What happened? Where was it? Etc.
Mine was at a Stars 5.50 rebuy. Rilla was my only railbird. I had a ton of chips, and got all in on an Axx frop with AT vs. 99. I got 2-outered and went out 5th. 
I figured this was more commune-worthy since there's no content.

I've yet to get very far in a MTT, although I've played maybe two dozen tops. I think I made the money once in the PS R&A. I just don't enjoy that form of poker much for a wide variety of reasons.

6th of 3500 in a $1 on Party. I don't remember what happened exactly, but I was being patient and was in 1st when the FT started and totally donked off my stack.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

sometime in the middle of last summer i made the final table of a 10 R & A on paradise. I ended up taking third for 1201 and essentially doubled my lifetime winnings. I had woken up early and started the tourny at like 8 AM. I remember the starting time because i had work at 3 pm that day and barely made it there on time. it was so tough going in to work for about 10 bucks an hour after that score. i was so nervous when it got down to the final table that at one point it was hard to click the mouse cause my hand was shaking a bit. when it got down to the final 4 i won a big JJ > AQ flip to bust the guy in 4th and take over the chip lead. 4 hands later lost a flip and then ran into AA when i pushed with AJ. was a litte bummed i didnt take it down but still ecstatic.

4/24/2005 $22 MTT with 821 players. Bankroll was like $60 (good br management hey!). Took 7th for $558. I was sooo happy but even more disappointed seeing as 1st place was $4.1k and it was like my second MTT ever. I think I then proceeded to lose all $558 in 2 weeks.
Still no win.

I FTed my first ever MTT, it was a bodog 40+4 25k guaranteed when it had those massive overlays
I came 5th or 6th (can't remember) for $1350
This is when I was playing $50 or $100NL so I was obviously thrilled. Sadly I haven't been able to play more than 10 of them because I have difficulties concentrating for so long, and because living in Australia, the tournament times are incompatible with any normal pattern of sleep.
I made one other FT 5th for $1650 in the same guaranteed tourney. Perhaps I'll play another one just for nostalgia.
Although... I am planning to participate in the $300+20 PLO8 WCOOP tourney on Stars as it's my best game. I don't care if it's 4AM my time

Maybe 6 months ago $3 turbo MTT on FT...came in 6th or something and two nights later in the same tourney I came in first for I dunno...$300 or so...I remember thinking how easy it was. I've played that tourney 4 nights a week since and I rarely cash and only made the final table once since.

Wayyyyy back around the time shortly before I first registered here I finished second in some $5+0.50 mtt. I won like $800 to add to my $90 bankroll. Then started playing 100NL and slowly started losing it to a $40 bankroll

Yeah, I think you sent me an IM like "OMG CALL CALL CALL" about 13 nanoseconds after the other guy pushed that flop.

March '06 I final tabled a Stars $20 180 tourney and took it down. It was a huge boost to the BR as I just started playing casually two months before on an initial $100 deposit.

not including SnG's, October 2005....Full Tilt $24+2 - 550 players, took 1st for $3,300....couldn't sleep for a few days - pretty damn exciting to do it....
what was crazy is that with 64 players or so, right on the bubble, i was short stack of the tourney - I had to survive like 4 double ups and then somehow just cruised - I barely made the money and then took it all down....awesome night

I may have made some smaller field tournaments on Noble before this, not sure. 6/30/06 $20K Guarantee on Empire. Finished 3rd, for $1718. Being afraid to lose, I never played any tournaments with a bigger buy-in than $30 unless it was thru a sat.

The beginning of june.
One of the first ,maybe the second, real money tournaments i played in.
It was a 5 dollar arruba classic sattelite with 23 people. Maniac beginners luck.
I was ok till I got past the bubble then I lost it. Got all nervous and flustered. Came in second, somehow. 42$
