Can't wait to try this out! Starting at Day 1 right now. I consider myself a bit rusty after online poker being illegal in Michigan for the past 10+ years and in the past month since it's comeback I have realized that I lack the confidence and skill that I had before. Some of it is definitely because I went from playing every night for 6-8 hours a night at least 5 days a week to not at all once it was no longer available in my state. I used to watch the wsop tournaments they would play around 2-3AM regularly as well. I wish those were still on TV!

Yeah, I wish ESPN was still airing the WSOP in the middle of the night, even if it was just reruns from years past!
I wanted to tell you something pretty wonderful though!
Last night I went over the first 6 lessons of the course and today I decided to enter a $3 MTT Pokerstars tournament and a $1 MTT Pokerstars tournament. I found myself using so many of the tips in the course during the game, especially the way I played my hand VS the position I was in. I have always known about the importance of position but I never studied it in depth or took the time to really consider things like what to do in the cutoff position or fold equity and let me tell you, I felt like a champ during these tournaments lol. I made it to the final table in the $3 and ended up placing 4th (my AJ lost to KQ but I made the right play so I couldn't be mad) and won around $45 and in the $1 I was just shy of the final table placing 11th (lol) and I think I won like $2. Haha
I just wanted to say thank you! I played so much more aggressively than usual and most importantly, in situations I had not previously done before and it worked most of the time. I found myself encountering almost every situation the lessons had set up as examples and felt confident in how to handle my opponent.
Up to day 7. I took a little time to work some of the lessons into my games. I had started playing a little too loose in my opinion so wanted to get back to some form before continuing. Glad to be back and ready to move forward again.
