edited September 2012 in Brags, Beats and Variance
Ok so some of you may know that im new to poker.  Ive been getting right into it using free rolls and bonuses.  Never won a tournament but had been getting near the number 1 spot!

Now on another site i entered a 7 dollar tournament to win a 66 dollar seat to a tournament!  I came first with 35,000 chips, i was at the top prettymuch the whole game but nearly lost it when i lost concentration.  

Proud of my self and i hope and can do well with the next tournament!

    yea its good fun to play home games with your m8s and the more you play the more experience you gain. At least you have had a taster to winning a satalite and playing a main event. Main thing to remember is dont get too excited and play within you bankroll. You may get lucky and you may get ul its part of the game but staying within what you can afford to lose keeps it fun. Read up on here go to the clinic with hands and keep playing and im sure you can wipe out your m8s ;) i started out that way playing with friends and did quite well and i got the bug for the game then and came online.

    Thanks for the reply, i have been going on poker strategys website.  Really helpfull and didnt know about bank roll management untill i watched their video, great peace of information and without it i would probably lose what ever i deposited.
