Could this be the luckiest day of my poker life so far. I'm three places away from the final table in the daily dollar rebuy. I'm shortstacked but I'm surviving. First place is $3300 but to be honest I'd be content with the $112 I already have. It's odd but I'm not that excited as though I have the chance of earning the largest prize I've ever had in one single tourney.
At the same time I'm playing the later dollar rebuy, the one that some of you may remember me complaining about and promising myself not to play again. And I'm currently 220 of 1369 in that. Been doing well for the last two hours but a long way to go in this one.
Do I dare consider the possibility of winning 5000 dollars tonight?
------------ update: I've reached the final table and I'm in 3rd position. Now I'm starting to feel things getting interesting.

good luck man, makes a big difference where you come on that FT, normally just the top 3 or 4 that pay proper $$

Finished in 7th place. A little disappointed but I'm happy with the $340 I won. That is the biggest prize I've won to date on any poker site.
Still in the other tourney but I'm pretty average in chips now. Made the payouts but they are of course extremely small for now and I'm probably gonna pack it in before they get worth my attention.

$340 is good and congrats, but I've had similar performances before and I know how much it hurts to be in an mTT for that long and be sooooo close to some pretty nice cash $3K+ wooOt ,. ah well - still, well done man

Congratulations sir!
I once won 300 € (1st place in a freeroll at Unibet), it was the second time I ever played a tournmanet, and thought like: F**k! This is easy! I'm gonna quit my dayjob!!! (Not that I'm saying you are a noob, but I still remember the feeling of winning big...)

VERY nice awood. I've tried that rebuy twice, and twice got booted on the bubble. I was going hard though, at the bubble, to get more ahead, and it was fatal.
