63 YR OLD TIM BUFFINGTON BEEN PLAYING HOLD'EM FOR LESS THEN 2 YEARS CASHED OVER 70K

Hello WPT Bootcamp teachers,

In December I attended your bootcamp and then this year started playing in some tournaments. So far I have finished in two final tables in WPT events. I placed fourth in the $500 buyin in Reno at the Hilton and second in the $1500 buyin at Mandalay Bay. I also finished fourth in the $200 buyin at Harveys when I was there for the WSOP circut event.
Thank you for the help. I feel that the money spent on the boot camp was well worth it and of course has already been repaid several times over.

The official amounts are listed at cardplayers "player of the year" where I am ranked 446 I think, [I don't think "the Grinder" is worried]. The $500 buyin tourney at the Hilton in Reno paid around $8700. The $1500 tourney at Mandalay Bay officially paid around $50,000, but in reality we chopped it and I received a little over $62,000. The $200 tourney at the WSOP event at Harvey's Lake Tahoe paid $2600 when I got 4th place there.

I just started playing hold'em in Jan of 2005 and just really started playing tournaments this year. I'm 63 years old with no hold'em experience before that time, so if I can learn it anyone can.
