i just started playing big mtts for $$ on pokerstars and im off to a pretty good start
ive play 5 nl tourneys so far im 2/5 itm with 2950% roi :D
the two tourneys i placed in were 11th out of 1200ish and 1st out of 1200ish for $26 and then $190 for the other
the tourney i got 1st in in the prize was $220 but when it came down to the last 3 people i had 1.2million in chips and they each had around 300k so i agreed to chop the pot since i was going out to dinner 15minutes after we chopped and figured id be better off just taking the $190 instead of rushing through the rest of the tourney

i thought i posted this a couple days ago but i guess i didnt heres a screen shot of my first big win online win :D

thanks guys
yeh normally i dont have to much patience which is something ive been working on and ive been getting better with it mainly by watching tv or a movie whenever i start getting bored or impatient which has been helping but it makes it alot harder to get reads on people when your watching the tv and only your cards lol so i still gotta work on that

Great Job Matt!

Think about it 1118 entrants x 1500 chips each and you got every last one of them!
