That's right your boy TheIrish77 just took down this 0.22 cent 75$ gtd rebuy with just the 1 bulklet needed plus the 5k chip add-on so only invested 0.42 cents total to make 37.42$ for the victory.
Not the biggest score of my life but a victory is always sweeter than 2nd place no matter what the prize may be!
Played some sick hands and obviously got lucky in certain circumstances but hey who doesn't in a long run like this. took 3 hours and 50 minutes to complete and i can say i help u pstring on multiple tough decisions and usually i made the correct one! Laying down Aces was probably the best thing i could've done to win this whole thing!
that's it from me for now and will maybe play some tomorrow or the following day!
have a great afternoon/evening/night where ever you guys may be!

Thanks teddy mate ! yeah i will certainly be playing some 5.50$ buy-ins but probably not much higher at this point! we'll see how that goes first and then make a bigger jump later on. with the fall coming and winter soon after work will dry up pretty quick for me so i'll be hitting the tables full-time in late October early November!

Congratulations once more. After watching the screenshot, where you had that huge lead, only very bad luck, would have stopped you from taking it down Well done, and "same" luck on your next tournament

Big congratulations on winning the $75 guaranteed tournament at Americas Card Room. You invested only $0.42 and made a nice profit of $37.00. A $37.42 first place prize is nearly equal to 170 $0.22 initial buy-ins. Very well done.

Congrats, beautiful return on the investment, buddy! Of course sick hands and some overall luck will always factor into results like this as you mentioned so nothing new here to be honest, but at least some mobsters could be successful on a constant basis and that is something.

It's always a very nice feeling whenever you take down one of these and you should be feeling very proud of your achievement. Like you say, you got lucky at times but everyone needs luck, is very true in any game

I know this feeling of joy when me win the first place in tournaments with real money or not. Of course, the amount of money is not important for little buy in but happiness is well received. Congratulations for the 1st place in this tournament and for your good game.

Hey TheIrish. Anothersuccess for you to tell us all about. A nice little ROI from the flyweight at party. I really must get to playing more poker tournaments but don't seem to be able to find the overall time at the moment to commit to tourneys. Looking forward to seeing you at the tables pretty soon. Keep up the good work.
