My buddys first online tournament
 

So I introduced my roommate to full tilt poker.. He threw $50 on FTP just to see how the site plays ect. Well in just under an hour he had run his $50 to about $125 at the cash tables while playing in an $8.80 MTT ... he was playing very tight when this hand came along ... Please feel free to rate sickness 1 to 10 haha

$50 deposit = Waste of first deposit bonus.
Not being under my Rakeback Account = Lifelong Waste of Rakeback.

The hand is very standard, but it's cool that you hit a royal flush so quickly on your new account.

As a fairly newish and inexperienced player, this is the best advice anyone can give you.
