Hello from Kent, UK

[hotspurstu]

Hello my name is Stuart. I started playing in 2005 and play at low stakes as a hobby. Played on Full Tilt off a small initial deposit and never had to redeposit. Was always best a sit-n-gos and deep cashed the odd tourney to keep me treading water.

Didn't play at all after Full Tilt went with my money and have just started to play again on Stars. Although I do OK at sit-n-gos I find them quite boring and would really like to get a better understanding of tourneys and improve playing cash where I've always been pretty bad.

I initially got into poker watching in on TV, so started out just playing Texas Hold'em. I'd also like to learn how to play other types of poker better too. I used to play the HORSE games a bit and enjoy Stud and Omaha, not that I ever really ever felt I had good grasp of how to go about winning at them.

I like watching poker shows and especially liked the cash game shows like High Stakes Poker, Million Dollar Cash Game and Partypoker 48hr. There doesn't seem to be much like that on TV in the UK at the moment though. I miss the pokerbay and as a result my Plex poker section is looking pretty dated.

Anyway, hello again and good luck.

Nice to meet you Stuart. I recently went on a poker-tv binge on YouTube and watched most of the recent EPT episodes... good stuff.

Hope Pokerstars continues to treat you well. Neither Pokerstars not FullTilt is allowed for U.S. players, yet. I hear Carbon recently went thumbs down for U.K. players.
