I am 22 years old and I currently reside in Egg Harbor, NJ. I love poker and have been playing it since I saw Robert Varkoni win the WSOP on ESPN (yes I am a pre-Moneymaker poker player). I enjoy all poker games, especially NL Hold'em and Omaha 8 or Better. I have been playing online for the past 4 years, although if you see me playing pretty low limits its because of my poor bankroll management in the past and I am now starting from 10NL up on Full Tilt.
