Hey all,

My name is Jesse Kertland, I'm 27 years old, and have been a longtime fan/lurker of TPE.  A close friend of mine (shoutout to Kyle u/xave4000) introduced me to your material after signing up, and I quickly dove into the podcast archives and enjoyed them a ton.  After watching a couple of bigdogpckt55's videos with u/xave4000, as well as being an avid watcher of his and killingbirds twitch streams, I decided it was time for me to become a TPE member and really focus on stepping up my tournament strategy and theory.  

I grew up in Vancouver, WA, but am currently traveling around Australia for a year with my girlfriend.  I've worked in the casino business as a dealer for the last 7 years, but am now just playing poker for a living while traveling AUS. Trying to grind using hostel wifi can be a high variance endeavour, but so far I've been making it work as best I can.  Really enjoy playing live MTTs most, consider myself fairly adept in the online scene, but also super ready to start plugging leaks like a madman and learning as much as possible to improve my game.  

Can't say thanks enough for the help I've already recieved from the TPE pros through your free public materials, but am really stoked to finally be part of the community here on tournamentpokeredge.com. My Pokerstars/Fulltilt handle is NWPoker88.
