I am a 36 year old Southeast Michigan resident. I've been married for 13+ years and have three children - 11, 7 and 4. I worked in the financial services industry for 15 years doing lending, marketing and business development. In the past year I went out on my own doing contract F/I & Marketing work SE Michigan powersport and auto dealers.

I've supplemented my income by card counting at blackjack the past eight years. I've netted $4,000 to $8,000 per year during that time frame. I mostly play in Detroit's/Windsor's three casinos. As the casinos have increased their house edge at BJ, and therefore made it less profitable to me, I've switched to poker.

I've been playing poker now for two years. I mostly play Tournaments with $65 to $275 buy-ins. My net tournament earnings in 2006/2007 are approx $14,500, net BJ earnings in 2007 are $2,000. During the past 18 months I've played in approx 55 tournaments and cashed in 16 of those.
