Started playing poker:
For fun, about 5 years ago; with some hope of semi-regular profit, 2 years ago.

Favorite poker game:
Varies, I get bored if I play the same game too often without a change of pace. In ring games, I enjoy stud hi lo, holdem, and omaha hi and hi lo, and small blind PL omaha hi; in tourneys I like holdem, preferably NL.

Ambition:
To win paid entries into the WSOP main event and the TOC and to finish in the money in both; to become an expert at PL omaha and holdem; to finish every calendar year on the plus side of the ledger in my poker activities.

Major Poker Accomplishments:
Won a few small local tourneys; finished in the money in several tourneys at Orleans Open in '99; haven't had to sell or mortgage any property yet to support my poker interests.

Additional Information:
Retired poker dealer; professional tournament bridge player on hiatus at present, but plan to resume playing again in the near future; enjoy reading mystery novels, the beach, watching sports and movies on TV, shooting pool and darts, occasional visits for poker to Atlantic City, Biloxi, Tunica, and Las Vegas, and going on poker cruises.
