willieliao - 撲克牌

Hi, Willie here. Sorry for writing in English - I cannot type Chinese on
BBS in this machine and my Chinese typing is super duper slow anyways XD

I am working in Washington DC area and play Poker since around the beginning
of 2006. I have card-counted Blackjack for mainly recreation purpose
since my undergrad days and basically breakeven. (Ok, I am an old guy..30ish)
However I found Poker more entertaining and actually more profitable :)

I usually play 1/2 NL in Atlantic City or in Las Vegas. So far I play only
live game. I have won ~1K in 40 mins and have lost $500 in a single hand.
So far in total I am slightly ahead and hope I can do better in the future.
The room I love the most are Mirage (LV) and Borgata (AC). By the way
Borgata just open a new 85 tables (!), 21500 sq ft poker room. It is awesome.

So far the concern about playing online is that I dont want playing poker
cut into my personal life. I dont know about online poker but I do have some
friends who are WOW fans. They do nothing other than go to work/school, eat,
sleep, and play WOW. I know many DaDa on this board playing online, so if you
can share your experience I would highly appricate it.

I came across bbs PTT b/c I met the founder, Mr. PTT last year, who was
working in DC at that time. By the way he is working in Seattle now :P

Again, nice meeting you all and hopefully Poker can be more popular in Taiwan.
May next WSOP champ is Taiwanese.

Willie
