Grats to you, very well done, I love to see that a mobster made it. I was also playing in this, but was busted out by a guy who played nearly every hand. I was card dead the first half an hour. Then got AA on the button, UTG limped in, one guy at MP raised to 4BB, they guy who played and raised nearly evey hand called this raise. So I thought this is perfect situation to me and I shoved in my stack in the middle (hoping that one of them calls). The first raiser called as well as the donkey did. Flop came up and the first card I saw was an A to give me trips of Aces, I smiled when I saw the original raiser with KK in hand. Then I saw donkeys cards with 6,7 club and I realized two additional clubs on flop (including my A) I began to pray.... Turn was nice.... River was
So I went out of this pretty early unfortunately, but with the feeling that I didn´t played it wrong and with a bit of luck I could have made it in the money with trippling up my stack at this hand.

Who would say someone like you would get such huge victory? Don't get me wrong, but, once you are new around here and, till now, you have only shown more concern about post signatures and design stuff rather than poker matter, this is like a great revealance. I fell very happy for you since now you should be more respected as a BRM member (you already were before, but now its like if you have a title behind you)!

Posted by TheMachineQC: hahaha, when I saw the picture I was like this isn't right, he won 587 USD and he gets less CAD...? Then I saw the date of the topic
The canadian dollar was worth more than the US dollar 5 years ago. And now, it's at 0.70$/1.00$.
That's a pretty drastic change in only 5 years. I wonder what happened to our economy. Besides Stephen Harper that is
