congrats man

 Nice job!

I didn't know there was such a thing as a 100 player tournament on PS.  Then I saw O/8 and it made more sense. :)

Have you tried out any of FTP's super turbo tournaments?  I played in a 1200 or so player game yesterday, busted out in 200-some-th place, and it only took 40 minutes.  Different strategy than the usual slow game, but it's action and great short stack/endgame practice.

I am not a fan of turbos, I have limited hours to play, and I'm a rebuy whore, so that limits my selection considerably.

Yeah, I know where you're coming from there.  My brother got me into the super turbos (he's making a ton of money with them) and we laugh now about how I used to complain so much about turbos.  They're a different game, less strategy and more preflop math action.  But I know where you're coming from, given the choice I'll play a 1r1a or deepstack any time over a turbo.  Standard rebuys tilt me too much, although the juicy prize pools are hard to resist.

Edit: rebuy?

Edit2: nevermind it was.

Congrats Jester.  I'm in the same boat as you (I play mostly 45's on FTP because they'll be done in 2 hours).  Though, over the weekend, I'll play something from time to time.
