This is definitely low content, this is the only forum that I really post in, and this is something that I wanted to share...

This weekend I played in my 6th MTT ever and placed SECOND! It was live, it was limit, and there were ~100 entrants. First time in the money, first final table; it was pretty fun.

Obviously, there was much luck involved, but I have to thank this forum for teaching me enough so that I didn't get in the way of that luck. Indeed, I don't recall having had to put my whole stack in until the last hand.

Most exciting hand (for me) went something like this:
There were ~23 players left, top 10 get paid. I have around 8 big blinds and am 2nd biggest stack of the 8 on my table. SB has almost a big blind, BB is all in. Folds to MP who has ~3 BB and raises. I see red 99 and 3-bet. SB pushes his stack in. MP calls.
Flop: Tc 9c x
MP bets, I raise, MP pushes the rest of his stack in, and I call.
SB has KxQx, BB I don't remember, MP has AcQc, I have red 99.
I'm feeling pretty good, until... Jc shows up on the turn.
I who am generally pretty quiet start yelling pair the board, pair the board, and the river gives me a beautiful J. MHIG and I knock out 3.

So it goes to show that in poker even the lame posters find acorns sometimes...
