Nice, good luck!

I've never had the chance to play in a live tournament of any kind ... it's an experience I'd like to experience ... feel that adrenaline ... I've seen many tournaments live on television ... and I can see what exciting that is ...! I hope some day to have that experience ...!

Does prison count? We would have 3 tables of 9 getting it in. Its where i learned the game. Playing for Ramen noodles. Ha

I have never played in one of those, but i dream of doing it

Played last year at the Colossus at the WSOP...the atmosphere was electric. Playing live at your local casino compared to playing at the WSOP is like going to a regular season basketball game compared to the NBA championship.

Yes I played in a wsop event. The days were long and brutal. It was more stressful than fun. Even though I was able to cash I don't think I would do it again.

I've played in 2 WPT $10,000 buy-in events. Both of them I won my way in through satellites. The first one I had pocket aces a half a dozen times on the first level and still got knocked out on day one. My second tournament I lasted 3 days and got knocked out 20 places out of the money. Sooner or later I'm going to hit, I know it.

I'm afraid to play live poker games
they say it's very difficult to win there
professional players can easily identify your hands

Played on the Big50 last year lasted 11 hours needed to last 13 to get some money
I loved it will do it again.

Yes, I try to play in a few WSOP events every year. It is a lot of fun,

I have never played a live tournament it must be fun I think I will play it after corona disappears

No not yet ..at the moment just finding my feet in poker

I played a lot of smaller ones in Paraguay. The biggest live tournament I played 2008 in Barcelona - a 2-day-qualifier for the EPT. Fist two places will get EPT main-event-tickets. I finished at position 8 and made some profit

No never,but i think it is dream of all of us who haven't played.
But still hope is here.

No, I have not been able to play in a large live tournament. I have played in several small ones but still waiting to play in a big one.

I never have, but I might try one in the future.

No, I have not played anyone in a live tournament, but I hope that this will happen in the near future.

I have played in one live tournament, I placed 2nd. Won 3750 dollars. I had a flush when we went all in. He had a set, on the river is where he paired and he took me out with a full house. It was a good night and fun and exciting.

I have played in a few WSOP Circuit events at the stop in Cherokee, which draws among the largest crowds in the country outside of the WSOP. I played in one tourney that had four starting flights and almost 3,000 total runners. I was in the top 20 after Day 1 (I even got written up in the WSOP blog!) and made it to the money on Day 2. Got crippled when my AA lost to QQ when I hit a set and he hit a straight on the river. You can't beat the thrill of playing a large multi-table tournament. A constant murmur, the steady clack of chips riffling and the occasional outburst; heaven!

I have played quite a few MTTs live with hundreds of players entering. but in terms of buyins the highest i have played at is i think worth $1k buyin that i won a seat for in those pokerstars hosted events for apt and appt. most i have played are around $500 and lower only. i mostly play online now in lesser-known sites that have crypto options. i back players btw in micros so if you are interested shoot me a dm.

Not yet...but I might onde day be there for sure

I won a seat in a $1500 buy in wsop event at the rio in 2010. I didn't last very long!

I haven't played any more

The last I have played was in PokerStars Bucharest festival in 2017 where I got the second day. Since then I haven’t played any large tournament. (

I have not. I would like to though. I'd rather be staked than to put up my own money though. I just don't know many people who would stake me though. I will definitely play in one this year if I can.

I won my way into the 2013 WSOP main event at the Rio. The $10,000 buy in one. No I did not cash. I lost a huge part of my stack early with AK, paired my K on the flop, paired my A on the river. No threat from a straight or flush appeared but I got beat by a set of 7s, the only hand I did not consider. My opponent was holding pocket 7s and flopped a set. My brain fart somehow never considered that possibility. I got short stacked and ended up busting out a few hands later with AK that whiffed and got beat by a pair of jacks. The $10,000 win put me in a higher tax bracket and I then had to stick $6,000 into an IRA to lower my taxes....lol.

I haven’t played live in a big tournament yet, but I have a desire for games in a big live tournament. If I have a chance to play, I will pick up some prize pool and take away my professional game.

where i live , poker is ban , so we dont have any tournament here and i havent played any live game i really want to try it someday

I have played in Red Poker open and EPT prague side event.. I did play other live games as well , but nothing big like those wsop or ept main event

Usually, live poker was played, but unfortunately it was not necessary to play big poker

Not yet ! I am just a beginner in poker probably next year i try it

what is the difference ?
are the emotions the same?
the chance is less or not ?

I satellited into the 2006 WSOP Main Event for $2! I played on Day 1A, but didn't make it to Day 2, which was about 3 - 4 days later. I decided to go all-in short-stacked with AK suited after having played for over 12 hours. Ran into QQ. Oh well. It was an amazing experience that I'll probably never get to take part in again.

I have never played in such tournaments. I want to visit Sochi in October this year and try my hand there!

I haven’t played in a live tournament; I always play online or with friends. I would like to play live, but so far there is no opportunity and temporary.

I have never played, but it would be very interesting to feel this atmosphere of a big game.

Unfortunately not but I would like to

In March I had to play a tournament with 550Euro entry, Net Bet Open Craiova but this was canceled at the last moment due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

I have many times, live is where I did most of my games! But now with the lockdown no live games at all!

I have played a few tournaments with 150$ buy-in and pretty happy about result. In 70% i got in cash.

I play the MWPT in Tama Iowa.

i play big turnament only in pokerstars

not yet, at the maximum state tournament

I have never participated in such tournaments, but I really want to try it, I will be very happy if I get this opportunity

Not yet,but in the future it s possible

I have played in some WSOP events. Honestly, for me the experience isn't that much different once you get settled in. My main concern is on staying focused and playing well, but it's such a long grind, that it's a struggle to even do that. Sure, a poker celebrity might be seated across from you, but when you're contesting a pot with them, they're just like any other player.

Not yet... i would love to...

Never ever but still looking forward to.
