My name is Denny and I have been hanging out in Costa Rica for the last few years. I have been a member of TPE for a few weeks now but have yet to post anything besides this. I have just been “ninja-ing” around watching vids, reading forum posts and absorbing as much as I can so far.  

I am fairly new to poker. I played a few friday night games with buddies years back in Canada but it usually involved a bottle of Crown Royal and Cokes and every face card was a great starting hand. I have never played live in a casino and started to dabble online last Oct until Dec then my biz picked up and I only played maybe 3-4 MTT's throughout the year until this Oct again when I picked it up again and signed up to TPE. I typically play from $500 gt's to $10k gt's with buy-ins ranging from $3 – $35 with rebuys and add-ons. My Bankroll is currently at ~$4k from an initial deposit of $50 playing mtt's at a small site. 

I signed up with TPE for a few reasons:

Throughout the year I have been toying with the idea of getting a coach or signing up with a training site so I can improve my game from early on and limit bad habits from forming. 

I don't like wasting my time on a site where all the old timers posting are super sarcastic, negative turds and every post goes off topic into a pissing match. There are a few of these around. You all seem to be straight forward, positive and willing to share your extensive knowledge while leaving your egos at the door. 

I like playing MTT's as opposed to cash games and am willing to listen, watch and learn as much as I can on the site to make it as profitable as I can. I may not post a lot because the site I play on is small and I can't use stat software so I don't want to waste your time trying to read posts of hands that aren't converted properly. However I will read and try to learn from what everyone else is posting. 

I welcome anyone's feedback, knowledge etc… for as I mentioned earlier, I want to limit bad habits from forming. I think learning the correct way from the near beginning might save me a whole lot of bumps and money along the way.

Glad to be part of (from what I can tell so far), a pretty cool poker community!

Cheers,

D.
