I knew that it had to be a reputable casino space and no back door, which is played illegally. Of course I wanted to play a tournament with several players and not a cash game with $ 100 there because I can not do much.
I decided to go to the casino in Bad Oynhausen to go, because it had a good reputation and was relatively new. By some poker players from a forum I learned that this casino weekly tournaments and there you could enter even under $ 100. There could be buying with dollars and euros, but I had the money to pay off € and I have had around 90 €. I went there on a Saturday with a friend and we wanted to play a weekly tournament with a buy in of 70 €. The tournament had 40 players and thus the total prize pool was € at 2800. That was an enormous sum, and I have decided to make the money and then zuholen win the tournament. The top six places were paid and the tournament was played in full ring. I was unfortunately not at a table with my friend but we both wanted to do for the first time this live experience. I sat at a table with players of all ages from young to old So.
Initially was recommended by the dealer once again explains the rules of No Limit Hold'em and the blind structure of the tournament. The blinds increase every 15 minutes there was a kind of turbo tournament comparable to a turbo tournament on Full Tilt Poker or Poker Stars. When I play a hand would increase and wanted to know that I could say that with an increase in the sum so that everyone at the table to hear. Thus, players were able to adjust to this and it will be smoother. I also had my first real poker face to the test, because I worked with hands like AA or KK relatively nervous but I could control myself and play very neutral. In the initial phase I had been struggling and had to make some of my chips. But I could before the flop with 8 8 to win the hand an all in against AK. So I had more than the amounts Durchschnitz and I was good about it. My friend who was sitting at another table was unfortunately out early because he has lost with his pair of jacks against a triple aces, because he did not the third ace on the turn did. Then I got from the big blind, 8 9 increased in a color diamonds, and just called a player. The flop came JA, and including 10 and 10 A in diamond. I put half my chip because I had a draw and the flush to the street. However, the player pushed all in and I get called really. The players showed QK offsiut and therefore had the street. I could only win with the flush or with a split pot, but it was very unlikely. The turn was a K (in cross) and finally the River a 2 (cross). Although I had good chances to win, I had unfortunately lost, because I'm probably gone too aggressive at first approached the matter. That was my first live experience in a real live poker tournament, and I could 18 Up space. I had planned to play more live and thoughtful approaching.
