At the start of the year I set myself a goal of UK£ 2,000 profit (around US$ 3,300) playing online poker in 2011. Checking my stats I have realised I made my target by the end of April, even though it felt like I was running badly all of February and March.

I'm only a part-time micro/low stakes recreational MTT player, hence the modest target, but when I play I play to win, that's why I joined.

My TPE membership is undoutedly one of the main reasons for my success, as far as I'm concerned the subscription fees will pay for themselves many times over. Thank-you to all the pros, the founders and my fellow site members who make strategy posts on the forum.

I've decided I might as well double my 2011 target to £4,000 (US$ 6,600). Let's go for it!
