2+2 = winning money in MTT's????

OK, so I've been lurking and reading 2+2 for a couple days, and I finally joined today (yesterday now i guess). Since then, I cashed in 2 straight Party MTT's, won $103 in a $30 tourney, and now I just WON a $20 tourney with 1120 players for $4704!! Definitely my biggest win ever, best before was a $2200 victory in a live tourney. Thanks to everyone for all the insight I gained in such a short time, apparently it made a difference!

Step 1 - join 2+2
Step 2 - lurk
Step 3- profit

Nice job on the tourney win!

Not to hi-jack or anything, but I had my first 4 digit score a few days ago. This board is so +EV, it isn't even funny.

Congratulations!

But be careful & realise that these wins could be at least partly explained by variance.

You will not win $4K everyday. Also be very careful to not hastely jump to much higher limits. (Advice from a guy who had a similar run to yours and who is now sitting with a tiny bankroll).

Apart from that welcome to 2+2! Joining this forum is probably the biggest +ev decision of your poker "career".

Peace.

Thanks for the advice. I've also had to learn from experience that a big win doesn't mean that you can suddenly jump up to higher limits. That didn't work out too well for me the first time. I plan to stick to my low limit no-limit cash games with the same $20-30 buy-in tourneys on the side for a while until I really prove something to myself. Plus there is the fact that I need some of my winnings to pay off my credit card bill! Tournament poker brings with it so much variance that I am well aware that I'm not going to be winning like this every week or month, let alone every day. Regardless of the future, I'm one happy poker player right now. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

***RESULTS MAY VARY***

While I have joined 2+2, I still have not done exceptionally well in MTTs or SNGs.

I have, however, been squashing the ring games like a bug. 2+2??

I thought it was

Step 1 - Steal underpants

Step 2 - ?

Step 3 - Profit

Oh, wait that's the underpants gnomes, nevermind...

Congrats, btw

Well done. I just love the blank looks on the gnomes faces. "Hey, what's step number two?" Blank stare. A good laugh for sure.

Variance. I KNOW this forum is +EV, is making you better, and is a great, great resource, but don't get too set on short term results. I was having the worst downswing of my career, and have now rebounded nicely from the depths. My sincere congrats and well wishes for continued success. Just don't get over your head after two nice scores in a short time frame.
