Sitting Out
Hey all,
Greetings from Upstate NY. I've been playing poker since around 18 years old (about 18 years now). Started in college, playing online with PokerStars and other sites, and playing common-room games. I typically would play live at the Turning Stone Casino poker room, sticking to the $1-2L and $2-4L tables, occasionally playing the $5-10 and NL tournaments. My college roommate got me into it, and he actually ended up going pro and playing as a living. From what I hear he's been able to make a solidly successful go at it.
I never really played seriously, but poker is in the family blood. My cousin is a WSOP regular, and one year made it to the final two tables. My grandfather was apparently a local hustler. I have a pretty solid natural knack for tells and behavioral patterns. Never really cultivated it though.
I'm a business owner in the creative/advertising industry, and opted to buy a flip-top poker table as our studio's conference table. I just picked up a 1000 chip set of Claysmith "The Mint" chips from Apache Poker Chips. I'm pretty happy with them so far, though I haven't been able to get more than one game together since Covid started! I'm getting excited to start having friends over again soon for a regular game. I'd love to own a set of Paulson Elite's someday.
Lately, I've been watching Davin Negreanu's Masterclass on poker... I've been thinking of taking it up again with some deeper research and study.
Psyched to get involved with the forum!
