Hi, if you don't know me and you probably dont

my name's Alan. I'm 183-84cms tall Australian born Chinese, wear glasses short sighted (i'm yet to meet any asian who are actually long sighted, anyone know a factual reason behind this?)
Anyway since its a poker forum i'll try generally to keep my posts poker orientated with the occasional rant/update on my life.
First started poker in year 12, some friends of mine started getting into it and i went along with the "trend" playing home games where we'd all put 1-5 dollars in for a sng.
Luke, aka Goodkarma who is now karma was probably one of the first people i knew who started playing online and it wasn't long till someone discovered the partyfifty promotion.

Needless to say, everyone tried to get multiple accounts me included. I started playing limit, .50/1.00 FR as well as SH and just getting really lucky playing what i then thought was "tight" and did well, getting to 300-400+ on several accounts before a downswing wud hit and i'd panic withdraw.

This lasted for serveral months before i started playing limit games at school, often skipping class (i did it regardless of poker actually

) going to the school library to play against other students. Did quite well in these games but near the end of the year i stopped playing having lost interest in poker and there were more pressing matters at hand, like my year 12 exam....

So there was my first taste of poker and it wasn't until karma convinced me to start to play again (he'd apparently kept right on playing and had done alright in the process *cough* luckbox *cough*) that i touched online poker with a serious intent to learn and beat the game.
So on Feb/March 2006 i got back into it grinding away at 10nl on party constantly annoying Luke with retarded questions and bitching about my bad beats.

Anyway, since then till december 2006 i played sporadically, due to work, social life as well as downswings causing me to take breaks from poker. Oh, and in the process also got Jonno aka pokerdoc to start up playing as well who's bitching and moaning made me realise how annoying i must have been for those around me..

....this is dragging on, cbf typing so much...soo
starting jan 2007 trying to play seriously and steadily.
So far its going badly, down about 15 buyins but thats because i honestly suck and have massive leaks in my game after not playing for a while.
but..... with pots like these http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/136912
hopefully i'll be back on my feet soon eh? and also rakeback to look forward to wooot.
In ending my first post which will most likely be the longest i'll end up posting apologise for it and i'll try keep it short from now on
