First Live Game Tonight - Any Tips??

[clubsta]

I recommend the introduction of a new rule for all home games - anyone who sucks out on a donk call must drink a large measure of neat vodka. 50-100ml per donk call should do the trick. If they're superdonks they'll be on the floor before the 3rd level

Ahahah! Good rule! The question is, who'd be supplying the vodka? Great way to eventually knock out the donks, though, so the stop getting so lucky.

Well, I live in the Philippines and can buy large bottles of horrible cheap vodka for about a dollar so bringing a bottle of booze to a poker game isn't -EV

Hahaha. I should run over (or fly, rather) to the Philippines, in that case!

Wear a hat/cap and sun glasses you need the intimidation factor also try to have fun, talk to others socialize, live poker is boring so spice it up by drinking a few beers and maybe suggest a 3 beer minimum to start playing that will definately make things interesting.

There is one bad issuse as the game doesn't start till 7PM and me and a few work mates go to Happy Hour & a Half at 5PM:beer: so by 7PM i might be a bit :drunken_s

Really, According to Doyle, and I agree, play or drink, not both. Depending on your size you should be able to metabolize 1 drink an hour, so just be smart.... if u don't want to look like a wus, start with vodka with a twist and switch to soda with a twist.

GL, I had great fun the last time I got to play "live" and did pretty well.

Ha ha, just noticed your name, vodka with a twist... right...

anyway..... take no prisoners and make sure noone cheats, otherwise you will be having people breaking beer bottles in order to use them as knives.

Playing in my first live game tonight about 18 people a few beginers... Any got any tips for a live tourney rather than an online one?
Should i be playing in more hands seeing as there wont be as many hands on each blind level as there is online?

There is one bad issuse as the game doesn't start till 7PM and me and a few work mates go to Happy Hour & a Half at 5PM:beer: so by 7PM i might be a bit :drunken_s

My tip: leave out the happy hour next time and stay sober:deal:

another piece of advice:

do not sing bawidaba loudly when 2 players are in a hand and one is contemplating an all-in call
