A bit about me,
Hi all. I was reading a post from Matt237 last night, giving a few bits of info about himself so thought I'd share a bit about myself with people. Most of you probably don't know me. If you do it's most likely cause you've taken a lot of chips off me in MTT's lol. Well I'm a 40 year old bus driver from Alcester ( near Stratford-upon-Avon). I have a Wife, 5 kids and a mortgage ( listed in order of expense lol). I played poker once in a while with some friends in a pub a few years ago but never took it seriously but around 12 months ago decided to give online ago and tried another site but wasn't too keen. Probably something to do with losing all the time. Around October I started playing on Sky poker and had an e-mail read out on Sky poker tv on the 30th of December and was given free entry to the next nights 5k Turbo Open. To my surprise I finished 3rd and that's when I was hooked. Since then I've had a few min cash finishes and a 3rd place in the 2k mini b.h. I also finished 8th in the 30k UKOPS main event but was moved up to 7th because apparently somebody did something naughty. Still got a lot of improving to do and any advice would be appreciated. I do go on cash tables occasionally but prefer MTT's. I felt my game was improving and started reading some books my wife had bought for me. I thought I could improve some parts of my game but it seems to have knocked me back and I'm a bit worried I've changed my game for the worse. I was close to giving up before I really started but love the game too much. Hopefully I might see some of you at a live event sometime and if your reading this Mr Pokerada, I will get my revenge for you knocking me out the ukpc final with your AK lol. That's all from me, but please be gentle with me at the tables.

You and Matt are more or less neighbours then. Small world I used to live in Studley and went to Alcester Grammar in the 80's.
Get involved on here and you will enjoy and benefit from it.
