2011…Let’s Crush It!

I posted on my Facebook page recently that 2010 was one of the greatest years of my life.  Now I'm a fortunate guy and I have had many great years, but 2010 was truly a special one.  A big part of that was launching Tournament Poker Edge.  RonFezBuddy and I started talking about launching this site quite some time ago, so to finally do it in April was a dream come true. Something that I often find myself preaching to people is doing what you love.  It's not a new concept and it has been written about quite extensively. One of my favorite books on the topic is "Crush It!" by Guy Vaynerchuk. One section of this book describes perfectly how I feel about work:

"Live your passion. What does that mean, anyway? It means that when you get up for work every morning, you are pumped because you get to talk about or work with or do the thing that interests you the most in the world. You don't live for vacations because you don't need a break from what you're doing – working, playing, and relaxing are one and the same. You don't even pay attention to how many hours you're working because to you, it's not really work. You're making money, but you'd do whatever it is you're doing for free."

That's how I feel about Tournament Poker Edge. I get to work with a bunch of the greatest guys I've ever met. Guys I would hang out with even if we did not have this business together.  And the site has really become like a family. I love jumping in the chat room towards the end of a long session. Maybe it's to let people know I'm at a final table, or to see if anyone else is deep in any tournaments. Maybe it's just to tell everyone the bad beat I just suffered. Or sometimes it's just to say hello and see how everyone is doing. Regardless, I don't go in the chat room because I have to as a founder of the site. TPE is like family, and I want to know how my family is doing! So thanks to the entire TPE nation for making this a really special place to be involved in.

2011 is already off to a good start on the poker front.  I've been working hard on my game and have had a bunch of deep runs and final tables to show for it. While the big win has eluded me so far, I did have a 3rd place finish in the Stars $18k GTD for $2,000 and a 3rd place in the Full Tilt Turbo Fiddy for $2500 plus a few other fairly big 3 digit scores. All nice bank roll additions when you are grinding mid-stakes. So from a poker standpoint, I feel more ready for 2011 than I have for any year in the past. I'm excited to see what kind of success the year brings for all TPE members. So watch those videos. Hit the strategy forums. Do everything you need to do to take your game to the next level…and let's CRUSH IT!

I would be remiss if I did not make a few "poker resolutions for the new year" so here are a few things I want to work on this year.

(1) Blog more. I'd really like to try and post a blog a week, but at least every two weeks.  It helps me keep my game in perspective and helps me think more constructively about what I need to be doing to improve my game.

(2) Post more hands in the strategy forum. I'm still improving every day. And I need to take better advantage of the fact that I can get my hands looked at my some of the best pros in tournament poker. Not to mention, there are members who are better tournament players than I am, and I need to be learning from them as well.

(3) Review one Hand History a week. I've let this slip a bit in the past few months because the site keeps me so busy. But if it means cutting one session per week out of my playing time, I really need to find time to be reviewing my game more.

So those are some of my goals for 2011.  What are yours?

    Hello Im new to this site but I must say I`m confused.Why do you publish a unreadable site policy, its look like a long never ending sentence.Its hard to read.
    Why do you have empty links like them below?
    Just ending in some kind of commercial for the site.
    Sit and Go Training Poker, Rakeback and so forth?
    Where is the sit and go training tutorials?
    Where is the info about rakeback and everything that is promissed to all members before they sign up here??????
    There is many promisses about all kind of tutorials to us who sign up here but there`s just some videos and a few articles.
    This site looks like a scam to me.
    Pleasae inform me that it isnt.
    And tell me how to do when sign off this membership when payment time is running out .
    Excuse my english.
    Why isnt it any “help” “support” or “about us” links?

    Thank you.
    As a new member first thing you want to know is, who is responsible and who to contact about this membership?
    After all we pay using our creditcards and I have some bad experience of some music-sites (before)were it was not possible to stop paying the memberfeeIt just went on and there was no way to stop them from charging my creditcard every month even I never used their services.
    Im sorry about my suspicious mind ,but the whole Intro here do not have enough information about TournamentPokerEdge and the people behind it and the people responsible for the busines-side of it.No support No Help-links nothing.Just Nothing.
    The videos better be darn good.
    Have a nice day.

    No problem, I can understand your concerns.

    I think you really need to check out forum as we are on constantly monitoring it and respond quickly to any question you may have. In fact, our members are quick to point out that we are more responsive than any training site they have previously been a part of.

    To answer your other questions, if you’d like to check your membership status you can go to Dashboard in the top right you can see your information there.

    Finally, if you click “Our Pros” above you will find details on every single pro/owner that is behind this site.

    You can always email us as well at support@tournamentpokeredge.com. In addition, when one of our support reps is available, the live chat at the bottom of the will be available.

    I hope this helps.
