Last 8 weeks or so seem to have been a massive influx of new posters onto this forum.

I am just curious to know how you found out about this website and how long you had been playing before you started to visit the establishment.

Sup bro,

Been lurking since May, been playing since Feb.

Found this site after purchasing HEPFAP and noticed the URL on the back cover.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I'll look at the amount of posts, it'll read 1100 then I look at the "reged" and it reads Aug 01 2005. Hey, it's kind of cool, I'm feeling like I have been here for a while!!

I started playing poker seriously and lurking 2+2 boards about a year ago, and registered last December. I found out about them from the cover of TPFAP & then I devoured a few other 2+2 books and realized they were quality. Like many here I am guessing, I am competitive and want to be the best at whatever game I play. (Also I have an engineering degree, which is apparently a prerequisite to post here.) I played limit and bonus whored from August '04 to May of this year or so, started at .50/1 and worked my roll up to 5/10, and just recently started SNGs more seriously this summer, working from 6s to 33s.

I started posting more here when I felt more familiar and comfortable, so that I could hopefully contribute and not detract. It's intimidating to post something different from someone who 8-tables 215s or pose a question to them when you know ish about SNGs. Now I would rather make a mistake here than on the table, so I try to respond to questions and then see what others have discussed. It's helped my game, no doubt, but it's tough to do at first.

I'll be around a while I'm guessing.

Hmm.. my first post here. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I've been lurking here for a while, and I came here because I have 2+2 books. I've been playing poker for a few months now, and I think I still suck, but I'm getting better.

I'll be posting in the HUSH forums and this one mainly, because I play $3/$6 SH and a few SNG's every now and then.

Been lurking for a year. Made my first posts this summer. Starting seriously playing limit hold'em this summer (before it was just for drinking money [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ). Just started getting into tournament poker this month, esp. SnG. Have a lot to learn on this board.
