I deposited $10 on FT, my 1st deposit. I was only playing the 55c games and even though I was getting the hands, my luck wasn't holding up against the donks. Anyway, after getting donked down to $1.60, I now had the mentality I was just going to lose the rest. Tried another 55c MTT, a normal speed one, with constant antes. Played pretty solid, I think I only took one person out before the final table, and that was my 1st double of the game and I had aces. I managed to stay above average stack on about 20-40 bbs until just before the final table, I got 2 more double ups. By the final table I was in 3rd. I completely smashed it, people kept trying to bluff me but I had AA about 3 times, and KK about 4 times. I took out the person in second, at this stage I had about a 4 to 1 advantage over the other two remaining players. Then there was a slight battle but nothing to worry about heads up, and I'm $38.38 richer, with a bankroll I can now try to build properly.

Grats to you, very well done - keep it going like this. Now you have a Bankroll to play in these games. $ 10 is normally far to less to play in MTTs because of the variance. Nevertheless it worek out for you atm GL at the tables.

Well you probably scared the crap out of them! When Saddam shows up at the table lookin' like he just got out of bed in curlers (at least that what your avatar pic looks like from here) (or is that Saddams head, with the Queen's laquered hair-doo) it's likely to worry a few folks! Like what's this guy gonna do next....????
Good way to throw them all off... Toss in a few chemical farts at the table, and there ya go... success!
Anyhow,....nice haul there....$38 ain't too shabby!!!

G'day mate
Congratulations to you mate. I am glad to hear you did well. Keep up the great work. You are right that you can work with that bankroll and build upon it.

Ta guys I know I shouldn't of but yesterday I done a 55c rebuy, because I was feeling lucky. I came 13th, but I'd done 4 rebuys plus the addon so I only made like 40c. I was going well after being a donk at the beginning, just trying to get a stack. Then my luck ran out near the final table, weren't getting no more hands. On 8bb I shoved on KJ 's and came up against AJ 's....GAME OVER!

Haha unfortunately you can't upload a pic on FT. Mine, is the old mobster looking guy in a white suit with a cigar in his gob . Yeah the pic is just a photo shop edit, of saddam with his iconic beard, in a hairdressers, with his curlers on, getting ready for a night out.
