Hi all,

My name is Baz. I wanted to introduce myself and give a bit of a run down on
who I am.

I live in Melbourne Australia and I am over 40. I have a wife of 15 years
and 3 kids.

First I want to say the reason I am here is because of the podcasts. I would
always think to myself if they are giving away information like this for free,
imagine what the video training is like. TPE has not disappointed the video
content is excellent and the membership will continue for a long time.

I love playing MTTs. I love the competitive side of it. I enjoy getting
better. I love the idea that an ordinary 'Joe' can become the best, not that
ever will be the best, and that's OK I just want to be a better than good
player. And of course, I love the winners cheque.

I have been playing poker for about 2 years but only realy playing MTTs for about
8 months. I deposited $20 on Pokerstars grinded it up about $250 playing cash.
I went on a big downswing to just under $100 got pissed off and withdraw the
entire account. I was left with about 400 points.

After a couple weeks out of the game, I decided that I would give
tournaments a go with my points, as I will not put any more money into my PS
account. In that time I have built a roll of around $700 with the biggest win
of $250. So I guess I am an intermediate beginner. I have made a couple of
withdrawals for education, SNG Wiz and a bit of downswing has left my roll at
$250.

You may think this membership is a lot with such a small bankroll but I
don't watch much TV and I don't have a mobile phone so this is like the mobile
plan. Well that is the way I sold it to my wife anyway.

My first goal is to win a mass field $2-$3 MTT. The longer-term goal is to
have the bankroll and the skill to compete well at the $50-$100 games and to
take occasional shots the $200 games. I currently work on the 100/1 rule with my bank roll.

I am not a “Poker Island” and enjoy being involved in forums and
whatnot. Whereas I wouldn't confident answering posts yet I hope that will
change.

I will be posting hands from micro stakes game, I hope you bear with me and
give good honest feed back. I hate sugarcoating, if a screw a hand up, don't
hold back in your constructive criticisms.

That will do.

I'll see you in the forums and the chat………
