Without any REAL knowledge ...
... of how to play a poker tournament and with a very limited understanding of the myriad of skills and abilities you need to play just ring games i have entered my first Poker Tournament.
It's a free roll (ie it's free to enter with a small prize at the end) tho so it shouldn't be too bad.
Here's hoping i finish nearer 1 than 1500.

Re: Without any REAL knowledge ...
0Rush0 is my handle
I've managed to make it to the last 750 so "Hello Halfway Mark".
Just lost a shit load when i forgot A-T is a drawing hand and copious amounts should NOT be bet on it.

Re: Without any REAL knowledge ...
****!
My 2 pair (QT) calling his all in on the turn turned to a flush for him on the river.
I finished 570th and got "lol"ed at by the other players.

Re: Without any REAL knowledge ...
It meant that i took a 1-3 bet (approx) and lost.
9 cards, the remaining spades in the deck, would make his hand and the other 37 wouldnt.
ie 75% of the time i would have won that hand i think*.
*feel free to correct me if you know better and think im wrong

Re: Without any REAL knowledge ...
You should have left it just taking your blinds when you left, see if you could get in the top 100 and get the fantastical $2 or whatever.
I signed up for one but couldnt make it, and just folding/checking i finished 412 or similar

Re: Without any REAL knowledge ...
How do tournaments actualy work? When theres a '$10 buy in' does that mean that everyone starts with $10 and you cant bring any more money to the table, or does it just mean that that's the minimum amount you have to sit down with, like in normal games?
Basically if a tournament costs $10 to enter, does that mean that you won't spend more than $10 throughout the whole thing, and neither will anyone else?

Re: Without any REAL knowledge ...
Yes, you buy in $10 and that's it.
You're given 1500 chips (or whatever) and that's it for that particular table. You keep going until everyone else is out from that table.

Re: Without any REAL knowledge ...
It's an elimination process dude.
Some tournaments allow you limited buy ins up to a certain point tho most dont.
The blinds go up as time goes on and people drop out to make people carry on betting.

Re: Without any REAL knowledge ...
OK i entered the 12:00 free roll tournament today and finished 1006th.
I made a silly mistake and got punished so "go figure".
I entered the 14:00 free roll tournament today and finished 18th.
I was 2nd top chip leader for a long time then i went kinda crazy and lost half of my 200k stack 2 hands out of 3 dealt.
I finished 18th tho so HELLO $10.
[/i love poker]
