I played a $1.25 , 45 person tourney on FT last night and won 1st place, $17.10.
I came in 4th on the 24th, but this is as good as I have done on FT.
I know this is micro limits, but all I can afford right now. For the most part everyone played very good cards.

Then I turned around and lost $3.30/90 person, Knockout, dbl start chips, went out 43rd with KK in the hole.

Enjoyed it very much. Someday I will be able to play in the CT Tourney's on Thursday.

Congrats on the win!

Now that you've the taste of victory in your mouth, anything less will feel....not so good.

Now for the most difficult thing in all of poker - to figure out if you played well or if you got lucky! Enjoy the victory and its spoils.

Congratulations Russ! Nicely done.

I just played another same type tourney and got 2nd for $11.25

Maybe after all these months on P*s I have found what I can do best here at FT.

Congratulations! You'll always remember your first time..

Thanks everyone, I have slowed my play somewhat in the later stages and being more agressive in the beginning to build my stack for the bigger blinds. I learned this from CT posts and it is working ok for now.
Hope I can keep it up.

I hope I get one of the e-mails everyone else is getting, as maybe I can earn a few pennies from it.

Here's wishing everyone good luck in your games.

Now, now... everyone knows that winning poker is a combination of good play and luck.

Congrats, RussB. Keep it up.
