Congratulations on your win. Maybe not huge as you say but a big one The prize money also very good for your buy in and having in mind saying you have won second places a few times, you must have a very good return from the specific tournament. Good luck in your next tournies and even more in higher limits

Never good losing more than winning But if you manage to even things up at some point, will be better. Then it is like doing a new start Kids some times leaving you no time at all for anything else than them

And it is better blowing some steam in a game where you have the chance to win something back or even more, unlike to some others wasting tons in online games.

Thats some serious time away from your family. Did you have this job before you got married or decided you have to work there after you got married, lol.

WoW...! Nice little bundle of cash there,...! More than I've ever won in one shot...! I've won $100...!
I've had many friends work in the oil patch... Lots of tough long gruelling shifts stuck in the middle of nowhere... Good money...! ...and with nowhere to spend it most of the time,...it adds up fast...!

I work out west on and off and the money is amazing. Also congrats on the win, I played a few last year and managed to take one down, it really adds to a bankroll and the amount of time to play isn't bad.

cheers mate one big win that is for me, looking at the numbers and really glad you won it and hope you continues on this trends the winning of the first one is sweet right and you should go for more and i heard that 180 man sng is the way to build your roll, anyway keep up the good work and hope you continues to wins mate. Cheers maybe i 'll give 180 man sng a try as i am low on my bankroll and want a big win to get back in profit. later man hope to see your next win!
