This probably isn't a big enough win to deserve mention in this thread, but I'm posting it anyway because it's my first Top 5 finish. I've been working hard on becoming more of a loose aggressive player and I really think I'm making progress, thanks to everyone who contributes to this forum!

Pstars 180-man 1st place $1080

I called my shot in the IRC chat on the third hand of this tourney. On the 5th hand I doubled up and 4 hours later I won. Thanks to all the IRC guys who railed me for the final table, it was the most pathetic thing Ive ever seen, I must have stole 80% of the pots once we got to 3-way. P.S. Thanks to rippy who told me to push a raise HU even though the guy had only raised once in the last 50 hands, and he folded giving me a 5-1 chip lead as opposed to 3-1.

I also just won a 180 man $22 tourney for $1080. No railbirds for me tho. The money is nice tho. Mine went 4 and a half fricking hours though. With like an hour heads up.

$10 freezeout 1/417 for $1045

..felt good after a very shitty night

ohh yeah, that win was on pokerroom by the way..chip leader in a $5 freezeout right now, kinda playing shitty and wreckless, but we'll see how it goes :P

Party Poker, $30 freezeout last night (the 6:14 game), 250 entrants... 2nd place. $1100 payout approx. My first real cash, woo hoo!

(Should have had first too, as I had the chip lead and played better than my opponent in heads up, but he caught one minor and one major lucky break for the win. d'oh!)

Pacific Poker.

Futurepoker's opening promo freeroll
Second place for a whopping 50 dollar. 84 entrants.

Still my best result and highest MTT win, even if it seems a bit puny here. I guess we all have to start somewhere
Bad thing was I suck so horribly at headsup I managed to waste a 70K to 25K chip-lead...
Good thing is that playing shorthanded doesn't scare me so much anymore.

At least I have a bankroll to play lowstake MTT:s there now.

30+3 Freezeout on PokerStars

2nd place for 2,600$

omg i'm in the winners circle

After two 3th and one 2nd place this week, now my first win! 10$ fixed limit, 100 entrants, first price 300$.

Limit is no fun though, so I'll try to win a NL tournament soon too :P

Srry just wanted to post in here, its been a while.

Yahoo!! First FT ever!

Fortune $5.50 Freezeout

3rd place for $102

Party $10+1 MTT NL Tourney

$898.13

Party Poker
$1 MTT NL
6/3500 for $140

All I did for the middle three hours (ended up 2nd overall after about 2 hours) was camp for big hands. If I lead I rasied 2 1/2 BB, everyone folded there, to my continuation bet, or I hit the flop and took them down.

This is only my 8th MTT. I owe it all to FTR.

Congrats to soupie for winning the $10 $45 k guaranateed on Stars.

Crypto 2+0.25 GBP Freezeout, 253 entrants, 3rd place for 50 GBP (~80$)

Modest in comparison to some of your great acheivments but it's my biggest online MTT win so far.

Inter-Poker (Crypto Network) Player ID = Sadist
"Tourney 1477016", on Dec 2 2005 10:55PM GMT. (5 GBP buy-in)
placed 1st out of 199 and won 298.50 GBP

The style of play of the European players relly suits my game well, I'm not saying they're weak, just a different style, maybe less maniacs at the table lets my big hands hold up more?? For those who haven't tried a European site I highly reccomend it.

Wow, I just won a WPT package for April at Bellagio. Unreal.
