I just thru a superbowl party, had about 35 guys there, 20 of us played a texas hold-em tourney w/ a $400 buy in.. Unbelievable, i played my worst poker that nite and go figure i end up chopin 1st place w/ another bro, we split $6300, wtf... I usually play in aleast 1 tourney a week sometimes 2 and the best ive done is 2nd place... just goes 2 show theres alot of luck involved no matter how good u r.
