1st Major Tourney Win!

[jimggoldwing]

I suppose it's been my weekend!

I won my first major tourney ----- the 50,000 'Debt or Credit' tourney.

I gotta tell ya ------- there are some AWESOME players on this site ------ what a final table ------ incredible competition -------

Here's a funny part ------ I have my equipment (modem/router/slingbox) set to re-boot at midnight every night ------- the tourney didn't end until about 11:15pm (EST) -------- I was getting real nervous that I'd lose the connection (whole re-boot process takes an hour).

But anyhow ------ on this site, I was truly believing that the one thing that would NOT come my way was a major tourney medal, much less the GOLD. So, this one felt good ------

Major thumbs up for the OLP66 web site!

And cheers to players like you for being here.Enjoy the Gold,m8.

Well done Jim. You are one of the true Gentlemen of this site really pleased for you !

Why don't you celebrate by investing in some new equipment ? An hour to reboot !!!!

YIKES !!! as Kingcard would say

[magno]

Nice one mate, it's a great buzz to get your first medal, especially when it's gold.

LOL!

The hour is merely because of the technology that is handling the re-boot ------ old fashioned "light timers" that you use to turn lamps on and off when you aren't home ------ everything shuts down at once, but the three devices, which are set to come back on sequentially, the tightest increment is like 15-20 minutes or so ------- but yes, if I were to theoretically invest a portion of my winnings to upgraded technology, then I'd get a digital timer and could complete the process in a matter of 5-8 minutes or so ------

Now........... how to convice 'Lava that he needs to cut me a check for about $11,000,000 USD (I'll leave the extra $200,000 or so on the table for future playing).................................

The check's not the hard part,m8...it's keeping it from bouncing that's the tricky part.

I have to believe, Jimmy, that your time is not too far off ----- you have 7 silvers and 4 bronze ------- well done!

I have a long way to go to catch up to those numbers ------ and of course, KingCard, the tourney champion of champions ------ 11 golds, 12 silvers, and 3 bronze (bummer for him, he finished 4th in the tourney that I won )

I'm a mere student when it comes to the likes of all of you!

thank you mate for your kind words.
