Just won over $1,100 playing poker...
 

Stayed up all last night - absolutely no sleep - but did win over $1,100 last night playing in NL tournaments. The largest tournament I played in was $500 +25 - I was scared as hell playing but found myself in the chip lead with four people left - had 3 times more than the 4th place player - then my internet service goes down for about 45 min. I went f'n crazy - calling Alltel and they said they had a schedule maintenance fee - great. Anywho - I did end up finishing in 3rd place winning $900.00(profit $400.00). I guess one of the players went all in and I still had chips.... This was playing Poker Stars and my starting investment was only $60.00. I wont get into all the tournaments I played in but I did very well last night - I think I played about 8 or 9 tournaments placing atl least 3rd in all but ONE.... Winning 4 or 5 and of them.... not bad, eh?!

Okay I think I'm rambling because now I'm at work with no sleep at all and just wanted to vent on what I did last night for about 13 hours :p

Man, ive won about $4,000 since September but I can't even imagine playing in a $500 buy in tourney, I would be too damn nervous, lol. Congrats man.

It was insanely nerve racking but it was definitely worth the experience.

Oh, and call your ISP and get a list of times they plan on doing server maintance, if it had happened 2 minutes into the tourney you would have been screwed.

no shat - I would of been so pissed if I didn't win anything from that tournment!!!

I never even knew they did server maintance often...

How is it that everyone I see posting about poker is winning gobs of money? Someone has to be losing somewhere...

'cause when I lose I don't post it :p

those who've lost can't type anymore because they've either pawned their computer or Guido's broken all of their fingers. :)
