Hi all, I’m Nick from Philadelphia, PA. I’ve been playing both online and live tournaments (and cash) since 2006. I’ve had some success over the years, but poker has mostly just been a hobby/side income. I’ve recently started getting back into playing after taking a couple years off to complete my master’s in computer science, but I’m ready to get serious about poker now. One of the reasons being a couple weeks ago I binked a live tourney at a local casino which was a $100k gtd and the winner also received an entry to the WSOP Main Event! I actually won a satellite to the main event before in 2008 on Bodog/Bovada, but I took the cash instead of the seat. This time I’m definitely playing. So I want to study/play as much as possible leading up to the big dance. I’ve started playing a lot on Ignition/Bovada and I feel like TPE has already helped as I’ve had a lot of success already (probably has more to do with the level of play there than my skills). I’ve read a couple books in the past but I never really got into forums like 2+2 or coaching so I’m super pumped to finally take the deep dive into poker. I’m looking forward to learning and getting better with all of you!
P.S. If anyone wants someone to chat poker with please feel free to message me. Also if you want to chat about artificial intelligence/machine learning that would be cool too. I’m currently working in self-driving cars but I’m passionate about everything AI.

Welcome Nick! Congrats on the score and the WSOP ticket. Another member and I are thinking of starting a small skype poker group. PM me you skype if you are interested and we can chat poker.
Thanks Nas47! Is it weird that I’ve never used skype? I’ve used google hangouts a bunch which I’m pretty sure is the same thing, but I’ll have to setup a skype account and get back to you.
