GL... I remember my first. I was shaking like a leaf..

Just sit back for the first hour and don't play any hands unless they're huge like KK or AA, take this time to watch everyone else and see how they play.

Don't bet out of turn, don't fold out of turn. Don't tell people what you had if there are still people in the pot.

Tell the dealer what you are doing before you do it. Whether it is Calling, Folding or god forbid, Raising. State "I raise" then tell him the amount. Life will be easier for you if you do that!

To be honest, you should have played like a $10 before a $60 as your fist but good luck anyway.

well ladies and gents i took home 697$

it got down to 5 people and we were all good everyone of them was shocked that it was my 1st live table. they said you know what we all have between 30-45k chips lets just chop it now, and we did.. congrats to all the winners...

=)

break down, 60$ buy in, i rebuy once for 25$ at break i spend 50$ for 4000 more chips

grand total of 135$ left with 697$ = winner

Did you get the thrill of playing? How did it compare to the PC? Did you join in the "banter"?

I love RL tourneys so much more!
