Welcome Thread
Welcome to the new APT community forums! I thought in this thread we could all briefly introduce ourselves.
Also, I want to point out that we have a new community profile system. Up in the top right corner of your screen you should see a profile icon. If you click the icon, it will allow you to set up your profile and add a picture or avatar of your choice.
I'm Heather, I am one of APT's two community Ambassadors. Paul (the other Ambassador) and I write blog posts, post on twitter and Facebook, and otherwise reach out to the community. I am a huge fan of live tournament poker, and most commonly play at a local charity card room about an hour from my home. My favorite APT feature is Beat the Pro and I am always excited when a new challenge is posted.
How about you?

I'm Paul, the other (and clearly lesser) of the two APT's community Ambassadors. Similar to Heather I primarily stick to live tournament poker in the New England area and play mostly MTT games at APT although will venture into cash training games once in a while to expand my modest poker skills. Stills trying to move that needle on my poker IQ!
I love reading poker books, particularly those based on theory and strategy; in fact I have read more poker books in the past 3-4 years than all other types of books combined (perhaps not something I should be proud of!). But I look forward to getting into some discussion about strategy and tactics with you all.
Hi, I'm Jesse and I'm here to learn to improve my poker game. I don't want to play for cash right now, as I don't have any, but I hope to simply improve my skills as a whole for the moment.
Hello, I'm Keith. I've been a backed player and published writer in blackjack tournament strategy since 2005. I started my poker education last year, and hope to become a strong player by the time I retire in a few years. What drew me initially to APT was my desire to find computer simulations of poker games. When I saw that APT was used by last year's WSOP Main Event champion, as well as how it offers so much more than just the simulations I was looking for, I was sold. My main interest is live MTT's and satellites. I got bored with cash games in blackjack, so I started specializing in tournaments. I suspect the same may happen to me in poker. Hence my interest in poker tournaments. I'm looking forward to the strategy discussions I think may start happening here.
Welcome jal11180 and monkeysystem! We are hoping to see that kind of strategy discussion here as well. Fee free to start a thread with any thoughts you have.
hi everyone - I am Krista and new to poker and APT... i also play (micro) at PokerStars and Full Tilt (there i am kcorbee)... since the brief time I been at APT I am amazed at the knowledge provided, the INCREDIBLE software, like WOW, who programmed all this? - its BRILLIANT, wow, wow , wow... before come here i played occasional online and I never won a single time, never anything ever just slowly losing daily money hahaha... since i been learning at APT now i am comfy play and hey I won some stuff.. truly ... amazing huh? i even win a tournament of 195 players today and been in the money like 3 out of 5 SnG or cash games.. holy cow!

Hi there,
I have had a break for a few months playing poker. I am playing 6 max, concentrate on that game along with MTT at this site to improve both of them.
I just wonder what is the best way to set up training using the different options while picking a 6 max training or mtt module training. Do we start with the most easy tables playing from every position with all kind of combinations. I think yes cause the rapport what will be made once a week will tell you the spots to train right, so an overall approach would be the best? Let me know your suggestions where to start?
Thanks a lot,
Stu
IMO you should move up until you find one you cant beat. Then you have a challenge to study why.
With MTTs I think you can alter the structures, so set one up that nearest replicates your commonly played or favorite one. Good practice. @junglefeveer

Hi. I'm new and I really enjoy this site but it seems like it's kinda dead here.
Who's here and who can tell me how much content is added with regularity?
Thanks and best wishes.
