my best run was not online, it was in a couple of local tourneys. on a friday night in oct. i sat in a 27 person $20 tourney that i had played in twice and had taken 1st and 2nd in. this time i placed 2nd and pulled $140 out of...the very next night i played in a local tourney that was a $100 buy in with 135 people in it. i won it, it paid me $5400. the next monday my roommate invited me to a spread limit dealers choice game with the max bet being $10 pre flop and $20 there after. this game was full of maniacs who were raising my flushes with wired pairs. i pulled $1000 out of it. so after all was said and done, i turned $20 of my own into $6500 in the matter of four days. this is my 4 TDs at polk high, and i can't wait for it to happen again [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

thank you, coming from you this means a lot. i wish i wouldnt have been such a dumbass as i lived like a rockstar up until about two weeks ago when i went broke...im now humbly playing the 22s to try and get back up. rest assured, i will not be such a spendthrift when i do get back up.

I know my story isn't quite as exciting as everyone elses, but the first time I ever put money in PP, it was about 7 PM on a friday. I turned that initial $50 into $450 by midnight playing only $10 then $20 SnGs. I was sure I was the best player in the world, only to lose it all minus $100 I withdrew by Saturday night.
