Nice one Tony. Hope this is the start of things to come for you. Remember the variance is quite high in MTT's but you'll always know that if you've done it once you can do it again. All the best to you mate, one tip tho "Don't tell the missus how much you won", she'll expect to spend more than you want!! Trust me it is always the way.
Well done again..................
GL to all you mobsters on and off the felt..............

Mobsters rule and you certainly proved it. Enjoy your winnings....get an apple and have some real fun. Interesting seeing Mansion graphics which are the same as Poker 770. Take it they are all part of the same group.

thanks alot people @marcwinz its too late bud she was there with me when i won it lol. yeah i know variance all too well its an old friend of mine lol.
@teddybears. the final hand was great (for me lol) we were close to even in chips i had 1.6m he had 1.5m, he raised the button n i just over min raised with 99. flop was 948 rainbow i lead out for under half the pot, he re-raised me (he only does this when he has hit) so i shove he calls and shows 98 for top two i was over the moon to see that hehe.
@damosk yeah they are all part of i-poker. and i only learned when playing that tourny that all i-poker skins play the same tournament. i never knew that lol. so when i was playing the 30k i was in mansion and someone was playing through titan and so on.

That's incredible! I've never even attempted to play a game that cost me more then $10.00 and that was a mere one time after I'd won over $300 on several SnG's. Greta win bullet!

Acer have some good laptops coming out lately. Relatively cheap (for what they are offering), from my searches, cause im looking for one too. Acer M5 15 inches has about 700 pounds. If they also bring a 14" for UK ill probably get that one. I want a good battery life and this one goes up to 8 hours.

urgh! well im out of the satalite. couldnt get anything going. i was down to about 12bb's and was sitting with AA in the bb. there was a min raise utg+1 then sb called when he only had 6bb's so i went all in utg+1 folded sb called and showed 10 5 os anyway he managed to get a str8 and now im sitting with less than 6bb's (anti's)
next hand he min raises and i shove with A4 he shows kj and what do you know? yup, hits his K on the flop.
oh well better luck next time i hope.
im currently sat with 29bb's just under average stack in a 15k guaranteed $10 rebuy. hope this one goes better

WoW ! What a buzz!
Let us know if/when anything is posted..
Also - maybe you should start a little blog or something on here, so we can track your rise to becoming a pro !
yeah im keeping an eye on it and will let you know
haha i doubt i'll be becoming a pro anytime soon if at all lol. i dunno about a blog either im not much of a writer lol. will just start a new thread every so often i think.
------------ oh well had a good run in the 15k. just busted out in 38th for $70, was going well. in the top 6 for a while then ran top pair into a set which left me with 10bigs. then next time round, open shoved my sb into bb who called and won.

Posted by Macubaas: ^ I think you are right, unless people subscribe to your blog thread many posts could pass not seen so making a new thread seems to be a better option
How many people usually register on the 33 dollars satellite for the $200k mtt??
im not sure ive only played it the once but the one i was in had over 400runners. which is not bad considering 70places get a ticket to the 200k guaranteed. so whats that? between 14 and 17% of the field gets a ticket? i dont think thats bad at all.
its an old friend of mine lol.
