Hello to all! This is Matt, known to the rest of you as ‘pay4lawschoo’ (ran out of letters -such is life). Before you ask, I was a student at Saint Louis University School of Law until yesterday. And no, I wasn’t paying for law school by playing $5 Sit ‘n’ Go’s. I like to think of my username as positive thinking more so than an accurate representation of what I accomplish on Hollywood Poker.
I actually left law school yesterday midway through my 2nd year to take a promotion at the company I work for. This will mean more free hours available to play against you at Hollywood Poker tables - and quite a bit of a pay raise; and the ability to purchase our first home; and insurance benefits. You know, the little perks that aren’t quite as great as freeing up time to play poker, but nice nonetheless.
Anyway, who am I? A husband, a father of three, a 31-year old guy who likes some solid competition and a guy that will talk smack like there’s no tomorrow whether he can back it up or not. If you’ve sat with me, you know what I’m talking about.
Born in raised in St. Louis (Go Cards!) my wife and children moved to California in 2000 where I spent two years working in the entertainment industry before returning to St. Louis in 2002. During my time in La-La Land I managed to meet some celebs, go to some great parties, AND (make sure you’re sitting down) I wrote the season premiere of the 3rd season of Pokemon. Pretty exciting stuff.
I’ve got a Bachelor’s in Film/Video Production and my passion for movies is unparalleled in the free world. On that note, give it up for James Woods in Diggstown. Great flick. If I wasn’t an out of shape piece o’ crap, that might have inspired me to get in the ring.
That brings me to what attracts me to this site: The Michael Woods Celebrity Invitational. I had dabbled with this site here and there several times, but when I sat down for the aforementioned celebrity tourney and was seated with Michael on my left and James Woods on HIS left, I knew this site was something special. Unfortunately James couldn’t stick around long as he had an interview with Vanity Fair, but Michael was quite the host and we had a great time trading chips back and forth for an hour or so until he got bumped to another table (and promptly lost his stack).
How fun is it to sit down at the table and realize, big movie career or not, we’re all equal in the game of poker and we’re all just people. The celebs at this site are so down to earth and it is a great time to play some hands with them in these tournaments.
So party on folks. Hopefully I’ll see you at the tables and you can take my chips and make fun of me for writing for Pokemon or whatever.
Hollywood Poker, keep up the great work. This site rules.
