Wats up TPE Nation,

The name’s KK. Been playing poker with friends as a hobby since the moneymaker days and have played live tournaments at casinos in daily tournaments when since I was about 22 (buy ins ranging from around $40-$120). Since I was able to have decent success with that and cash games at occasion, I started playing more seriously in about the last year and a half. Started grinding online and playing bigger buy ins for bigger tourneys (I.e. 2nd Saturday $550 at bay 101, satellites into HPT or WPT events, weekly $100k on bovada etc). Also recently played at the wsop for the 1st time this summer along with the WPT 500 at aria and one Wynn event (all bricks). Feel like I can hang in the bigger games just seem to get card dead at the worst times and make a one or two bad reads/plays that mess up the tourney for me. Feel like I need to fill some holes in my game so I can take it to this next level, sorry for giving a lot of information but hope that this info can help one the pros point me in the right direction of maybe where I can start.

Been kind of a “life nit” and listening to the podcasts for about 4 months now finally decided to join. I think after seeing Alioto in the hallway at the Rio and found out he was a good guy, I thought that was a perfect representation of how this site is ran and why I’m here today.
