I think it'd be cool if everyone posted their age with their posts. It'd be neat to see how a person's age relates to some of their goals.
Agreed and done.

Much, much older.
God damn it. I don't know if that's supposed to be a good thing, but I already feel too old. BTW if you hit your hand goals for the year, will you make Supernova Elite?

Haha, it's a compliment. And no, not even close. Played almost 1 million this year and am barely going to get the 5k milestone. Even if it included more hands at higher limits next year, I think it would take significantly more hands than my goal to get there.
