I ended up winning $800 in about 30 minutes, hopping between pits... ...800 May not seem like a lot but for a 5 dollar player it's amazing lol.
Well, it is and it isn't.

When you say $800 for a $5 player, yeah it seems like a nice win. But if you are a $5 player spreading 1-16 (5-80), that would be 10 max bets. That's a good win, but far from "amazing". Maybe you only spread 1-8 ($5-$40). That would be 20 max bets, now THAT is pretty good win for 30 minutes.
But if that is a substantial win for you and it added to your BR, or whatever, congrats John John...good for you.
Back in 2011, I had a pretty substantial win in 30 minutes myself, playing a little higher stakes, green to black. It was actually less than 30 minutes, it was one shoe, although I believe it may have been the second shoe of the session so maybe the entire session was about 30 minutes. That single shoe ended up being roughly one third of my win for the year.

I posted about it on this site, back in the day, in a thread entitled
"the perfect shoe", but now with this sort of re-incarnated site, I wouldn't even know how to find it.
