CCIE SOON
First off thank you for all the tips on my last post. I tried hard to take the advice and stay focused on my game, and it appears to have paid off. I knew i was close based on my previous hands, but tonight i was able to put it all together. It was surprising too, as i dont think i caught even 1 group 1 hand! I just played what i had and tried to stay focused and observant. I know it seems retarded, only winning 20 bucks but it was my first win and im stoked!!!

Feel free to critique!

Theres nothing "retarded" about winning, $5 or $500 a win is a win.

Based on your stats 7/8 win for showdown is great. Perfect is nearly impossible.
Pots won without showdown looks fine for a short 70 hand tourney.

If you post the full hand history we can make a better judgement of your game. (please edit out the extra hands that you folded preflop, unless you felt it was a critical decision.)

Drawing any conclusions from those numbers based on such a small sample size is silly. Anyone can take down 7/8 showdowns with hot cards.

I can see 2 decisions from 7/8 hands won.
Either his opponents are just stupid calling A-high all the time, or he's getting good cards.

Thats why I asked for a hand history.

Here is another, guess the curse has lifted, 2 nights in a row!

You finished in 1st place (eliminated at hand #670644547).

110 hands played and saw flop:

Was a little more sloppy this time around but more aggressive with pot stealing. One notable thing though, when we got heads up, i lost almost my entire stack on the first hand, it was roughly 11k to 2k with me being the major underdog. I battled for a while and finally won a couple straight pots. Finally got even and knocked him out on a full boat, Q/3. Here are a few of the notable hands:
