First Live Results

Ouch is all I can say. I wasnt mad with how I played more shocked at how live poker is so much looser. I have read others accounts on live experiences and guess I couldnt gain a full appreciation for how bad players are until I played. Anyways on to the results.

I played in Mountaineers $60 tournament at 715 P.M. 59 people entered and I liked my chances to make the final 7 (ITM). I finished either 15th or 16th couldnt tell you exactly. I really messed up on what turned out to be my last hand. I called an allin when I meant to push. I had AK and checked down to the river on a pretty harmless board so I pushed allin. Dude hit his A5 on the river to knock out myself and the other allin guy.

1/2 was a trip! Very loose table hit a few hands but nothing major. Miracle rivers knocked me down to next to nothing and it was push and pray time. I know I could make money at 1/2 just bought in for 100 then 75. Thats a game in which you need to BI for the max or pretty damn close. I would have liked my chances sitting on 200 in that game.

All together the night cost me 235 plus gas. I liked my play and I plan on going back with the roommates during the school year.
