I'm disabled now from a massive drug overdose when I had pneumonia. It's affected my play, but I march on! My credentials: many wins in 180 to12k seat tourneys including Limit & No Limit Hold 'Em, Stud, Omaha Hi & 8.

BallsASteel's Interests
POKER GAMES:
I've won major tournaments in every game but RAZZ and HORSE. My biggest wins were 3k-12k seaters in Limit Omaha Hi, NL Omaha 8, Limit Hold 'Em and NLHE. I placed 3rd in a 2800+ seat Stud tourney.
POKER PLAYERS:
Daniel Negreanu is entertaining. Gus Hansen is fascinating. Don't care for the old timers or most of the egos.
LUCKY POKER HANDS:
I'm not a believer in "lucky hands".
CASINOS:
Bellagio is IT in Vegas. Cherokee in Tulsa (my hometown). Have never been to Monte Carlo, but plan to. Same with Macau.
ACTIVITIES:
Love OU football & roundball (no pro ball). Reading, writing, photography, storm chasing, technology, sailing, golf, travel, family, my faith, politics, wanna get back to my pilot's license. When I regain my health, tennis & wanna learn to scuba dive.
MOVIES:
There is no way I can list all the movies I like. The genres I prefer include comedies, action, history, the classics, biographical among others.
TV SHOWS:
Same with TV shows as with movies, far too many to list. Love comedies, dramas, Fox News, sports and documentaries.
BOOKS:
Normally I read biographies, history, business, Christian Living, politics, other faiths books and much more. I own around 2500 books right now.
MUSIC:
Jazz, classical, classic rock, contemporary christian, and good selections from almost any other genre such as country etc.
POKER PLAYLIST:
By playlist, I assume you are talking about to what do I listen while I play? I don't usually. I usually watch tv and surf the net while I play.
QUOTES:
"He is no fool who loses what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." Jim Elliott, Missionary Martyr

Dear BAS you may not remeber me but i played with you last night, i sucked out on river with A 10 for a flush, you critiqued (nicely) the mistake of the hand and i (not so nicely) said some nasty remarks and continued beratting you. I spent some time reading alot of your blogs today and i seemed to have pegged you all wrong. You seem very willing to help and respond to just about anybody on this sight (donks included) and just seem like an overall nice guy. You seem to have lived an interesting
