podcast advertisement got me to check out the site and I decided to subscribe.

Maybe a member survey of how results have improved since joining site?

I googled “top poker training” sites and went through a few of them then checked your site. The format was great and easy to navigate. I checked the blogs, the pro bios, then searched some stats on them (for me they were impressive). I then checked the video library to make sure there was some low stakes stuff and then checked out the “ask the pros” section and everyone sounded very upbeat and positive. I usually research shit to death before paying but everything here looked great. no negatives at all. I pulled the trigger quite fast on signing up. The price was the bomb but not a factor in the decision. I think mostly I was impressed with the “online” pros you have onboard and how responsive they are.

The internet is full of shitty training forums where a handful of frequent posters think their way is the only way and everyone else’s opinions or ideas suck. I think you have a total winning site here, and for me as a newish player, I really like how the members are very positive when commenting on posts even if they sound half a$$ed goofy to a seasoned player. Everyone needs to learn how to walk before they run and it’s nice to know I am not going to be berated or belittled on a semi-open forum when I have a question. It keeps me positive and on here improving my game.

Perhaps a member testimonials page for the world to see might help. It could be open to the public like the “ask the pros” page is. They go a long way in my business and I am sure most the members wouldn’t mind posting something in it to give back a little.

you can quote me on this “the community of pros are extremely invovled and helpful and the community of members are the nicest poker players in any forum anywhere, it's a nice break from the jerks on other forums and training sites”

I initially became interested after hearing an advert on pokerroad.  Watching the sample videos gave me an idea of the quality, but what sealed the deal for me was listening to the 1st podcast.  I think that that will be an invaluable advertising tool.. I can already tell after just a few weeks that I am really loosening up my range and making moves that I would not have likely thought about before joining the site.  More importantly, I think I am becoming more comfortable with the variance that playing this way creates, and I have taken down a few low stakes turbos that I wouldn't likely have  won with my more tag/nitty style which has been my normal play.  Testimonials might be helpful, but if you use them, please select your people more carefully than dueces cracked did- that ad on the pokercast is just annoying, and I forward through it everytime.  If you want testimonials I would be happy to do one for free, and I am sure that you have members who have been here longer that  have more impressive stories.  I feel that I am getting very good value for my investment in the site.   Keep up the good work!

I joined primarily because of the Big Dog, because he's a legend and the highest-ranked player that I know of doing training videos. I learned about the site on the Pocket Fives forums.

I think that TPE should take great pride in the community that has been formed in these past few months. Being a regular in the chat room, I can honestly say that I have made some super nice friends!  I think that members of this site don't feel alone, there is always someone you can talk to whether on chat, on the forums, or private messages, and everyone is more than willing to help out with regards to an inquiries that are made. TPE is not just your average training site, it is a poker community, with full access to the pros, and endless tools to help improve a person's poker knowledge and skill.

I strongly believe that anyone is resourceful enough to gain the knowledge one seeks, but without the sense of community and support, you lack confidence in achieving your goals.

When I think TPE, I think….Community, Support, Friends, Fun, Educational Tools, Family!

obv the price was a huge point for me. and no sign-up fee. no other training site can beat that. plus you got the bigdog!!!!   I heard about this site from thepokerdb u had an ad there, which i think is a great place. as a player i think all poker players should use the db. I also love that there are regular vids coming out and we dont have to wait. no other site is specific about what they teach and i think there are more tournament players overall. another slogan could be “ask and you shall receive”. I'm very proud to be a TPE member and i have received alot from your site. ty for putting together this site you guys should be very proud, GJ!!!!  keep up the good work.  run good to all in poker and in life.

I was watching Bigdog one day and heard him mention it to someone else.. No sign up fee and no commitments are key. The interactive forums are great. Being able to post a HH and have five replies the same day is pretty sick. Also loving live sweats.. The pros here are not only proven winners but they are great teachers. In order to improve, we must be willing to make change. It's like a Einstein quote:

'Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'

I don't want to be insane 🙂

TPE is fantastic. What brought me to the site was affordable training. Lets face it, when your a micro stakes grinder it is tought to justify $100-300 sign up fees plus $30-60 a month. Hard work has always been a quality I have, and when I play but look at the stats of pros or semi-pros, I think I need to add something to my learning pool along with hard work. The site realed me in with no sign up fee and affordable monthly price……BUT what made me stay and keep on staying is what it really has to offer and the great experience it is giving me. THANKS TPE!

I'm a huge pokerroad fan and listen to all their podcasts .. and this is where I've found out about TPE. I've heard the ad over and over and thought one day that this would be the perfect training site for me as a MTT player. I've been a member to almost all big training sites out there at least once .. but I always canceled my subscription because 3-4 MTT vids a month just wasn't enough for me (I tried multiple times to switch to cash games, but in the end I always get bored and come back to MTTs).

Seeing that this is the only MTT only training site out there is a huge selling point. The second big selling point (which made me actually sign up) is that it has no signup fee. That's one thing I've always hated about training sites .. that you have to pay $200 or so just to be allowed to pay another monthly fee lol.
