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.

TanO, you should have been in irc when you were deep in that, could have been funny with you and ping battling it out.

1st out of 87 in Pacific $10 LIMIT tourney

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.

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