do you play and what stakes? Short-handed no-limit texas hold'em (mainly £50NL), with the occasional $11 SNG and the very occasional MTT for variety.
How long have you been playing? Just under 2 years. Some online friends mentioned getting a friendly game together; I gave it a go and was hooked in seconds. I played SNGs for a few months, then switched to cash where the money's better, the bad beats less devastating and the strategy is much more interesting.
Where do you play? I play on 2 different Crypto rooms, Sun and Pokerplex. I choose these rooms because i) they offer good bonuses and good rakeback and ii) they have £ tables.
I also have accounts at half a dozen other poker rooms and from time to time (usually at times of day when Crypto is quiet) I'll play 6max at Stars, Party, FT or Boss. I also have an account at Pokerroom (where I originally started) which can be accessed via a java client, which is very handy if you're away from your computer or if you don't want to install software on someone else's machine.
Why did you come to FTR? I can't remember *how* I found it, but as soon as I started reading it I knew it was exactly the right kind of forum for me - busy, friendly, full of existing advice and info and with a very knowledgeable, but still feet-on-the-ground, user base.
Since I joined I've made nearly 2,000 posts and made several proper, off-board friends. I couldn't have asked for more tbh and I hope my contributions give something back to the community.
Do you have any goals? Not in poker  I'd like to keep making money from it - pocket money is fine - and, assuming I keep enjoying it as a hobby, it'd be nice to move up a limit or two and hopefully increase my roll accordingly. But that's it - I think I'm the person on FTR who least harbours a dream to go pro.
Profit from poker (Jan'07)? $10,000
