Hi all again..
so as the title suggests i did my first live tournament last night at the local Genting casino and out of a field of 70 i finished 7th in the money.
I even got caught out with Quad kings only an hour in to the tournament which really affected my stack, as i called with 2 pairs.
All in all i am happy with my play when i did shove when i had to i was confident, i did call an all in on the button with 99vsAK luckily my 99's came through just before the bubble i doubled up my short start which i was really needed to do.
1 question though, just before i busted we were 7 handed and had about 5/6 big blinds in middle position and someone raised who was playing a solid game, and i was holding As8s and after thinking about it for a minute i called, was this the correct call? anyway i busted villain was holding A9o and an 8 and 9 both flopped then another 9 on the turn which was a bit sickening because i was confident if i doubled up i would have gone further up in the money.
But anywho for my first live tourney i was surprised i outlasted circuit grinders who some have been playing live for years.
