Well, after hemming and hawing for a while, I have decided to take the plunge and join in here at BTP. Some of you might know me from UPF, others from a brief stay I had in a Tijuana jail cell back when I was 19 (If Big Jake is here, I'm sorry, but I'm not that flexible any more, and thanks for the cigarettes).

I have lurked for a little while, and didn't really think I had too much to say that was worth while. Ask my wife, she can back me up on that one. On the outside chance I can find some value to add I will try and post things that are reasonable, intelligent, and concise. Or I'll just call some one a dimwit and be done with it.

I play online mostly, fluctuating between UB and Pokerstars. I used to play Planet a lot, but have gotten too frustrated with the software. I did get some nice poker chips with Roy Cooke's picture on them, so it wasn't all that bad I guess.

Currently I am playing a lot of NLHE, but the majority of the time I am playing O8, either limit or PL. A good portion of my bankroll was won on the 2/4 limit O8 tables on UB, but then a good portion of that was lost on there as well. There is no pain greater than the 'nut flush, nut low draw' on the flop evaporating into a cloud of fake ceramic dust when the low misses and the flush that hit on the turn meets up with a paired board on the river.

I am 38, live in upstate NY, and play frisbee golf in my spare time. I have a wife and 2 kids that she says are mine. I am a Pop Warner coach to one of the kids, and a shotgun-toting-stay-the-hell-away-from-her-you-dirtbags lunatic around the other one.

My favorite movie is Buttwoman and my favorite song is Promises in the Dark. My favorite poker book is the one by Ray Zee on hi/lo split, and my favorite celebrity poker player is Laura Prepon when she had red hair.

Star, I have not yet signed up on Full Tilt, but I'd love to play a horse tourney. PM me if you have a referral or something like that.

MVP, if there's anything you need to know about your girlfriend, just ask me.

ah... we got us a shit-talker here... GOOD... you'll fit in fine...

BTW... can you give my girl smaller bills please...? I can't get anybody to cash the damned $100s...

MVP I have been trying but she wont let me pay anymore.

And Lush I agree Laura Prepon looks so much better as a redhead, i refuse to watch that 70's show now that she dyed here hair blonde.

I don't remember if they have a referral or not - but if they do - its starstealer as per usual. In any case, definitely get over there for it - its a load of fun.

And MVP - you don't want to mess around with JD on the table if I'm there too. Because he takes everyone's money and dumps it all to me with an A23x double suited hand that misses the low draw and gets a flush counterfeitted by a boat...

Oh - and tightie - if you read this, I won't have to worry about you sucking out on me anymore...

Welcome to BTP JD. If you can def. come play in the HORSE tourney tonight. You can check the Stud, Razz, forum for derails.

Derails? I thought that was the Anything Goes section...

Ruh roh! Ralami made a rypographic rerror!
