The $700 that I won in a Steps game does not count of course; I first had to win 5 other Steps games to even be allowed to play that game. And all my tournament cashes cost a couple of hours before I was eliminated (or won :-) ).
This makes things like losing with a full house to a flopped straight flush (!) bearable... My bankroll at FTP is now $865, after depositing $50. $65 of this is due to bonuses that I cleared.

Blinds: 50/100
Pre-flop: (150, 7 players) Hero is SB
1 fold, UTG+1 calls 100, 2 folds, BTN calls 100, Hero calls 50 (standard completion as SB after two callers), BB checks
Flop:
(400, 4 players)Hero bets 300 (a good flop for me obviously, but I do need to protect my hand immediately against possible straight and flush draws, so I bet out strongly, 3/4 of the pot), 1 folds, UTG+1 calls 300 (after some thought, or so it seemed. In fact, my opponent was in shock), 1 folds
Turn:
(1000, 2 players)Hero goes all-in 1950 (after a completely harmless card on the turn, I definitely want to win this pot right now. My opponent thought for a long time, or so I thought. I became convinced that he had a diamond, but in fact he was not thinking at all but simply typing in the chatbox...), UTG+1 says "my best flop ever in 3 years", UTG+1 calls 1300 (and then I saw what he actually had)
River:
(4259, 2 players) (so me making a full house is irrelevant here--that does not often happen...)Final Pot: 3600
UTG+1 shows:
Hero shows:
UTG+1 wins 3600 with a straight flush, King high ( won +1900 )
BB lost -100
BTN lost -100
Hero lost -1700 with a full house, Kings full of nines
