Well, I didn’t win the poker tournament, but I did get 2nd place for a cool $8300.  I invested $30 and 6 hours of my time and had a nice cash.  I started playing around 10:00 pm, kind of a last minute thing.  I noticed that the tournament was starting in about 10 minutes, so I registered before I took a shower, showered up and begin my adventure.  What an awesome feeling!  Out of 1890 people, I lasted 6 hours and ended up with some nice change in my pocket.  Now I can take some of this money, pay off some bills, blow a little, then put it back into the poker game.  Only thing to do is to keep playing and improving. But man, what an AWESOME feeling :).  I woke up feeling REAL good this morning :).  I’ll keep you guys posted on my status…
