YES! Yes yes yes! (Tourney win) :D

I won the $25k Guaranteed on Full Tilt!

I'm so ecstatic right now

. My first tourney win ever! I've been having really rotten luck in tournaments but everything finally clicked. No bad luck and even some very good luck thrown in! I was big time shortstack at the final table, happy with my appearance and looking forward to the couple hundred I'd win, but time went by, I never got knocked out, and I somehow ended up with all the chips!

Whewwwwwww. I don't know if I'm going to be able to sleep tonight

As a job-less college student, this kind of money is a huge deal to me!

Thank you everyone on Cardschat. I've learned a lot on here, and it surely contributed to my victory.

Awesome, that's a great result. Well done.

#3 08-02-2007, 9:55 AM

VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY nice job combu

5 ****ing grand. Congrats dude; well deserved - we all know how your luck has been lately, and you more than deserve this win.

So what you gonna blow the winnings on?

EDIT: I'm sure others would love to see a HH on the tourney. Just to see how it all went down.

Very nice job, m8.

Forget what Chuck says - don`t you dare blow the winnings. I suggest you put at least a couple of Gs away in a nice high-interest account and keep it for a rainy day. If you`re a jobless student, who knows when you`ll ever have so much spare cash again ?

#5 08-02-2007, 10:54 AM

Wow! That's amazing, well done. I remember my times as a student and that money would be a massive bonus. Would be massive bonus at any time!

Congrats again.

#6 08-02-2007, 11:16 AM

Congrats combu.

Well earned money

Hope you will also well spend it (as egon said think about saving some of it on an account as you never know what future will like m8)

Pfff. Do the sensible thing and get an oversized bottle of JDs.

Wow, nice result congrats. These $24 tourneys on FT are fantastic, soft as hell, but still great money if you final table them. Have a step back from the tables for a few days and evaluate where to go from here

#9 08-02-2007, 12:04 PM

Wow, really really nice win.

CONGRATULATIONS

That is a really nice chunk of change, go update the bankroll thread now.

#10 08-02-2007, 12:18 PM

That is so cool - very happy for you. Great job on final table - that took some patience and smarts.

Leave yourself some decent bankroll since it is so hard to get money in now, take the rest out and use it wisely so you can focus on school with fewer money issues.

#11 08-02-2007, 12:29 PM

nice job! well done

#12 08-02-2007, 12:49 PM

When I was reading the title, I swear all I was hearing was "Herbal Essence" commercials, thinking it was related to shampoos that give women well, whatever u want to imagine. Only saw the yes's, lol, sorry, a bit tired right now, very late here.

Anyways, very nice win!!

#13 08-02-2007, 12:57 PM

Congrats!! Thats a massive chunk of change!! Well Done!

#14 08-02-2007, 1:57 PM

awsome, if I can make a suggestion...invest it wisely...lotto tickets, imagine what you'll get if you buy 4,820 lotto tickets

#15 08-02-2007, 2:44 PM

#16 08-02-2007, 2:50 PM

Awesome win there. Take some cash and splurge. Take some more and bankroll a few sites. Pay bills and put that last thousand away. Here's to many more!

#17 08-02-2007, 4:32 PM

That's amazing. Well done!

#18 08-02-2007, 4:39 PM

Way to go! Very very nice win. Be sure to buy yourself something nice.

#19 08-02-2007, 4:43 PM

Great job man! Excellent! Hopefully that will bring some luck to the rest of us here!

In my experiences, these things come in waves so hopefully you have a long ride with this wave and get a few more of these.

Great Win!

#20 08-02-2007, 4:52 PM

#21 08-02-2007, 5:02 PM

Dude, that's insane... Pretty sick boost to the roll eh ? Congrats!

How did you react right after the win? I know I would crank some music and go running around my house acting like a freaken idiot...

#22 08-02-2007, 5:11 PM

Wow!

Congrats and well done!!

(on a sadder note: You did have to beat up on of a "brave lil puppy" to win

)

Were you on your own at the time or was someone with you watching?

(and here's your world ranking

Great job. Don't save the money or pay bills, blow it all on booze, drugs, and hookers. It's the only way to go.

Did this one by my lonesome actually. I debated making a topic about it so people could rail, but I was really quite nervous and I didn't want to put any more pressure on myself!

Thank you all for your kind words! Ahh what an exciting day

#34 09-02-2007, 5:05 AM
