In between his wheeling and dealing on Ebay, Ftdoc manages to play some poker and study medicine
Name Brian Atkins Age 29 Where are you from? Champaign, IL. Are you married? Children? Single, no children What do you do for a living? Ebay Entrepeneur, Pre Med Student How long have you been playing Internet poker? Been playing for about 6 months now and home games for about 4 years What limits do you play? .50/$1, $1/$2, $2/$4 What is your favorite site and why? Currently I am torn between Empire and Poker Stars. I like the harder competition at Stars, but I enjoy the looseness at Empire when I can accept the larger swings. What has been your biggest poker thrill or achievement up to now? Placing in the Top 2 in 3 Seperate Multitable Tournaments in a row, including 1 Win, at Pacific Poker. What area of your game are you currently focusing on? Patience.... That is a big one for me. I have been going through long dry spells of cards, and keeping my focus as well as my patience has been key in stabilizing my bankroll. If you could go back in time and start all over again on the Internet, what would you do differently? Start sooner.... With all the interest in Online poker and the World Poker Tour now, I would have liked to been more established and have had a chance to build a larger bankroll. With all the new found excitement, there has to be alot of big fish jumping in at too high of limits. What’s your favorite poker saying or phrase? Worm: I guess the sayings' true. In the poker game of life, women are the rake man. They are the f***in' rake. Mike McDermott: What the f*** are you talkin' about. What saying? Worm: I-I don't know. There ought to be one though. - (ROUNDERS) Who is your favorite poker player (if you have one)? That is a hard one, so many great players out there today. Howard, all the Phils, Scotty... And each one has their own style and gift to the game. What are your other interests outside of poker? My home business, I love some of the "Treasures" I come across, and then turning them into a large profit. Chess, Rock Climbing, Cooking, and Mowing the lawn (nothing more relaxing, and you cant hear a phone ring when the mower is on) Feel free to add anything else you would like to say. Thank You for the great site Matthew, and to all the friends I have made on the forum, it has been a pleasure to meet you all. Cant wait to see you at the final tables.Look Brian up in the Poker Forum! |
