I'm from a state called Minas Gerais. This Picture with a red triangle is the flag of my state.

Nice to meet all the new people.

It would be great to keep this going and build a real support community.

As mentioned before I have played both live and online and have to say I prefer live due to the interaction you get with other players.

the problem I have online is discipline, especially at low stakes. Before christmas doubled my roll frm 50EUR to 100EUR in a few days but then had a bad day and wasnt disciplined (pissed off) and kept going all in and lost the whole money.

Dont seem to value the money if i play online. Any advice on this?

In general I want to really dedicate 6 months in 2015 trying to play a 20-30 hours a week, but need to improve bankroll management and discipline.

Cheers,

Dman (paris. france)

P.s. the girls are gorgeous here too

Hello All,

My name is not deckgamez, but thats how you'll see me

I'm in my early 30s living in Brisbane Australia (just moved here). I've been playing poker on and off for a few years. I play on pokerstars as well as live poker. Australia has a very cool league called the APL, its mainly free to play and they have games all over the country every night of the week. $2 buyin with $250 first place or higher. Usually around 60 people. Really enjoying these.

Really keen to learn more and start moving up online.

Welcome mate, I was in Brisbane about 6 months ago on holiday, nice little city. Where are you from originally? What are you doing there?

Hello people,
My name is Andrew I live in Sussex and I'm 33 years old.
Been playing for roughly 3 years, started off playing SnGs and Tourneys, last year I started playing cash. I play on Stan James and Sky Poker and occasionally PS to have a go at satellite tourneys. Looking for some dialog with people about hands and strategy as I am the only person in my circle of friends that plays.
Looking forward to getting involved in the community

@deckgamez - Welcome to the site! So how is life in Australia? I have family in Perth, seems like life is pretty decent out there!?

@andrewshaw81 - Big welcome to you! Whereabouts in Sussex are you?

I live in Crawley which is near Gatwick airport

Ah cool, not that far from me, I'm in Eastbourne

Hi my name is Carlos Herrera I`m 28 years. I`m from Colombia a a beautiful country to live.

I play poker since 2005 manly live cash games. Online played occasionally cash games but never had significant results, and MTT`s also occasionally, mi best result was win a $11 Micromillios winning 6.3k.

I want to star to playing micro-stakes Cash Game.

Hey Harvie, originally from UK/Gibraltar but moved to Sydney about 10 years ago, now in Brisbane (as of October)

I'm not too sure about Perth, but Brisbane life is amazing. Great friendly people and great standard of life, House prices are still good also (compared to Sydney/Melbourne).
Sydney not so good (spent 9 years there).

Yeah, whenever I see pictures from my relatives I always think the lifestyle out there looks awesome!

Hey Carlos, welcome to PokerVIP!

Colombia.... wow! Must be nice living somewhere so beautiful! Nice bink there on the Micromillions, not bad for a nights work hey!

If its cash you want to learn then you are in the right place. Best of luck to you on your poker journey and good luck at the tables!

Hey guys, I'm here because PokerTube recommend me this site, my name is Diogo Paula and I'm from Portugal, I play poker size last summer, MTT's only, and I'm here to upgrade my game!

Hey there!

Yep PokerTube are very good friends of ours and it's glad to see you joining up!

Why only MTT's? Is it all online poker?

Because I love the tournaments, it's more exciting, that pressure on bubble, I also love the lights of final tables!

Welcome to the site mate, it seems PokerVIP is getting pretty international with players singing up from all over the world.

How is the poker scene going on in Portugal?

Hey chaps, my names Charles, early 20’s, from London.

Been playing poker for just over a year and a bit on and off, I would watch my Dad when I was young playing online but didn’t actually fully understand what was going on. So when I started off myself, I played very fishy with not a great understanding of the game. Started watching tons of videos, reading forums for valuable info and of course putting in the hours and can say I have improved my game by miles.

Recently been playing 6max SnG’s on Stars $7 & $15 and satellites for the big tourneys. Considering heading over to Sky Poker and trying out the cash games and SnG’s. Anyone recommend Sky?

I won a ticket to the UKIPT main event next week at hippodrome casino in London. Managed to qualify early December through a satellite on Stars for just £11 and was one of the first in the lobby was very pleased considering its worth £770. But don’t have much live experience, maybe played 3 times live, reached the final table one time, but was still quite fishy back then.

My goal is to become a profitable cash player online and live eventually.

Not registered to any other poker forums, so will be active daily and hope this is the place to learn new things and step my game up. Watched plenty of your videos on YouTube and helped me out a lot too.

Many thanks
