Hey guys, I joined TPE a couple of months back and its helped my game immensely. I just want to quickly thank the TPE coummunity and pros for showing me the ways of tournament poker.

I started poker about 3 years ago, broke roughly even the first year, made a couple of hundred dollars last year. However, since joining TPE, I seem to get be getting deep runs in everything and being able to run tables over when I get any sort of decent stack. Im up $1,400 this year already.

Tonight I got 2nd for the second time this year in $11 deepstacks for $700. It was a 15 hour tourney with 30 min blinds but I managed to grind it out. It's my second biggest win so its helped the bankroll significantly.  I stayed up until 7am two nights ago to get 20th out of 9000 people in a big $5.50 for a mere $80 when it was $5000 for 1st but I watched a few videos on here by Andrew, Ben, Mark, Casey and Dannny and saw how you guys deal with variance and the swings of this crazy game. You guys have helped my game so much and Im defintely feeling a lot more comforatable when I get a deep run.

Anyway Im rambling, but I just finished that 15 hour deepstacks tourney so I'm not thinking 100% clearly. I just wanted to introduce myself and say thanks. Thanks TPE.
