Hello TPE.

My name is James, and as the title suggests, I need to get back to basics. I have been playing poker for a long time, but with no knowledge of the fundamentals. Read a lot of articles back then but expected just the task of reading them would suffice for my game to improve. Alas, this was not the case. I was very much stuck in my losing ways, not understanding why and thus, tilting like a feces flinging primate.

Took quite a long time off, due to life changing events, playing only very sporadically for the past few years. I'm not sure what renewed my interest as of late,(pretty sure it was finding Thinkingpoker) but I have started playing again, and to my suprise… I'm not as bad as I once was. By no means am I a winning player, I just don't have the monkey-rage tilt issues I had previously. I have been reading quite a few blogs and watching all the free videos I can get my eyes on. Finally, I decided that joining a poker training site could at the very least be =$ev, so here I am. Hope to get to know you all, and have a profitable future.
