Okay I'm going to break my rule I just setup 
. I don't play mtts... not seriously anyway. It's something I mix in to my regular lineup every so often if I'm feeling lucky (because lets face it, you have to run pretty ****ing good to win a mtt). I normally play $30-$100 hu sngs in my "specialty" because thats really all that runs. 100s run very rarely and 200s/500s go off damn near never. $1700 is a decent score but by no means a huge score. The main reason I considered it a brag is because PS just unlocked my account today (been living in Canada now for 2 weeks... PS being the sticklers they are gave me a real hassle). So first day back, I won almost $400 at my regular games and ^^ donkament. I ended up playing 3 donkaments today... one was uneventful but the other... zomg. I had a good stack... then i lost a big flip... then I lost JJ<QQ vs a medium stack, then i lost TT<JJ to finish me off. I kept playing my regular games and decided to load up one more donkament on the day (this one ldo). I was super short most of the way after the top100 (always in the last 4 or 5 places up until the FT). FT started and I almsot right away moved into 2nd place with 9 left. After that there was no looking back. I did steal quite a bit but I also got a lot of big hands. Because ppl kept shoving into my monsters the blinds kept folding to my min raises when a lot of the time it was w/ hands like Q8os
Edit: The only hand that I was all-in with that was a bad beat... flop was QTx, utg had limped, btn or co limped, i completed in blinds w/ KTs, bb checked. Flop was QTx, one spade. I shoved my short stack in which was just short of a pot bet. UTG called and CO called. I hit backdoor spades. UTG had KQ, CO had QJ. That was the only bad beat I gave when I was all-in. Apart from that, I just won lots of flips and if i did run into a bigger hand than mine it was always against someone with like 2 or 3bb... so obviously never really hurt me that much. I did get beat a couple times w/ hands like AK vs AJ and AJ spiking a jack, but it was always against a super shortie so it never really hurt much. You just gotta know when to fold'em and when to hold'em... One funny hand. Someone raised something stupid like 20bb, that meant someone else was already all-in. I had 77 in one of the blinds I think. The ironic part is this guy had raises from w/e to 777,777. Is that a jinx or what? Anyway this post is becoming way too tl;dr. If people are interested I will email ps for a complete hh and post (obviously in converted form) any hh of interest
Also, ty for anyone saying well done. It sure does feel like a ****ing achievement lol. I've come 8th/9th in a few $8r/$11r when btn shoved with something stupid against my premium hand in the blinds. It feels good to finally ship one of these damn things

I built my roll years ago. I had a few "scores" then which were for $300 and $400 respectively (I got 2nd in two mtts - a $1 freezeout and $2 freezeout mtts). I played a some $1r's today on my first day back after finally being unblocked by PS. I played 3 in total. I shipped one. Compute now? Maybe if you had actually read the thread you would know that I play mtts almost never. My main game is hu sngs and obviously not $1 hu sngs
Congrats. Are these your normal stakes?
Why you so join 2006 play $1r?
Why do you hate HU SNGs so much?
Do you like Celine Dion now?
What about poutine?
Do you think GSP would beat Silva?
Who is the QB of the Toronto Aragonauts?
What is an aragonaut?
Did I spell it right?
Can you respond to all these questions with pictures?
What is the meaning of life?
Why did you ask for a chop?
