A Bit About Me: As of 3 days ago I have decided to actually try and improve in poker. Even though I’ve been a member for a while now I’ve only watched a few vids, but I’ve recently downloaded some and am going to watch them all a few times. I have been a BIG fish just spewing money often cause I was playing at night while tired or after a night and tended not to pay attention to game selection and even position on a lot of hands which I prob played bad anyway. I am off the beer (special occasions only) and want to start to improve so I’m taking 3 weeks off to study some vids and then I’m going to start with a 1k roll and see where it takes me.
DC member you wish you could meet: Doubt I’ll every get a chance but all seem like there good people.
