Live tournys

[et1961]

I really enjoy playing on-line, but there is nothing like playing in a live tourney. Being able to observe the faces and body language of your opponents adds a whole new aspect to the game. To get a good read on your opponents is priceless.
Anyone who has never played live I hope you get your chance soon. It is so much fun!!! I have played several times at Showboat in Atlantic City. Has anyone else played there? It is a well run tourney. Hope to see ya there. LOL:cheers:

youre right. theres nothing like playing lives tournaments but you cant be all day at the casino.. so there is the Online Rooms to play from youre comfortable house, you can play naked xD, listening youre favorite music, gettin a smoke, drinking something, being with youre family and a lot of things more.. but, theres nothing like live poker xD.

I have given up online poker as an avenue of income.

The simple reason is this: Most of the players online are serious about it, making plenty of money with all the right tools, seeing thousands of hands a day.

Live, the only tool is a proper bankroll (which I have) and your skills and reads (and quick math, and memory helps, too).

Also, you can sit in a casino for twelve hours and only see a few hundred hands, which makes for overall weaker players. Face it: They've seen far fewer hands than an online player.

Earlier this month I got my live tournament cherry popped in a 642 person tournament with a $200 buy-in. I took down third for almost $10k. So I consider it a satalite into the 2011 wsop ME. However me and live tournaments aren't finished. As soon as I'm done with Iraq I'll be getting right back into it.
