You're very welcome. :) I definitely started playing tournaments for the competitive aspect. During my lifetime I've competed on teams in small bore rifle (.22s), and as an individual at sporting clays tournaments. In the winter of 1969 I earned a varsity letter on my school's rifle team, and that was my one excursion into school sports. In early autumn of 2018 I decided that I'd like to do something competitive again.

My work schedule wouldn't allow the two evenings required for the rifles, and pretty soon it was going to be too cold for me to be out shooting clays. :) I'd always wanted to try poker tournaments so on October 8 I got in my car and headed south for Foxwoods and my first tourney which was a bounty one. :) I've had a glorious time meeting a lot of nice people and winning a few here and there. :)

That is pretty much how I learned. Aided by a little bit of reading about bet sizing and the odds of hands I played the game and learned more along the way. :) I tried some free drill site online for awhile but I really didn't like that too much. A big help for me however is something I learned while counting cards at blackjack. I made a set of flash cards to drill myself on whether to bet, fold, call, raise, etc... based upon my position and hand (also the composition of the board). I still have them in my purse and review them periodically.
