Big tourney winnings?

My biggest win to date was in B&M and I got £1000 for first place, about $1800. Have yet to have a win online, but have had about 15 2nds. Hopefully I will win an online tourny in the near future.

My (future) brother-in-law just played his first ever live tourney 2 weekends ago at the Eaton's Centre. He just really starting playing poker a few months back. Anyway, buy-in was $15 and there were 40 people in the tournament. I found out about it the night before and was unable to go. The SOB won the tourney and $200. Thing is, if he won it, could have been some easy money for me, but I was glad he had some success. Maybe now I have a companion that wishes to turn pro with me.

Wish I knew about that....
Congrats to your brother!

Yeah, James, something called the Toronto Poker Tour or something. I'll tell you what, I'll try and get the site info and all that off of him and maybe we could hook up or something and go school these people. Apparently they have a leaderboard for points and the most points wins entry to the 2005 WSOP. I'll try and find out this weekend and post the info here and at ITS.

Note: I'm not actually engaged, but it is as sure as Sean Vernon winning a tourney.

That would be cool.
Then we can blow all our winnings on cheap beer and Golden Tee.

[GeoffM]

LMAO.

The tables sure can't be too strong, because if I know how he plays, he will play any pair and weak aces.
