My name is Andy Bloch and I play online poker exclusively at Full Tilt Poker.

If you want to learn more about my poker career, keep reading...

I started playing casino poker at Foxwoods in 1992, entering some small $35 weekly tournaments once a month. By the end of that year, I'd won one of the World Poker Finals tournaments, a $100 entry fee No-Limit Hold 'em tournament. That was the first time I ever played no-limit.

In 1997, I skipped my last week of law school classes to play in the WSOP Main Event. I was the guinea pig in a low-tech hole-card cam trial. Tom Sims was looking for a volunteer to "sweat" and record all his hole cards, and I agreed. His records turned into a two-part Card Player Magazine article. After passing the bar in '99, I decided to delay my law career and went back to poker.

That career got delayed even further after making two WSOP final tables in 2001, a first place finish back at Foxwoods in 2002 (playing Seven Card Stud), and two WPT final tables the tour's first season, finished third both times.

So far in 2005, I have scored two first-place finishes, winning the WSOP Circuit Limit Hold 'em tournament at the Rio in Las Vegas, and the Ultimate Poker Challenge $10,000 Final Event. Additionally, I secured a sixth-place finish in the Mirage Poker Showdown Pot-Limit Omaha tournament and a seventh-place finish at the Ultimate Poker Challenge's $2,500 No-Limit Hold 'em tournament.

I also run the very popular (Unofficial) World Poker Tour Fan Site, and am always looking for ways to use my poker skills and my law degree to make the world a better place.
