Benn playin online (FTP) for about a month now and I have won a couple $5 & $10 S&G's but tonight I entered a cheap $5 MTT with 255 people and placed 4th for $125 win.
Took about 3 hours so the hourly rate was fair but the experience in going through that many was great because it did not feel like a crap shoot. People were actually playing like it meant something. At one point in the 5th level when the blinds were 50/100 I was beat on the river with a 3 outer and was down to 800 chips with average stack at about 4,000. Battled back from that with very patient play which was a good lesson for me. Had a chance at the end to take the chip lead before going out when my AQ lost to K10 on the river.
Good experience and let me see where alot of my game was lacking and where I could make improvements (for online play).
For now trying to build the online bankroll up to enter some bigger S&G's.[/img]
