Congrats mike 
maybe we should start a $ earned league just for competition purposes, I'm sure to be near the bottom but it sure would make things interesting

3rd and £1,120 in what I believe was the same £14K GTD which Pingviini won, if I remember rightly he knocked me out with AK v K10 on a K high flop. GG.

1st out of 87 in Pacific $10 LIMIT tourney
$255
I think I might be the only person here who actually plays limit tourneys. Blind stealing and position raises learned here at FTR proved crucial to winning this.

How long did that take Lonnie? Wondering if it takes longer to play a limit tourny.

Took 3.5 hours. Once the blinds get up there, it becomes a blind stealing contest just like NL tourneys do.
