He was only 18 years old and had always played poker recreationally since he was 13 years old on the Internet. I went to the Conrad casino in Punta del Este in Uruguay, since it was next to a hotel where I was staying with only $ 200. Not only was it the first time I was going to play poker at a real table, but the When I first entered a casino, I had to find out everything (which was more or less formality). That same day there was a free satellite for a tournament of $ 1500 buy-in that gave 2 or 3 hundred, I'm not sure (it was 2 years ago) I signed up and started playing; I came without playing 6 months ago at that time. I became a chip leader, but crossed paths with a pair of aces played passively on a board that I connected very well. It was not really bad, 80 players in the tournament and I finished sixth in the final table, and they only charged 4, I had really played very tight and that led me to change my game for the next day.
Day 2, tournament Buy-in 100 dollars K.O. Reward of $ 40 for elimination, 25 players, I signed up. I started too much playing NIT that I could play hands like 2-4 and then I lost them, leaving half of the initial stack. In that, I received a JJ from heaven to which I send everything and I pay 2 players, FLOP K-10-A and that's when I said: I'm dead but ... no, they went to the river and in the moment of the confrontation, I had the best hand and, from that moment on, my stack did not stop coming up with many KO in front. I arrived at the final table, with 4 players and was the one with the least chips, only charged 3. This was where we decided to agree that the 4th would take the sum of $ 200 leading a bit to the first and second place, they all agreed. I managed to eliminate 1, the big pile was eliminated to another, and finally in the heads-up I was second, so I charged my first fee in a live tournament, in my second time playing. And then there was a day 3 in which I played very badly, and it's not worth talking about that, hehe.
