I talked to my son last night, and he convinced me to try one more time, for him, to sat into one of the big FTOPS Events. I wasn't willing to put any money on it, but found a game this morning that only cost 50 FT Points, so I entered, and guess what......I WON ! .....If I can make the top 72 in the next one, I get into the Main Event, which has a winners prize of over $430,000, and a total prize pool of $2,500,000.00....I am hungry for that one !

I already sent my son an Email, and hopefully he will be my good luck charm that gets me into the big show by qualifing in the next game ! I figured all along that I had the skill to win, but was deficent in the kuck department, guess I was wrong, I do have good luck after all, and even more than that, I have a family here at Railbirds that came out to cheer me on to victory.......I thank each and every one of you, I really do appreciate it !
Huey, Louie, and Dewie came thru for me, those three little ducks was all it took to secure my win, and here is a shot of the final hand :
Again, thanks Railbirds for the great persence on the rail, and hope to see you all at the final table of the next one ! ....abarley6, another Railbird was at the final table, and I was thinking we were going to be heads up before it was over, he played a great game, just didn't get the breaks when he needed them !
....play on ....Tc....

WINNERS NEVER QUIT
QUITERS NEVER WIN
Well, someone's having a lucky Friday the 13th.
Don't get discouraged. One win isn't a gaurantee that things have turned around, but its a good start. Poker isn't a game of making the right move at the right time... its a game of making the best move ALL of the time and a little bit of luck.
The more you play the more chances you have to catch that lightning.
and just with a quack quack!! lol knew you could do it, i'll try and be at the next one. your son will be proud. woot woot!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
exactly what i like to hear, someone like winning, lol. woot woot.
Good Luck in the next one!!
abarley6 did play a good game to.
