    How happy am I?
    So i'm playing poker regularly now for the past, ooh say 10 months. Won the odd freeroll ticket, the odd sit n go here and there, but tonight I had some time to kill and i signed up for a $10 MTT online. 217 runners, down, 3 hours later, I hit 1st place winning $658 in total.

    I'm buzzing! Just wanted to share it here, i know that may be all in a weeks work for some of you full time players, but to little ole me, it's a very welcome help to this years christmas presents :)

    Woo Wooooo!

    Dave

    Very nice one

    I'm still revelling in the fact that I came second in two college games to bring me a total of 240 euro, not bad considering it had cost me a tenner to play

    congrats Divers,

    now u know u can do it, the game all comes down to money management and choosing ur limits.

    spend the winnings as unwisely as you can! a nice trip to the Red Sea maybe or the new xbox?

    lol, indeed: especially if it's a bigger score.

    Congrats Divers.

    Great Result Divers....... Congrats.

    BTW, Where was this MTT, it seems like a nice one, I find it almost impossible to find any decent $10 FO's on-line without thousands of entrants. And 213 is just about the perfect number. Not too many but enough to make it worth while...

    Ste you should try the 20$ 180-person games on stars, if your bankroll can handle it. The standard is a little higher than a normal 20$ tournament but you should be fine.

    The prima network (GGamingClub, all-in poker etc.) also has MTT's with about 100-300 entries usually for 10$-25$ games. Actually pretty much anywhere other than stars and party will have these size fields.
