I started playing Texas Holdem 9 years ago. Only no limit tournaments, I have went Months at a time without playing, then play every week for several Months at a time. My question is, is 46 1st place wins, 30 2nd place wins, and 15 3rd place wins, not counting the times 4 or 5 of us that did a split, considered good playing? Also, I came in 1st place twice in one day, and 2nd place twice the very next day. I just want to know were I stand as a poker player.

Yes if you've played several hundred, maybe not if you've played thousands.
How much money have you won/lost?
Complete the picture.
I would say it looks like you already know the answer...

Without knowing the average field size, the stakes played (i.e. if its for free you still may be weaker than people that play in a casino), or the number of tournaments you've played overall, it's hard to say exactly. The fact you have 3x as many wins as 3rds is a decent sign for a good player. But I also would expect someone with a 1st/2nd/3rd breakdown like that to not even ask this question and just assume he/she was good at poker.
