Hello TPE Nation,

My name is Clay (BigSweatPoker) and I have recently joined TPE because I was looking for a tool to take my game to the next level.  I have been playing poker seriously for the last 5 years.  I have had varying degrees of success over the years making final tables in WSOP circuit events along with local casino tournaments.  I felt as though my game had plateaued.  I stumbled across the TPE podcast last September and started listening non-stop to every episode.  In October I final tabled the HPT main event in Vicksburg, MS.  I did not play any other tournaments over the winter months but continued to listen to TPE podcast along with the TPE live podcast.  In February I completed all of the podcast and decided it was time to join the site to see what I could learn from the training videos.  I started with watching “The Big Dog” chop the Sunday million and continued from there.  Since joining the TPE nation I have final tabled 5 of my last 7 tournaments at my local casino winning 2 of them.  Granted only 50-60 players, but still a pretty good win rate thanks to TPE!  I am planning on spending most of the summer in Vegas and hopefully getting to attend the TPE meet up.  I look forward to continuing to learn from the training videos and interacting with the TPE nation!
