I knew that it had to be a reputable casino, and no back door area, where illegal is played. Of course I wanted to play a tournament with several players and not a cash game with $ 100 there because I can not do much.
I decided to go to the casino in Bad Oynhausen to go, because it had a good reputation and was relatively new. Some poker players from a forum I found out that this casino weekly tournaments and then you could enter even under $ 100. There could be buying with dollars and euros, but I had the money I pay in Euros can be and I had around 90 €. I went there on a Saturday with a friend and we wanted to play a weekly tournament with a buy in of 70 €. The tournament had 40 players and thus the total prize pool was € at 2800. That was an enormous sum, and I have decided to make the money and then zuholen win the tournament. The top 6 places were paid and the tournament was played in full-ring. I was unfortunately not with my friend at a table but we both wanted to do for the first time this live experience. I sat at a table with players of all ages from young to old So.
Initially us from dealer again explains the rules of No Limit Hold'em and the blind structure of the tournament. The blinds increase every 15 minutes there was a kind of turbo tournament comparable to a turbo tournament on Full Tilt Poker or PokerStars. When I play a hand would increase and wanted to know that I could say that with an increase in the sum so that everyone at the table to hear. Thus, players were able to adjust to this and it runs smoothly. I also had my first real poker face to the test, because I worked with hands like AA or KK fairly nervous but I could control myself and play very neutral. In the early stages I had taken so long and had to make some of my chips. However, I could pre-flop with 8 8 win on the hand an all in against AK. So I had more than the amounts Durchschnitz and I was good about it. My friend who was sitting at another table was unfortunately out early because he has lost his pair of jacks against three of a kind aces because he did not the third ace on the turn did. Then I made the big blind, 8 9 increased in a color diamonds, and called only one player. The flop was 10 YES and 10 of them and A of diamonds. I put half of my chips, I had a draw and flush with the road. However, the player pushed all in and I get called actually. The players showed QK offsiut and therefore had the street. I could only win with the flush or with a split pot, but it was very unlikely. The turn was a K (cross) and finally the River a 2 (cross). Although I had good chances to win, I had unfortunately lost, because I'm probably gone too aggressive at first approached the matter. That was my first live experience in a real live poker tournament and I was 18 Up space. I had planned to play more live and thoughtful to approach.
