The First Tournament I ever won...was a let down LOL

The first big tournament I ever won was on Ultimate Bet. It was New Year's Eve and my wife had to work so I was home with the kids instead of Partying. Anyways, I played well, and stayed away from dangerous hands, got into a run where I couldn't miss. You know that hot streak people tend to ride too long, well not me, not on that day. There was just short of 5,000 entries to the tournament and I was new to UB, so anyway I make short work of the final table and think sweet, I've got some money in my account, only to find out all I won for my 4 hours of Holdem' was a rinky dink POLO SHIRT! I was destroyed. LOL .......I still wear the shirt tho.

I guess you didn't know it was a UB Gear freeroll. The shirts are nice. GL

yeah, they aren't bad, rather would had the money in my account, hard to buy into a tournament with a cotton polo, LMAO anyways, ty and gl 2u2

You could probably buy into some of the smaller tournaments with certain sweaters or turtlenecks.

Sometimes wanting is worth more than getting.

I know what you are saying about prizes. Sometimes I play in tournaments not knowing what the pay off will be. Only to find out later that I won my way into some small freeroll at a later date. Had I known this in the beginning I probably wouldn't have played.
