Probs did terrible. I was way too loose as early on and it got me in lots of trouble.

So if you win a freeroll they actually give you a buy in ticket and don't just put the 3 dollars in my account?

I started playing poker about 8 years ago ... We are not a big company going in your favorite bar, dastavali poker set and played Hold'em SitNgo, buy-in the area of $ 3 ... Then I usually lost, but it was not essential, I have fun and experience.

Then he started to play the poker stars ... And almost immediately I liked to play MTT.

My first tournaments on Poker Stars I played in the profits, and it seemed to me that the vast Most of the opponents really do not know how to play ... but in the absence of the practice of live game, my style is that it has lost, and I began to lose bysro.

The conclusion is: a live game in a circle of friends, very good coach!

Harrahs vegas. 14 players, 2 cashed. Finished 8 or 9th. Very nervous and didn't realize the blind structure. Got short-stacked real quick.

My first ever tourney was way back when I started out playing play money chips on pokerstars. There was something like 4000 players and I lasted maybe 30 minutes and was nowhere near the money.
My first online money tourney was the Daily Dollar on Full Tilt with about 7000 players. I remember being being happy when the bubble burst and I made it another 3 levels after that to win $2.40.
My first live tourney was awesome, $60 buy in and I tripled up on the 2nd hand with a flopped straight against 2 pair and a nut flush/gutshot combo draw and bullied my way to 1st. The live tourneys here are really more like sit-and-gos, there was 124 players and they usually have 100 to 170 depending on the time and the day.

Although I had a lot of experience in cash games, including Holld'em, my first foray into the world of tournament poker was a complete disaster. I lasted all of seven minutes. My second attempt was an utter embarrassment. I may have lasted a whole eight minutes in that one. I did redeem myself by beating out over 400 players to win the third No Limit Hold'em poker tournament that I participated in.

I was soon eliminated early in the tournament, at the time I did not have much experience.
