    I am 26 years old, from New York, NY. I play under the screen names tyson219 on Stars and FTP and tford219 on Merge.

    Background
    I have been playing poker since ~2003/2004. I started playing at Turning Stone while in college and living in upstate New York. I began playing online in 2005 and grinded with a decent amount of volume on and off at sporadic times since then. I took most of mid-2006 through 2009 off due to a demanding job requirements in the consulting industry. I also took most of late 2010 off due to work and studying for the GMAT.

    Recent Play
    I began putting in a lot of volume and studying the game in February 2011. In 2011, I had an 83% ROI on Stars and 17% on FTP over ~500 and ~2500 games, respectively. My game improved significantly in March 2011 and I had several MTT wins in the 2-3 weeks prior to Black Friday.

    Since Black Friday, I have been playing on the Merge network. I am playing the best poker I have ever played. I have a little under $100k in cashes, approximately $30k in profit and an ROI of 46% over the past 3 months.

    I have also been working with a number of great MTT players over the past few months, including icufish/icudonk, pokerproplaya08, silentnut and zekenasty, and have improved my game significantly.

    OPR Links
    Merge
    Stars
    Full Tilt

    Live Play
    I have played around 50 sessions of 1/2 at Turning Stone, mostly in 2005-2006. This year, I have played a few sessions of 1/2 and 2/5 at Foxwoods and a couple 1/2 sessions at Turning Stone. Most recent live MTT was a $600 at Foxwoods in July where I finished ~80/350.

    References
    I currently back a handful of players on Merge. All of them can vouch me. In addition, a number of people on Pocket5’s are willing to vouch for me, including ppp08 and icufish.
