LabRats II – Are we there yet?

Jan 28, 2008 Well we promised you twists and turns, and even before we’ve begun we’ve got a few planned. LabRats II will go live February 3rd. We’re going to kick off with a private LabRats only tourney where the winner tops up their bankroll with an extra $100. How’s that for a twist?

We'll be announcing 3 winners a day for the next 5 days. So if you read everyday till Friday you’ll know the full line up but not before then! Are we being a big tease? Probably.

Here's the bio's of the first lucky three winners, well done and good luck guys!:

PokerRoom nickname: AJCashman

Hi guys! My last name is Cashman and I always knew it was destined to sound fitting with an activity someday :)

I'm 19 years old from Sydney, Australia. I'm currently at university chasing a physiotherapy degree - so you can imagine how much I need a stress reliever in my favorite game; Poker! (Although it can be a conflict of interest for one looking for a stress reliever sometimes!).

I used to love playing soccer, and I once represented my state; took years of dedication but I achieved that feat, and it's always something I've been proud of. Nowadays I've taken up bodybuilding, which I'm extremely passionate about. It helped me transform myself from a very skinny kid to a well built adult. My other interests are Metal, and naturally, poker. I've been playing for roughly 4 years now, have a reasonable bankroll, and am looking to crack that big tournament someday :)

I'd love to be recognized for my poker style. Because we all know - what's more satisfying than making a great read, hitting that nut straight, winning the big tournament - and having everyone with you for the ride! I think that's a really inspiring concept for any poker player of any level.

I also love a challenge. When I set my mind to something, I become extremely passionate. I'll still retain the laid back side of me throughout - but my main goal would to prove to myself and everyone else that I'm one of the best of the bunch - and can earn more money than rest. The top prize is very appealing, but the sense of competition under scrutiny is something you don't get everyday.

PokerRoom nickname: TurnDawg55

It's a bird, it's a plane, no... it's Super Jeff!

Playing poker for some 16 years now, I’m a 31 year old hailing from Vancouver, Canada. A lucky player, no doubt, but also a calculating one. After reading an article from Chris "Jesus" Ferguson about bank roll management I was inspired and started playing freeroll tournaments with the hope of turning an empty bank roll into something formidable. I did just that. Starting out with a win that netted me $10 in my first free roll, I moved through the low-limit tables until I reached a solid $200 bank roll. I also enjoy playing NL Hold 'em at my local casino's and the odd trip to Las Vegas.

This type of contest is right up my alley. I have run a couple of experiments of my own to see how far $10 can take me using solid bankroll management ($200 is the ceiling so far...). I would really enjoy getting started at a larger stake and seeing if I could really take my bankroll to the big time!

I also run my own home-based business so I have a lot of flexibility with time and as a result I'm able to play frequent hours and am also able to pick and choose the times that are working best for me. I think this will help as well to make me a real contender in the contest."

When not playing poker I enjoy playing hockey, snowboarding, performing with my band Sub Rosa and operating my web development business.

PokerRoom nickname: miniravioli

I am a musician and a somewhat new player at online poker. I also am a part time coffee roaster. I have been playing weekends card games since I was 15! (about 16 years ago now). I love to try new games like Omaha 8 etc... and still look a little confused when I think my A2346 has the low end pot and someone has the A2345.

It is these eccentric things that I believe make me a good candidate for the Lab Rats this year..... Well that and that fact that I am on unemployment at the current moment between jobs and poker could simply take me to places I have never been!
