Hello fellow mobbies
After a couple of days without spare time , i decided to play some poker yesterday and well first i got up from about $10 to a little over $100 before i thought allright time to cash some of it out . SO i cashed in for 50 euros about 75 USD and later on i decided allright i'll play this tournament for $12 buyin after i had build my roll to $37 so basically i participated in a $12 1R or 1A tournament on pkr and found myself going pretty strong all the time so i reached final table and there it was atleast a $40 pay but i wanted more and kept playing quite strong and quite agressively AANNDDDDD i took the tournament down!i saw the figures $325 <3 , never been so happy about poker its my first 'big' win for me since for me 250 euros is a lot of money as seen the fact that i am only 18 years old and that is about a month of paycheck i cashed a total of 250 euros out and i am like so happy well that's my little poker story peace out mobbs

jeffaboy, Congratulations! You must have become wild when you realized how much have you won with that first prize? I bet you made a lot of print screens, i'm saying this because i've had that behaviour with much lower values and that would be my first thought if i happen to win that much! And why not making that the image of your monitor? It can seem too much, but it can also work as an incentive to a new goal!

Cheers congratulations for those wins, looks like some up s and downs but you managed to be in the green in the end. So good luck on your future multi table tournaments, I do not know how you can play MTTs and how other people can too, it's too time consuming and so tilty when you get busted near the bubble. So itend to avoid it so as not to tilt away my bankroll lol!

a VERY nice win there jeffaboy congrats on that,i hope you can keep it up. Not sure about the $12 buy-in with a BR of only $37 though. I'm sure others may have something to say about that.

Yeah i know its too high of a buy in to be normal with a $37 BR but was happy with 50 eur of profit already so i could not really care a lot and well this time it turned out good - peace guys
