Not a new member, but realized that I have never posted here, and thought my story was intresting. Was a so-so recreational poker player who joined TPEa month before Black Friday. However I was learning a lot, so I decided to stick with my subscription even though I was a US player. Watched a ton of videos, especially Casey's, but didn't play much due to the limited options for US players at the time. Gradually got back into the swing of things, playing mostly on Bovada, though some merge (pre Lock's exit as well), though I had difficulty depositng on both Lock and Hero so pretty much played freerolls there.

Bovada, fortunately, was a different story. In March of this year, I was fortunate enough to ship their Sunday major (the 100K). and have not looked back since then, with an addtional 10+K in profit since that time (given that I only plan MTTs on Bovada with 5K guarantees and higher, this is more impressive than it sounds). Just started up on Lock last week now that I can deposit at that site, and am confident I will find success there as well.

I owe it 1,000,000 percent to TPE. I cannot tell you how much I have learned from Casey and others, from punishing donk leads, double barrelling, etc. I thought I knew about poker before joining TPE, but I really knew very little. I owe a debt to this website that I can never repay.

Thanks TPE!
