    well doen very nice score.

    in large field tournies everyone needs luck to win at some point in them.  but also to come thru some kind of massive field it shows that you ahve a decent grasp of the game.

    your skillset may be more suited to tournies/SnG, so stick to them and avoid cash games.

    yeah rebuys tournaments are super high variance as theres normally alot of shoving in the rebuy stage just to build a massive stack up for later, im sure there was a huge amount of luck involved in coming first, but as scotty said to get deep and finish it off you will have a reasonably solid fundamentals and patience!

    congrats on the score
