Default Step-brother got $138 for 10FPP tournament.

Last night my step-brother played a 10FPP tournament on PS with 6,300 people. Once he hit the money, he called me and had me pull up the game so I could watch him do it. He was sure he was going to do well. Sure enough, he managed to take the whole thing down... $138 for 10FPP.

It was pretty awesome to see him win like that. It was also the first time I had ever seen the blind levels capped. I mean, I knew there was a cap but didn't really think they got reached all that often.

I have to admit, I have some interest in him doing well since he's got some serious poker-related debt to pay me back.

Lol, tell him to start a bankroll and earn your money back. Or take my challenge and get money for free while playing poker.

But tell him congrats. Real sweet accomplishment. I once cashed in a Daniel Dengreanu freroll. 12k players, finished something like 120th or something.

We've had many talks about bankroll management before... it's just not going to happen. He enjoys playing much higher than he should and doesn't have the free money to keep in reserve.

How much did you get for 120th?

I think I got like $5 or something like that. If you barley got in the money (I think it was like top 500 places or something) you only got $1.

Default Wow pretty sweet

I won a couple 4000+freerolls a couple years ago and thats how I actually started out but lost the earnings so after and eventually had to deposit so I guess I fudged the Chris Ferggy challenge

What did the blinds cap off at anyhow??
