Presentation	June 2006: You always hear the stories about the guys that turn small amounts online into huge amounts live. The first time I heard a story like that, I decided that it was time to give poker a try. I started playing online in 2003, learning mostly how NOT to play poker. Only recently have my studies started to pay off. Watching TV poker has done a wonders for me, and reading/studying good poker books has helped a lot as well. After playing the 2006 WPT Championship Qualifier a few times, and losing, I decided to wait for the right event to try again. The funny thing is, I wasn't even interested in going to the 2006 WSOP, mainly because I was almost out of vacation days from my day job. Who would've known that $8 could grow, almost instantly, into a spot on Team Pokerroom at Poker's Main Event? I could talk about poker all day - the strategy, mind-games, table banter - I love it all. When I am not talking poker, I am usually talking music. I consider myself an undercover hippie, and have travelled all over North America to see Phish play. Phish introduced me to Las Vegas in 2003, and I have made it a point to go back once a year since then. Since I had already planned to go to the Vegoose music festival in October 2006 (had a BLAST last year), looks like I will be in Las Vegas at least twice this year! Good luck at the tables!
