I agree with you altough I have never experienced that time myself. Have some good friends that did though, but the challenge you have nowadays to sit at a final table and shipping the tourney while you've just beat the crap out of 2-3K entrants is nice.

Like everyone else, my friend !!!!!
Happy days back no longer, unfortunately. Today I give you much more value to my paltry levels 2.5bb/100 that when he broke a couple of years ago to 10bb/100 (poor guys, they were sooooo bad).

Wow. Having a €310K prize as his second large victory is nice and promising. Will he be able to handle the pressure of becoming a newbie amongst big winners. When a player starts to be well known, that also works as an handicap, opponents will have more attention in the hands they play against this guys…
