Really nice guys like Thorladen, Apestyles and Waco were kind enough to talk some poker with me early in my degeneracy.

 glad i could help :) and andres too hes a great guy hes done a ton for me since i met him i owe him alot (although he may not agree). 

Someone from a few years ago decided i was passionate enough and had the right dedication and mindset that he decided to help me w/ my game. This was reallly early on when i didnt know a whole lot of wat was good and bad plays. He taught me everything he knew and it really helped my game. Hes a p5er his name is jcasper, great dude wouldnt be here if he didnt help get on my feet (or not as quickly i suppose... i do beleive in butterfly effect tho).

Next would have to be good ol jhendricks09. He doesnt play much anymore but when he did he would certainly kill it. He taught me that extra laggy gear mainly thru him tilting but it showed me how powerful aggression was and i immediately added it to my game.

Then thegfactor and i became great friends thru jhendricks. Him and i have discussed a stupidly high amount of hands and his input has improved my game 10 fold. Hes bound to break thru eventually just runs bad in majors :/. Really appreciate everything tho glenn. 

Now ive gotten in contact w/ some really insanely skilled players and im leaching as much knowledge as possible off them. Its a ladder and it was a long climb but im very happy to be where i am and i wanna meet/surpass all the expectations i have of myself and the ones others may have of me. 

It may be corny but this game gives you back what you put in. Its just a matter of time... right now is the beginning for me i truely feel, everything ive done b4 now was just to get me into the position i am in now.

Hope this answers ur question :) gl jtj hope to see ya at my tables at some point.
