Default Introducing myself

I haven't seen anyone else do this, but for the regulars of a forum it helps to know who the newbs are.

I've been playing online for over a year. Made good money with limits, took a break (forced), and came back playing NL ring games. (Not good at them, alas, and care less for them than FL.) Came back to playing SNGs again, and found some success.

I play 11s and 22s on FT, Bodog, and as hard it is to believe, I'm on a real hot streak when I occasionally play PS. I recently posted a question about you all's feelings about playing the 800 starting chips on Party. (Hate it, personally.)

I'm working on my journeyman poker player certificate. I'm better than a fish, but still make fish mistakes that make me wanna puke. I usually cruise to one or two off the bubble, mostly finding it pretty easy to get there. 50/50 for making the money--anecdotal not statistical. (Not enough volume yet.) Once I get ITM, I tend to shine, if I must say so myself. (At these limits, it's fairly easy to be good HU, because most likely your against somebody with less experience.)

I've been a member of another forum for over a year, have been in and out of 2+2 for about the same time, doing a LOT of reading here. My game has lept forward in the past three weeks because of my reading here. Much obliged.

I will contribute when I feel I have something, and hope that everyone will play back at me when I'm wrong. My philosophy is I learn only from what I do wrong. (16 years online: I'm flameproof.)

Thanks.

CJ

That's an awfully small sample size.

What three weeks? Depends upon how much reading one does in that three weeks, and how much playing, doesn't it?

Your reply is off topic. Plus, if you need someone to put OT on a topic clearly labled as an Introduction because you can't figure out it's OT, you got problems, kid.

68 posts and your already a hall monitor? You pushed my KK with A2 in EP yesterday, didn't you?

Is this a joke? If not, why can't his game have lept forward in 3 weeks? What sample size is needed when it comes to learning and reading?

This is not off topic. Whats wrong with you people? A guy makes a friendly post introducing himself to the forum and the first two replies bash him for doing so. While his post my not be high on content, did you need an OT in the title to know he wasn't going to be talking about bubble play?

Let's make it on topic then. Whenever I get into the situation of introducing myself I generally push.
