My big mistake turns into $.... ???

I am very new to poker. Have only been playing for about 7 months.
Anyway, I play on UB and usually play the $1.00 + $0.10 10 man NL SNG.
I have been doing Ok at this meaning that I am about breaking even over
25 of them. I decided that while I was playing a $1.00 6 man SNG I would see if I could get into a 10 man game - I also wanted to see what it was like to play two games at the same time.
So I think I see a $1 game open and do my quick clicking without paying enough attention...
I end up in a $10 + $1 game. OH NO. I am really not ready for this level.
The funny part of this whole story is that I go on to take 1st place and bascially double by very small online bankroll. I should not have won. I did not deserve to win. I got 3 Runner Runner straights when I was all in and one Runner Runner flush when I was all in.
I have never hit runner runner in my life and I get it 4 times in a game I didn't want to be in.
This was the eqivalent of winning the lottery for me. So thought Id post it.

Lady Luck lives on.

See you back at the $1.00 tables !

:confused:

    You should be shot with your own excrement you lucky dog.

    Did you pinch yourself to see if you were dreaming?

    Well, congrats on the win. Best wishes for many more. As long as I'm not in the tourney...
  • I agree. I deserve to be shot.
    However, I have been very unlucky for some time now...I was due for a dose and I sure got it.
    The main thing to note is that I know I should not have won, I know I got lucky, and I will be back on the $1 tables tonight where I belong.
    I should be able to play a good chunk of 2005 at the dollar tables using the money I won last night.
  • I agree. I deserve to be shot.
    Maybe. But do you agree that you deserve to be shot with your own excrement???

    I killed myself laughing at that. Try to figure out the logistics of how such a thing would be done.

    At any rate, congrats on your win. Having a bit of cash to play around with is a good feeling, even if you did come by it more or less by accident.

    I believe freezing it first would help. On a day like today, it wouldn't be that hard. Actually, it would be hard. Oh, never mind.

    Once I had 52o and I accidentally hit the 'raise' button instead of 'fold'. The flop came 522. Beauty! :eek:

    Maybe at least a part of your winnings should be allocated to a prescription for some ADD pills!

    Seriously though, fun story, way to go.
  • You know, I do not have ADD !
    I only made the mistake becuase I was playing at multiple tables - not paying attention.
    However, I now have reason to believe I am getting better at poker since on Boxing Day
    I played in a Freezeout tournament at my local casino (there were 100 players)
    and I came in 5th. My first real life (casino - not homegame) final table.

    Still learning, but its nice to see a win now and again.
  • It does help the confidence for sure. Keep it up, and your bankroll should grow.

    The $1, $5, and $10 tourneys won't really have too big a difference between them in skill level, imho. Higher up though, going from say $10 to $50 or even
    $100 would be affected moreso I think.
