This site kicks ass. I was referred by a member (subfocused). I've studied poker for a long time but fell out of tournament play after black Friday. the last few years I've been slumming it playing casino cash at Harrah's Cherokee (started at 1/2 moved up to 2/5 and was profitable over a couple of years of being there 7-8 days a month.) But I've recently moved and all the games around here are tournaments, [edit: the non shady games seem to be, anyway…) and … turns out my 10 year old concepts about tournament poker that have been not at all put into  practice in a while aren't that useful because all I can think about is sweet sweet juice… stealing pots… bluffing way too much.

 

Anyway, I play on Bovada (not with this UID, I kind of randomly picked this one because the Songhai in Civ 5 have that nickname, and I thought it would be great for a donk like me) and America's Cardroom. on ACR I've done okay in MTTs and have wound up with a 1k roll that I'm still kind of playing with (tried to cash out, wasnt able yet to jump through the hoops, and I'm actually interested in selling half of that to forum people but will hold off on that). On Bovada I've just gotten started with tourneys but I like their tournament a lot.

 

Have been watching sooo many videos since signing up and I did have one more of the local tournaments after studying some, and I can say it did improve my game considerably. I'm still very much learning but this site is the shiiiiit. 

 

Anyway, hi everyone! And let me know if you're jonesing for ACR cash for some reason! 🙂

hey, I note you're in Cary, I grew up around here, just moved back to Raleigh from Atlanta. It was much easier to reach Cherokee from atl. I'm actually going up there that first weekend but I've got stuff I need to do in Asheville and will probably just play the two nightlies Friday and Saturday nights of 4/4 and 4/5. However I might not even get there in time for the tournament 4/4…  we'll be pushing it.

 

Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome to the club!  If you grind on Bovada, there is a group of us that go on Skype every night while we play on Bovada, and we discuss hands as we play.  The best way to get better fast (I've been told and I've found with experience) is to talk over hands with other professionals.  Whittle it down to the finest minutia and then go over the hand again entering in some other small variable.

 

If you are interested send me a private message, or send a message to jacobsharktank.

Very cool.  We are going to have a little meetup on 4/4.  Just an informal gathering of TPE members. You should join us!

Damn! Just saw this. Yeah, we'll likely be in town by then. Where's the meetup, what's the plan? Can't 100% commit but I'm definitely playing the nightly friday 4/4 if we make it up in time.

This sound very cool, I play on Bovada too, but mostly in the morning. I will PM you guys to see if I can join one of these nights.
