Beginner's Luck!

I won the UltimateBet Tourney last night!
This was my first Cardchat tournament . Up until now, I've just played the UltimateBet freerolls with 5000 players. I've made final table there, but never won the whole enchilada.

The tournament ended about 11:30PM CST, so I went right to bed afterwards. Unfortunately, my brain did not want to cooperate with the whole "sleep" thing.

Me: zzzzz....
Brain: We won!
Me: Huh? Wha? Yes, yes we did. Go to sleep Brain.
Brain: Ok!

--15 minutes later--

Brain: Wake up! We won!
Me: Right. We've covered that. We have to get up and go to work in the morning. Go to sleep.
Brain: But we WON!
Me: I'll make a deal with you, Brain. Go to sleep now, and I won't kill off portions of you with beer this weekend.
Brain: Really!?
Me: ....No.
Brain: Drat.

This went on until about 4am. I am dog-tired this morning, but happy.

Congrats and hope you keep playing w/ us.

Congrats - glad you enjoyed it and made a little bit of cash.

LOL, loving your post. Congrats on the win. Glad you had a good time.

good luck to you ...............

Agreed, nice post, it made me laugh. And congrats on winning it.

Zohl first of all ,congrats on your win last night. Having watched the tournament until the end, having ended up 11th myself, i watched your impressive comeback from the shortstack when it was 4 handed. As for your win being beginner's luck, I don't think so.

Many thanks for all the kind words!

I'm glad you were there to see me pull that win out. Honky69(?) had me 4-1 on the chipcount at the start. If I was going to have any chance at all, I was going to have to attack, attack, attack. At some point he lost his nerve and I just ate through his chip stack on his folds. Once I had him off balance, I was relentless with the raising. It could have gone very, very differently. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
