Too bad it wasn't a bigger tourny (was just a 25K guaranteed, nothing bigger was going on unfortunately) - still, I'll def take it :pimp

Very nice, I have yet to win 1st in one of the big ones.

That's awesome! Not bad for a $25 buy in.

Congrats, that's an awesome payout for a $25 buyin.

congrats

buy me presents

Nice work if you can get it bro !

;-)

thats a sweet win dude

How many hours did you spend with that ? I remember myself dying infront of the computer when went on a turney, and fell out cause i was half dead sleeping when i was 45th position.

Like 7 hours...unfortunately it wasn't a Turbo so blinds were every 15 mins...but for 900$/hour and some good practice I guess I could live with the length :)

Damnnnn you've been kicking ass lately :thumbsup

That's pretty nice. Nice money for playing poker on net.

congrats very nice

Yeah that makes 3 tournys in a row :winkwink:

How's Vegas????

Kick ass. What site did you play at?

Pokerstars.

I play on 5 or 6 diff sites (still prefer live games though above online), but PStars has the biggest tournys I find most often.

Congrats :thumbsup

Niiiiiice.

The good times keep rolling!! I just won a $5K package to the LAPT here in Costa Rica. As if that wasn't good enough, since it's here in CR I can keep all the 'travel expense' cash :)

I'm up $50 so far from Pai Gow :1orglaugh

Holy fuck :1orglaugh

Thats fucking awesome man. :thumbsup

So how many poker books have you read and how many years are you playing?

Congrats to you man!!!I'm envious!:thumbsup

I've never read a poker book.

I started playing Hold'Em maybe 2-3 years ago but played maybe one game every few months usually at a Webmaster show. I've been playing regularly (ie. few times a week) online only for few months now.

Nice win... good luck trying to cash that out... hahahaha, unless youve got 15% in poker points.. which is about 600 poker points...

I've got close to 4000 points in PStars, so that's no issue.

fuck yeah...that must have been fun as hell at the last table

Good stuff man..good for you

Keep us posted how ya do at the LAPT!

congrats Varius! So drinks on you next time we catch up!! :)
Have a great week.. hit me up on yahoo.. I still refuse to get ICQ lol..

Aaliyah Love

Will do...first I head down to the Dominican Republic this Friday though for the World Poker Showdown :)

The drinks are always on me at some point...on my shirt, on my pants...hehe

I should be online tomorrow at some point so I'll look for ya :winkwink:

Congrats, was funny playing against you at the PHX forum. Keep up the good work. :)

Well then...

Damn, nice payoff's man.

Congratulation's and good luck for more!

Mark.

Congrats.. I figured it was bots that won all the big and semi big pots.

Nice :)

A little bigger than my biggest tourney win ever on the old Party Poker used to do really good playing tourneys up to $50 but when they stopped taking US players I moved to Stars and never did good there and barely broke even and with all the time it takes I stopped playing
