#1 Why did you choose your Railbird.com screen name/ what does it mean?

I use to run a computer BBs back in the late 80's early 90's and Wildfire was my handle. I started using on the internet and found out there were way to many so I added my age (at the time) to it. However, instead of changing it every year, I decided not to age any more.

#2 How would you define your style of play?

I don't think I have one, consistency is not one of my strong points.

#3 Poker Achievements?

Still waiting

#4 what brought you to join railbirds in the first place, and what keeps u here ?

My hubby, 1idjak introduced me to the site. The infinite amount of information and definitely the people...great bunch of people for sure...that's what keeps me coming back and staying.

#5 Which pro would you like to face in a HU match and why?

I absolutely love Humberto Brenes. I think he's great and he keeps things fun. Once things get too serious it stops being a game. After all we are PLAYING poker...isn't playing suppose to be enjoyable?

#6 how have you improved your game...was it by lots of practice, was it by books you have read and if so, which books, was it by playing live ??

Well I'd have to say practice. Practicing patience that is. I don't read manuals. I'm a techie that used to build, configure and sell computers...true nerds and geeks NEVER read manuals

#7 Who are 5 players you look up to on railbirds and why? or Who do you think based on what you've seen or read, would you like to face heads up on railbirds?

1idjak, because he introduced me to RB, keeps me grounded and loves me. My clan leader and co-leader of the Railbird Raptors Capt.Jack and OnTheFlops who wrangled up one heck of a clan and always check in to say Hi. My whole Raptor clan because they're just the friendliest people I've met on the net.

#8 How do you play differently in tournaments vs. cash games?

I try not to play differently. In tourneys though, I have to work on pacing myself lol. It's that patience thing I'm trying to get down.

#9 What would you consider a weakness in your game/ something you need to improve?

Again...I have little patience when the cards aren't coming and I tend to get bored and want to play hands I should fold.

#10 What are some typical "TELLS" that a online poker player gives ?

It's definitely different for each table. I tend not to do too much until i've had a chance to see each player come around once.

#11 How Has Railbirds.com helped your game play?

Practice, practice and people who make it fun.

#12 Best Moment in a trny ?

My first time ITM. It doesn't matter how much...just that I made it. That's a great feeling.

#13 Most recent trny win?: (non railbird trny)

none yet...hubby is still trying to talk me into going to Foxwoods.

#14 Who introduced you to poker ?

1idjak

#15 How does your strategy help in Freerolls provided by Railbirds.com?

Still working on a strategy

#16 If their wasn't Poker, what would you be doing?
