Hey my name is Chris I am 25 and I have been playing poker recreationally for around 7 years.... my live poker is much better than my online poker. I would say I am down online purely due to bad bankroll management (the common curse) but way up live.

I live in Germany but I am Scottish and I play live in Edinburgh whenever I am home usually 2/3 times a year binked a couple of tourneys when I have been home which pays for the trip haha

I was in the army for 4 years in the signals based out in Germany and now I am working as a spacecraft controller for the Euro space agency which is pretty awesome... especially as I didnt apply just sort of ended up here after being approached on linkedin.

I am getting married in September in Edinburgh which I am looking forward to!!

If anybody has any questions hit me up Laugh

Ok here I am.

My Name is Adam, I live in Hungary. I'll be 28 in two days (jesus christ). I work for the goverment (pff..). I started playing in 07. I went up until NL20 on cash, I was studying geography at the Univeristy back then, so had much more time than now. My biggest MTT score was a 3rd place for 600+ change, in an affiliate rakeback promo tourney. And then I had a pretty bad downswing, and I was frustrated/tired of poker and I needed the money so I cashed out everything in '10 (about 2k), and never looked back until the autumn of last year. I started from the beginning deposited 100 and started to use the new formats (spin&go, speed poker), which was great for a while went up for like 400 bucks, but then downswing again, and I ruined my bankroll. I noticed that the game is harder now, I wish I could be a few years older back in 07 and had an Income, to not only rely on poker Smile

So right now, I want to start over again, maybe for the last time. NL5/ rakeback deal/BANKROLL MANAGEMENT. I'll have limited time daily 1-2 hours the most, I have a decent income, but I'd like to have a bit more Smile I'm about to buy Hm2 finally, I have a busy month, so aiming a may 1st restart on ipoker.

Pleas keep me in your prayers Smile Gl everyone.

Hey Adam, lol i chuckled to myself when you said "i work for the governement". I dont know why but everytime i hear this all i can think is that you are a spy lol. I have said this to a few people and they all reply "no my job is quite boring and just a lot of paper work" which makes me even more suspicious that they are a spy as that is what a spy would say!

Anyone else or just me? lol

Hey Jon,

I'm not a spy, I can assure you (doesn't every spy say that? Smile ), but for real I have a boring (REALLY Smile ) paperwork job at Ministry of National Development, working on European union Projects. That's it.

P.s. loving your videos!

Hey dirtyafroman, welcome to the site.

I did like leakbuster when I had it, it's very useful. However, if your budget is low you should post your stats in this HEM/PT review thread and our forum experts can take a look over your stats and plug some leaks.

I'm sure we can find a few of your leaks that can be plugged, save yourself some money in the short-game and improve your win rate along with it.

Evening everyone! I thought I'd introduce myself Smile

I'm Matt from Hertfordshire, I've been playing online for two years. I've always broke even because I've never took advice and guidance to heart and instead played instinctively. This has recently changed and I've so far converted $15 to $50 on FTP mostly through 2NL Rush, of which I'm proud, even if it is small fry Wink

I've been concentrating on my obvious weaknesses. The main one is convincing myself that 90% of the time, the villain is bluffing and can be scared off - stupid, but I believe quite common amongst us recovering fish!

In the day time I'm a web designer part time, sysadmin part time. Glad to be here!

Hey Matt, how are you doing mate? How did you come across this site?

Are you a student or do you have a graft? Remember this site has a ton of coaching videos and a very active poker strategy section to help you plug some leaks. Hope to see you post around these parts a little bit more mate. Yes

My name is Jovica, I'm 28 years old. Living in Bosnia and Serbia. I'm playing for living for 4 years now. Played HU SNG mostly then switched to 6 max... On stars I have over 40k in profit (not counting RB). I thought about writing poker journey and making some challenges here but it seems I have to have number of posts to be alowed to make thread and I'm not in mood of spamming forum to get wanted amount of posts so... if you can sort that out it would be good, if not... you will miss I guess.
