I took first in a $2.25, 180 player SNG today for $97.20...
Keep in mind...
I am a micro limit grinder. My bankroll is now double what it was this morning. At my current earn rate, I would have had to play 2,374 hours to make the profit from this MTT. 
I got lucky enough, but thought I played well. I was actually surprised that my HU play was decent, because I have not played HU in a long, long time. It helped that I had the big stack going into the final table 
Thanks everybody!!! |

Thanks everyone. I've lost about half of it between MTTs and moving up a limit (I am a gambler). Got creamed at the 0.50/1 full ring (see my post regarding high pocket pairs). Haven't lost it all though. Think I'll move back down to 0.25/0.50 (which is probably still to high for my little BR). I'll probably get PTF and PTF2 for my birthday (in October) and take a shot at the MTTs again. They are more fun  . |

Well done and i hope you learned a valuable BR management lesson as well  the first few hundred bucks of a bankroll are by far the hardest to earn, don't forget it |

Did it again, and i haven't even gotten my MTT strategy books for my birthday yet. Very excited!
As a side note, does anybody know how to get your full tournament history from Full Tilt? I can only pull up a screen that shows me my tournaments for the last 7 days. I haven't been keeping track of all the ones that I lost and would like to figure out my ROI... |

If you email support and ask them they can send you a spreadsheet of every tournament you've ever played there. |

Cool, I'll do that and then post it here. Maybe someday can get some backers, although, I am doing best in the little $2 180s so I don't really need backing. Still think it would be fun to put myself to the test and shares would be rather small. So, little risk involved if i continue to run good.
I seem to run great once I become the big stack. I bully a lot and quickly have about twice as much as second place.
last night when I got heads up at the FT, the guy said "I want to go to bed". Very short heads up when he pushed something like J9o into a pocket pair (55 or something) |

| Played the same tournament tonight. Didn't win it, but got into the money. 7th place. I love this tournament! $2.25 for a nights worth of entertainment. I've played this tournament 4 times, got 1st twice, ITM 1 time, and busted on the bubble once. |
