My first post in this topic but my 4th FT in last 3 weeks.

$5 freeze-out on AP. 377 entrants.

Took 3rd place = $188.00

ok maybe this is lame as hell but....lol

26th in a 5 + .50 @ pokerroom (545 players)

for all of $ 20.77!!!

(was first ITM appearance in a loooong time , I dont play MTTS that much, but it was nice to make it that far..had just been reading HoH2 , and reading some posts here before I played, it was surprisingly easy actually... i was a coinflip away (shortstacked) from making it much deeper into the money)

I don't know if I should be proud of this, but I'm going to post anyways. 1st out of 1500+ players. It's just a freeroll, and the only prize is an entry in the final tourny, but I get a shot at Vegas now!

This was my first final table ever. Good to see that I'm finally getting some results from playing MTTs. I think I was heads up for more than half an hour, in the end
his 97s beat my K9 when I pushed. Thanks to Tracey, Sykedupp and those watching final table at vent, helped a lot.

Congrats - the way these suckers are taking off, we are going to have to add a $22 180 man tourney section as its own section.

well i'm not posting a win, but i had my best day in poker yesterday. Made both final tables of the 30+r on dise.

took 2nd in dise 30k for 6,000
and 7th in dise 60k for 2,600~

a little bit disappointed with the 7th in the 60k, i definitely couldve had a top 3 finish if things had gone more my way. the cards didnt really cooperate for me however. tied in a pot where i had a guy dominated then went out 1010 to JJ.

was a great feeling though i hope i can continue to do well in these tournaments.

4th place for $1,367.40

I was big stack for the last 1/3 of the tourney, but final table was crazy and when it finally hit 4 players, I was mid-short stack. And this guy to my right just kept pushing and pushing at my blinds, so I finally took a stand and pushed back w QTs - he had 99 - hit a T on the flop (yeah!) and he runner-runnered for a 6-T straight.... bastard... (j/k)

Couldn't have done it without you guy's great discussions and advice! Especially chardrian. Thx, dude. You keep me thinking. Next time - 1st place.

I'm relatively new the MTT scene (mainly a cash player previously), but I've played a bunch of them over the last month and am now going deep consistently. Finally notched my first win yesterday:


Pokerroom, $30+3
1st place (out of ~190)
Prize: $1602

Followed that up with a 7th the same day, and then today:

Pokerroom, $50+4
4th place (~270)

Ok so I know this is the Winners section but 2nd place is still good......

Last night 2nd place in the $2.25 MTT against 133 players - won $50ish

Tonight 2nd place in the £2.25 MTT against 322 players - won £100ish

Just got back to playing poker in the last week - been concentrating on Ring Games and doing well so thought I would play some MTT - so good start - hopefully a win is coming soon.
