So I decided today since I have been playing so much poker with play money (currently have 416,000 in play chips) that I might as well play with some real cash and see if I could place after playing like a donk with a bunch of idiots for chips that are almost worthless.

I entered two 9 man $5.50 sit and go's and they went fairly well. On one table I wasn't getting dealt anything and soon was at around $900 and the other I did decent and was up to about $2000. And to not bore you with the details I ended up winning the tournament in which I got short stacked and came in third on the one I had more chips. So I'm up today $20.50 and I have $107 in my Pokerstars account to screw around with. And of course, if you continue reading I'll show a couple hand histories from todays tourneys.

From the tourney I came in third
This guy I guess was trying for just dumb luck.

From the tourney I won (I didn't win my first pot until the 33rd hand)
This guy should have re-raised me more, but for a min-raise I thought I might like to see the turn card. As it turned out, I really liked it.
