Well it wasn't a win, but I finished 56th in the Sunday 100k at PS and won a nice $280 for my 70 frequent player point buy-in. I was in it for over 4 hours, definitely a fun way to spend my Sunday afternoon. I have to say it was honestly the best poker I've played to date. I ended up losing most of my stack with AQo to AKo. I think it's a rule that whenever I get AQ, someone else at the table gets AK.

I made some great reads, I'm finally getting the hang of making reads online. Can't wait until next Sunday!

Just finished 15th in an 800 person MTT - almost making the final table for the first time ever. Best result in history thus far.

Got knocked out in a 3-way all in between two low pockets (7's and 5's) and my K10s which I raised with in late position. Landed two pair but the one caught a third 7.

Kind of exciting throwing around tens of thousands in chips - really helped my thought pattern when it comes to tourneys though. I realize that these huge stacks are the exact same as the beginning, just larger.

I'm a ring LHE player. I don't play NLHE, and I definitely don't play tourneys, but just for fun I entered a $3.30 R&A MTT at CD Poker last night.

I played fairly well, and had the good fortune to flop a nut flush as the small stack when it was heads up. So I won the tourney and took away $202.50.

That makes my total ROI on MTT play about 1200%, which is hilarious.
