Havn't played but a couple freerolls and I'm still learning. No place as of yet but it's coming, I feel it thanks to FTR.

I'm glad to see the people on here are tearing MTT's up!

Thanks Gabe! It's been a fun run... hopefully I can translate it into a WSOP qualifier win. 0/1 so far as of last night...

It's been awhile since I have came in first, just thought I would share, I know not a big deal but I'm still new and learning. This is big to me.

Thanks FTR!

Bought in at step 2. Well actually I had to buy in there twice. The first time I advanced to step 3 and promptly busted out in 10th on the first hand when I got JJ UTG and had a guy call my 250 raise with 45o (Flop came 876).

So I bought back in and went throgh the steps something like this: 2-3-3-3-4-5. I had Rada over my shoulder for step 4 (My god it was fun punishing them like that), and had both Rada and Soupie (and a few others) helping out with the step 5. It's a little stressful having two people who's opinions you respect so much making opposite suggestions for the same play, but very cool none the less.

From the reaction of the other folks at the table... it seems to be my maniacal style at the end that's working for me. Lots of aggression, lots of stealing... catching a couple hands. On the final table people were starting to get frustrated and would push all-in over top of me. That got me to fold a bunch... but eventually I would catch something and take them out, making all my money back and more.

I won't lie... I've had a great amount of luck too. Overall though, reads and aggression have been working wonders. I'll try this one again on Wednesday....

Rats... my winning streak in the 5k guaranteed is over. 6th place for $315 isn't too bad though. My last 5 results in this tourny... 6th, 1st, 1st, 1st, 6th. I was big stack again at the final table last night, but a really dumb call left me crippled.

2 WSOP qualifiers this weekend... I hope I'll be posting right after those!

2nd out of 277
$474.50 in a Ladbrokes $10+1 Freezout
pwned.
Had chip lead for most of the tourney. By 60 left had 10% of chips in play. Heads up lasted for about 40 mins. Had K/10, pushed on the flop of K9x, Villian calls all in, flips over K/4. Turn A, river A. Split. damn.
After the break, lost concentration, tried to push him of his flopped nuts.
3rd final table for me, definately the best I've played in an MTT.

My FIRST MTT win !!!!!

$15 buy-in at Pacific tonight - 500 people - $2,500 Dancing Dancing Dancing

What a week - first Liverpool win the European cup, then I bag my first MTT. Must be something in the air Very Happy

Got a huge chip lead early on (80-100 BB) and kept it right to the final table. Was great playing as the bigstack throughout, with everyone on my table imploring the dealer to move them or me off that table.

Thanks to everyone at FTR especially the regulars - you know who you are - couldn't have done it without all the help from this site.
