Default Re: how long did it take to get your first win?

I've won only one +500 player tourney, and that was more than a year ago. Guess it took 1½ years of playing before that occurred. The amount of luck you need to cruise through and win a large tournament full of donkeys, is ridiculuos.

I know, it sometimes feels depressing when you see the same players start sweat threads night after night. But remember three things.

1. They're very good tournament players.
2. Most frequent sweat threads come from large buy-in tournaments with ~300, or less, entrants.
3. Those who frequently start sweat threads play loads and loads of tournaments every single day.
