So i thought i would share one of my poker goals that i set for myself a while back and finally achieved! It was to make FT on the fulltilt Early Double A + B tournaments. Once i achieved that, I even went the extra step and won Early Double B, and was doing so well in Early Double A until i lost this pot vs chip leader fish...

Can't see me ever getting away from it here, esp vs this guy...
Still i won the Double FT bonus, unfortunately missed out on the bigger bonus of winning both A + B. Next time maybe.
