Hey everyone, I’m new to TPE and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jon and I’m a tournament player in the north Dallas area. I’m Republ1c on most poker sites.

Why I joined…
I played a lot of poker (mostly online and home games) from about 2001/02 until black friday. Haven’t played much since. I’ve recently been getting back into the game and really want to give it another go in the live arena. I’ve been making semi-regular trips to a local casino (Winstar, if you’re in the Dallas area) for weekend tourneys. I’d like to start playing in some WSOP circuit / HPT / WPT prelim events so TPE seemed like a great place to level up my game and study with other tourney players.

A little about me personally…
By day, I’m married, a father to a feisty little girl, and professionally a product designer working remotely in the tech space. Since I work remote, we travel quite a bit. I’m a fan of damn near all sports, but hockey was definitely my main sport growing up (go Stars!). When I find the time, I play a variety of sports (roller hockey, baseball, golf, tennis, etc.) and run in local 5-10ks.

I’m definitely looking for more poker friends so feel free to reach out and introduce yourself.
