Sorry for the self-absorbed post guys. I just took 4th place in a big money online tourney. I started playing poker about 4 months ago and this is my first big win. I won a little over 1200, which, to a college kid like me is huge. I am so excited I cant sleep without telling someone, and since my roommates are in bed, I decided to place the burden upon my 2+2 family. No response is required or expected. Just smile a smile for ne. A 2+2er who has been on a heck of a losing streak the last 2 1-2 weeks or so. Thanks for listening!

First, congrats.

Second, you owe it to your friends to wake their asses up and go celebrate (it's a friday night for [censored] sake)...they won't mind if you buy the first round.

Have fun. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Congrats guitar!

this is the exact thing that really catapulted (sp.) my game to the next level. I won a tourney (when I accidentally signed up for limit instead of NL) for $1870 and it helped me to move up more quickly and made me even more $$$.

Hopefully the same will occur to you!

gl and congrats.

Man, I know the feeling [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I got my first "big" tournament win 2 weeks ago and I went mad [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

It might've been less of a bankroll boost to me (I've played ring games for 2 years, but only got in tourneys recently), but I sure feel your joy !

Keep knocking 'em down !
