My First First

I won the Full Tilt $1k Monday tournament for $98,750. This was the first time I have ever won a tournament of more than twenty players. My play was good and my luck was better. I feel great. Read my last blog, it's better.

Thomas,

Excellent job and well deserved. I was railing when you hit that 6 on the turn to beat JJ. I knew you would capitalize on that. Very exciting to watch and Im really happy for you.

I'm going to add to the list of short understated compliments for what has got to be an awesome feeling, 98 grand aside. Son of a bitch.

Hey Tom, congrats on the win. I felt silly for not introducing myself after so I'm glad you tracked me down. It's not often I play against someone I don't recognize that I actually think is really good (or someone I do know for that matter), so take that as a real compliment. The 2nd time I 4-bet I had AK, just bad timing for you as I wouldn't have played back light most likely. The 66 hand was probably a mistake, I thought that guy must be crazy or something but I guess he was just picking up hands, though he was very aggressive. I'd call in position there like 95% of the time, oh well. Anwyays was good playing with you, good luck keeping up this little rush you seem to be on to start the year.
