Double Up Deluxe

Just took 6 hours 7 minutes to win the mansion $100k (494 entrants) for $24,000, or £12,138. That almost exactly doubles my yearly earnings to date. Im so knackered it aint set in yet. Got very very lucky in some spots and definitely wasnt playing my A game at times but as we all know poker is a lot of luck in the short term anyway. Cant be bothered with key hands etc as far too many but i will mention a couple of stacks i had which i was very fortunate to recover from :)

39 players left im 39th/39 with only 3k and in the bb for 2400 !!!
12 players left im 12th/12 with only 30k utg push with a 24k bb approaching !!!

Obviously i hadnt blinded down to the above, they were shortly or immediately after losing big pots.

Anyway after all the rants on here about no luck at the business end of mtts lately i can put that to rest as i know i got whats been a while coming and will savour the moment.

CASHHHHHHHHHHH :))


Late night update:

Its now 8 hrs since the win and after a snooze for a couple of hrs it started to set in just how big a win this was. 10% added to total profits from poker, 2nd biggest poker win. The funny bit is i cant even have a drink to celebrate cos of the painkillers im on. That can wait although ive already started worrying about complacency, laziness and lack of motivation to play for the rest of April. Keep telling myself focus on getting money for that house asap, not what you have already taken this month. Anyway ive obviously taken the rest of the day off and will see what i feel like tommorrow with regards to playing. Sunday i have 1 or 2 ok games lined up so will definitely be back in the game then if not before :)

Thx. Linked up will read when get a chance. Only too happy to link up to blogs regularly updated. Far too many blogs seem to have just stopped lately. Guess people got bored or dont like blogging the rough times, i suspect a combination of the 2.
