Feel free to add anything else you would like to say.
I really have learned a lot since I started playing online. The most important thing is I know it's a long learning curve. This game can be humbling. I keep feeling that I make breakthroughs in my plays and am improving all the time. (Even though I used to think I knew it all)

I'd like to thank all the posters on ITH for all the advice and support. I've seen some of the other poker forums and was really turned off by the egos. There are a lot of talented supportive ppl here and I do appreciate all the information that I've been privy to...poker related or otherwise.Look Mark up in the forum!
