First MTT ITM finish (celebration post)

QuadsOverQuads · #1 04-14-2005, 03:55 AM

I'm just starting to get the hang of NL and NL/MTT, so I decided to use up my (massive) stash of party points to get some experience via the freerolls. Well, tonight it finally paid off: I finished 20th out of a field of 2440 in the 50-point-buyin freeroll. Yep, you heard that right: I won a cool $6.25 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Now, if y'all will excuse me, I'm off to McDonalds to spend my winnings on that Big Mac I've always wanted.

Way to go! I don't remember my first MTT cash, although I do remember my first win. It was one of the daily 12:00 noon $20+2 NLHE's on Stars. Not sure if they even have those daily Noon $20's any more.

How about you look through the hand history of the tourney and post a few hands you have questions on--thereby making the tournament an even more valuable experience.

I noticed this huge smile growing on my face as I read this. Congratulations! Wait until you win one, nothing like it.

If you'd played a bit tighter, you could have moved up in the standings and afforded some fries!

PS: Congratulations

blah, blah, blah, Bush.
blah, blah, Bad.
blah, blah, blah, War in Iraq.

Or someting to that effect.

Ive read that there was sort of a shocked silence and alternately ive read that some people jeered him or hissed or whatever disgruntled conservatives like me do. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Im not sure what the reaction really was.
