General Poker Discussion Poker Forums

Hey, what's up everybody. Been a member of DC for about a year now but didn't exactly make the most of my subscription until the last month or so. I've been around poker for a long time but never played much 6-max NLH until now; hoping DC can help me transform from a mildly successful tournament player into a full-fledged 6-max aficionado!
