Hey everyone!

Im going to become a regular poster on the site.

While some of you may know who I am, I thought it'd be best if I introduced myself to those of you who don't.

My name is Ryan Laplante.

I am a 27 year old poker professional who lives in Las Vegas. I've been playing poker professionally for 8 years.

Over that time period Ive had more than $4 Million in lifetime earnings. I've been on 6 wsop final tables, and won a bracelet last year in the great game of PLO!

Besides for playing the game, I love discussing and teaching the game! I've been fortunate to have been able to commentate for the WSOP (and many others!), and have been a coach for some of the biggest and best training sites (RunItOnce, CardRunners, FloatTheTurn).

I'll be posting in all parts of the site, but as tournaments are my bread and butter, I felt that this would be the best spot to say hello.

Thanks for reading and best of luck on the tables!

This is awesome. I think I am not only saying this on my behalf, but for most of the regulars in here, we cannot thank you enough sir, having a professional player answer our questions is more than awesome!

Hi Ryan. Welcome to CC.

I've seen some of your videos on Run-it-once, and you are obviously a very good coach. Look forward to seeing some of your threads/ ideas on here. :top:

It is excellent that we have the opportunity to talk with a professional poker player.
May be you open games on the pokerstars "home games" for the forum participants. It would be interesting to play with the pro at the same table and learn skills.
I think it would be interesting to many participants.
Or arrange any lessons on the forum.
Is it possible?

Hi Ryan, Thank you SOOOO much for joining our amazing forum...I'm sure you'll make it even MORE amazing. I'm really looking forward to your thoughts on tournament play. May I present a problem I have? I have played (well I mean tried lol) a few WSOP events at different times but I find it difficult to maintain peak concentration...do you have any advice? Thanks in advance

Peak concentration is easier to keep the stronger your game is.

The more easily you can make decisions the less fatigue you'll have.
