    I know I didn't get the traditional triple crown and I haven't been very active in this forum since 2008. But can I get a Triple Crown Badge :) ?

    pokerstars: Supernova Elite
    Full Tilt: Black Card
    Cereus: Diamond Elite



    Oh and I work a full time job for an equity derivitives trading group and go to grad school at University of Chicago.

    Right now I play 6m and HU cash across multiple sites.

    Last year I played primarily 5/10+ 6 max and HU and finished at lower stakes due to a huge downswing. Year before I played 2/4-5/10 Full Ring. I got supernova elite both those years. The year before that I played mainly MTTs and actually posted on P5s.

    stock options market making. I like to sound fancy.

    Edit: Options are basically the right to buy/sell a stock at a certain price over a certain period of time.

    I sleep 4-6 hours a night. I almost never get less than 4 hours or more than 8 hours.

    I have a social life but not as much as I did when I was 18-24 obv. I kind of grew out of partying real hard about the same time I started grinding life real hard. I go out like once a week to drink and stuff now and go out with the gf a few times a week.

    Confirmed human.

    I had a degree in finance / entrepreneurship and had taken classes in programming so I was a pretty great fit for an automated trading group like the one I joined.

    How can we get these undertitle ?? Do we have to achieve something in particular ?? Is that the mods that decide this ?

    I imagine MMM going to cook pasta to Bonflizubi to get his undertitle..

    They are *awarded* when appropriate. Only a few of the mods/admins have power to grant them, I personally don't. Though for quality pasta, yeah I'd be bribable if I did. :-P

    That will happen. I finished last year on a 100k downswing. I played pretty poorly during it though and ran worse.
