i made my first final table on pokerstars in a MTT. 1800 plus players, it was only a 1+.10 buy in but hey i made it. i won 47 dolllars and change. i was short stacked but ahead of one other player. i was dealt AQ and went all in. got called buy the chip leader. he had pocket 8's and the flop came with the other two 8's. no big deal though. i was pretty stoked about it. i've learned a lot from this site and i wanted to give a big thank you to cardschat and all it's members.

"Sometimes I hate myself for learning this game" ---from your sig

I think that needs to be changed. You're loving that feeling of Final Tabling right now, that's for sure. One of the best feelings in poker and in life I would say.

#14 3rd June 2007, 5:14 AM

thanks chuck, i meant to post about that too. it was the first time i played on that theme, i made it today.

#15 3rd June 2007, 5:14 AM

ya know what estelle, i think you're right.

#16 3rd June 2007, 5:25 AM

The only MTT's I have experience in are the Full Tilt freerolls, and I have yet to break the top 50 just yet, but I feel a win coming on soon. Congratulations!
