A winner is me

I won my first poker tournament today. It was a small charity tournament at work, and only 11 people entered — but hey, I was still tops out of 11 today. I was actually crippled about halfway through and down to a handful of chips; I thought I was going home. But I played aggressively when I needed to and sent enough strange “am I bluffing or do I have it” signals along the way that people didn’t know how to read me. It was a good step forward for my poker confidence.
