My first live MTT Casino Tournament

[Reel Deal]

I hate that structure... 15BB to start is a bingo game. They do the same thing at the local card room here. With that structure and the juice they charge, I never go down there anymore.

yea i know but for 45 dollars, the pay out of over 1,500 is outrageous. i know what you mean though, the house has the advantage because they can get so many of those down throughout a day. I fell though that with a good structure i could easily cash in one of those tournaments. Not being that I am this world class player but, just how bad these players really are. Guys you really wanna make some money come down to the house games here of these wealthy cuban politicians...lol

I fell though 16th out of 97 isnt so bad for my first try. another thing i noted i called out of the blinds only 19% percent of time, is that way too tight?

[JDMcNugent7]

did u take notes during it or something? how do u know 19%.

anyway, ur play seemed perfectly fine to me, and its pretty hard to tell if 19% is too tight when we have no idea how much it is u would have had to call. pretty decent finish tho, take the next one down.

yea i did take notes throughout the tournament... i might be missing something, but i really dont understand your question there JD...

It'd be really cool if you tell me that this tournament was at the palm beach kennel club. I used to play there occasionaly.

the AQ hand i reraise all in PF to try and isolate here, try and get it HU against the weak guy, get the limper out of the way. AQ is a much better HU hand. PLus if u lose, it was only 600 to call. not much of a difference. The flop play was fine, you got buggered bad.

16th/97 is nice!

Those blind structures are amazing. Sound like my home game SnGs, 5 -10 people, 5 hand levels, 25-50 start, 2k chips, double each time to a 800/1600max

well like i said by his comment he thought i was trying to bully him i think he would have called regardless with his measely queen high, had i pushed the extra 3,700 all in pre-flop. The reason why he got so many chips is he cracked a player on the table next to us earlier in the day with a K10s vs the other guys KK. But you never know i might have actually final tabled it had I just managed to go in for the extra 3,700.

I just think this was a guy that just got really lucky to even get so far, i guess a tournament with such a fucked up blinds structure benefits this type of player.
