Biography

Hey Guys,

I am DGekko, 28 years old and a Dream.
I am from Portugal, currently living in the USA, which Poker wise as you might figure, ain't great...

I found Poker around 13 years ago, via WPT ( World Poker Tour ), Good old days...Late hours just watching episode after episode, names like Phil Helmut, Phil Ivey, Mike The mouth hahaha
Started playing in Full Tilt, obviously wasn't 18 yet, but they didn't or wouldn't need to know right? and thats where the passion started, I remember playing Freerolls, ones that were about 250 ish people deep, and first two places got a ticket to next level and so on..and without any strategy or knowledge besides what i had observed countless times on the TV i actually manage to gain quite a few FPPs ( Frequent Player Points ), enter a few tournaments with those points and in a matter of a few playing hours ( days ) , I had reached my first $100 !!!! Wow...15 Year old and never had so much money to my name , It seemed to be a dream, and it would appear at that point that there wouldn't be any limits for my game!
This was about the time where i met Mr Tilt and obviously right after Mr Bust!
Wow.. my whole world came crashing down..I still remember the pain, but it never moved me as i quickly found myself back at the freerolls and on and on.

Quickly found out about Poker Strategy, 2+2 Forums.. The Great Collin Moshman, The Beasts that are Tom Dwan and Phil Galfond...Well a lot happened to me ever since.

Well, 13 years have passed, and Poker wise what i have to show for, is just my Dream, my passion for the game, and i guess some experience, in short I ve obviously made deposits, withdraws , I have played SNG ranging from $1.50 to $200 , I have played cash games from 2 cents up to $1000 ...I have made $2000 in a month, Twice! and I have busted a whole lot of times too.

I am back at Poker, back at Sit N Goes, with the same Dream i had all those years ago, but with a lot more life experience and knowledge.
