How have you done with drawing winnings?

I just thought it would be fun to see how people are doing with the money they won in the drawings (if you chose money on Poker Stars). I've won the $5 twice. The first time I took a bad beat and my money was gone very quickly. The second time has been a lot different. I've played 4 SNG's and placed first in 3 and did not place in 1. I just flopped top two pair and pushed $10 all in and got beat by bottom set. Then I sat down with my remaining $18 and flopped top pair (Aces, J kicker suited) with a nut flush draw. I bet big, got raised and just smooth called. I hit my flush on the turn, bet big, got raised again so I pushed the remainder of my money in. The other guy had Ace rag and I doubled up. So as it stands now I have $35.90 from my original $5. How is everyone else doing?

well I won 10 5 twice, lost the first 5 quick, then hit some s-n-g-s to got up to bout 25 then donked it off, but you can turn it just as you did just takes some grinding, and bullet dodging.

guess you would be interested in some private games here? maybe?

I would definitely be interested in some private games. For me though, the sooner the better. My wife is about two weeks away from her due date and I'm sure there won't be much time for poker once the baby comes, lol. This is our first one so I'm sure I'll be too busy and freaked out to concentrate on poker :)

ok ND made a post so make sure ya let him know.

Congrats on the little one in advance Arsenal!

Thanks NDN, I can't wait!

I am still awaiting the big payday! LOL

Well the river struck on back to back hands. I flopped top two with KJ. Flop was KJ8. I bet, got raised and decided to push all in since my opponent was very loose. He calls with AA and the 8 pairs on the river so I lose $10 to a higher two pair.

Five minutes later, AA cracked by QQ when we were all in preflop. Down another $10. I'm down to $15 :(

When it starts going that way, that you can not win with virtualy any hand, then it's time to close the site and, eith open another site, or just find something else to do the remainder of the day and come back tomorrow to get it all back and more!
