It was exciting and I was just getting lucky cards and winning. I placed third. I'm still not used to playing with the high blinds though... all those big numbers make me uneasy, but it's something I'm sure I'll get accustomed to.

Yeah, you know, there is small distance between short stack and game winning.
Several times when I got the game (won 1st place) I was underdog during cash prizes. However I was still in the game, and just waiting situation when everyone showed the slack to PUSHED all-in and steal the blinds. In this way I rebuilt my stack power and continue fighting.

I remembered. It was a euphoric moment;
In the nextday after my first deposit I won the tournament with a pokerstars ticket that I won with my firstdeposit bonus. Was a niceday. I can remember this sensation : " OHHHH, i'm the best player of poker that have ever existed.

well, that's a good question and brings up very good feelings.
My first final table was a freeroll, I thing I won something like $4,00 ..
It was already exciting, but I don't remember much, but after that, I graw My BR a bit on s&g and made my first final table of a buy in tourney, AND DAMN, I WAS FOCUSED, I was paying so much attention to everything, like, I had no words after I won, I went to my parents and show them, I was so happy, and it was only for $330, what for me, that play small stakes is VERY much .
It's a great feeling my dude, great to remember.
Feels good.

Wow it was 4 years ago on Bwin poker there was 1k freerolls with 3k max entrans . I played 3 hours then i got to the final table . That were the worst 25 mins because i finished 3rd with some prize of 50$ , i was chip leader but then i lose my QQ hand vs 2-10 from short stack player who draw on flop 2 2 K and then 10 on turn , river card was A . Then i saw AK of heart and i move all in but the chip leader pays me with KK and i lose . Winner won 220$ and 2nd place 120$.

this is the mestake lots of players make when they are chip leader bettiing high when pocket cards i just hold in mind pockets are good but can be defedet by lots of cards and i only bet high when the pocket card is on the tabel or els i stay low

Sorry, but I really don't understand what you wrote... and what exactly do you mean?
This Thread is not about wrong and right poker moves and strategies discussion. In here we just change our feelings how final tables won.

It's definitely the most exciting part of the game, and it makes the hours of work pretty much worth it.

Looking at my experience I can say, any HARD WORK willn't replace the ability to adapt to the table conjuncture.
If you can choose right situation when most players slow down, or just avoid unpleasant moments, you could be able to win Final Table.

I vaguely remember my first final table. But I remember losing to the final table, the prize of the first three places could change my life

I am his first final table won. But it was a game for play chips. However, I got a lot of pleasant sensations. And most importantly, I believe in its possibilities. Any victory brings us joy. And while it is important to have a successful game from time to time. .
Good luck everyone.
