Weeeeeeeeeeee. I just outright won the FTP 1000 dollar Monday tournament for a little over 101 thousand dollars. The win comes just 1 night after my victory in last night's Sunday Mulligan. The score is just about double my previous largest career online MTT payout. I am pretty excited. I actually played this tournament as an afterthought. I got a good workout in this afternoon and was just about to come home and start cleaning my apartment. I felt I owed it to myself to try to go deep in another one after yesterday's success. I'm glad I played.

It was a pretty stacked final table, but I was really in the groove. The finish moves me into a multiway tie for 3rd place in Cardplayer's Online Player of the Year Race, lol. I'm very very tempted to drive down to Biloxi tomorrow night and then play WPT Biloxi on Wednesday. If I don't go, then I'll definitely play tomorrow's Super Tuesday on Stars to see if I can rattle off another win :) In the event that I made it to day 2 of the WPT, I'd miss another day of classes. School is my first priority right now, so I'll have to tank on that tomorrow during classes. It's really nice to sort of turn a corner in online MTT. My results weren't nearly where I expected them to be before these two scores. Speaking of classes, my first one starts in 5.5 hours. I better sleep.
