£9K GTD win, Thank You!

Hey ho peeps

In a good mood tonight as i have just won £2700 in the £9K GTD playing solid poker and having my hands hold over and over again when put to the test, which is surprising and what you need to happen to win such a sum of money. This helps me out big time as i have a nice safety net to grind the 0.25/0.50p limits without having any stress, then when my br and skill level allows me, i will make the step up and up and up until i am another Tom Dwan killing the high stakes. It can happen and i am going for it as i have no real expenditure as i live with my parents and get no tax on winnings. Don't have to pay rent either beacause its a house rule that while you're a student its hard enough to make ends meet regardless :P doesn't apply to me but i will take it :D

I could display some skillfull hands from tonight, the ones that hold the secret to a good tourney player, but i don't want you knowing that now do i? So i am just gonna give you some generic hand histories from tonight :)

Hewre i milk sumone hardcore.

There you go, happy with how i dealt with adversity and i showed true patience to deal with the hardest adversary, turns out this heads up opponent wasn't the best, which was good for me, but here you can see he could have easily have taken it away from me if i slipped up once or if my luck just wasn't in. Cheers for reading!

Peace.
