Hey I've been lurking around here for a bit, and I have to say there is some really good content here and I like the friendly atmosphere. I play 25NL FR on Stars and hope to improve my game, move up, and make some friends.
Not too many people can say that they have a real life poker nick name. I guess it was about 4-5 years ago that I was first introduced to texas hold'em. I met this guy who was having a b-day party for his daughter, and my daughter was invited. We talked a lot about different stuff while all the kids played and became friends. He invited me to a poker game hosted by one of his friends. It was fixed limit, and I had no idea what I was doing but I made $17 profit by hitting some backdoor gut shot straight draws.
A few games later, everybody wanted to switch to NL. I was actually kinda scared. I had read Lee Jones' book and was now trying to beat this home game for a good clip (im very competitive and have always looked for an edge in anything I do). I bought NLHTAP by sklansky and miller and just played really tight at those games and valuebet the snot out of everybody. We would play .25/.50 cash games but the buy in was only $20 which kinda sucked I was able to valuetown people with TPTK, and I'd seriously make like at least $50 everynight.
This one night the host was lazy and we had a big game of like 11 people and rather than mess with all these denominations the host declared that every chip was worth a quarter. I made over $150 that night because I was smacked in the face with the deck on almost every hand that I played, and nobody was folding, and people just kept rebuying. I had so many 25cent chips that I needed something to hold them in because I couldnt stack my chips between hands before I won another big hand. No joke. What do you think I was given to hold them in?
You guessed it! A bowl. A big plastic rubbermaid potato chip bowl, full of white, green, red, blue and black chips, with a the odd ten or twenty dollar bill as I was now the guy to talk to you if you wanted to rebuy. The guy sitting across from me looked at me, sitting down behind my massive bowl of chips, and a smirk on my face and said: "I know what I'm gonna call you... I'm gonna call you TheBowlBoy!"
Needless to say it stuck, and those poker guys call me that to this day and the story still gets retold when newcomers join our games to explain why they call me that.
