First time live poker!

What is the sensation, first impression of live poker? Did you play well?

77Assassins · Aug 15, 2017

The 1st time I played poker live at a casino, I was so scared and intimidated I could hardly make a move.

vitalii029 · Aug 15, 2017

I can't say that I'm playing well I have not yet reached such skill in live poker and have never played but it is in my dreams deferred to the fore I am sure the impressions will be positive

The best is when I realized it's still poker, it's still a possibility of making money. So I focused on the betting patterns. Was really fun.

Do not be afraid of live games. At the beginning of the play cards and become a tighter player. And during the game see who's bluffing, who's not and draw conclusions. I find it easier to play live than online. Show that you put on strong hands, and then it's easy to bluff.

I didn't like it, I was so nervous and I lost all my money really easy

The best possible feeling does not even compare to playing online, I remember that I played badly, I was nervous and it was a small tournament, I made mistakes as I commit in the online to play in a hurry rs

I haven't got the nerve up yet, to try a Live game at a casino. Hopefully soon though. I want to try a daily tourney at foxwoods or Mohegan

I don't play live much. when I do it's just a $65 dollar buy-in tournament. It's fun and I know now bad beats or hard beats don't just happen online.

In a casino live poker? First time I went with a friend, sat at separate tables $1/2, I lost my initial $200 buy in. Loved it, came back next night, bought in $200, cashed out $900ish was hooked. Played a bunch last year live, but due to other commitments and finances haven't played live much this year but will get back to it. NL Hold'em live is lot's of fun and definitely the purest form of poker (even with my soft spot for online poker)

My first time at a poker table was at the Conrad in Punta del Este Uruguay, I remember I went and had no idea what I had to do to play, I spent wondering around the casino where the poker room was until I found it, I asked what the wave was like to those in the chip boxes and they told me that there was just one satellite tournament (I did not know this last one) and I registered without hesitation with just 20 $ to have extra chips , When I sat at the table the truth was quite calm, I knew that I was good for this, that same day, my first time at a live table, I took the final table in that tournament but unfortunately I did not get paid, only charged the 4 first and I left sixth

The first time I remember playing live poker was in Biloxi, Mississippi. Playing 2/4 limit long time ago. Very intimidating I had no clue what I was doing both in the card room and in the game. I remember a local berating me for sucking out on him on the river. It actually made me love the game seeing how pissed he was[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23].

Not played have no idea...

I remember it was a $75 knockout tournament with 20 dollar bounties. Early on I got into a hand with some dude playing some silly hand like 69off when I had pocket tens and he hit 2 pair and destroyed my stack. I was sad but kept trying. Definitely didn't make it too far that night but I kept going back. I started playing live because i got lucky on a 10k guaranteed and made $2100 2nd. I thought I may be able to bankroll it into a lot of money but playing live is different and much harder than playing online.

Lorpugo · Aug 16, 2017

i finished 4 in a 20$ buyin tournament, top 3 get paid but it was experience i will never forget. definitely try at least 1 live game....

kidrock1211 · Aug 16, 2017

My first time playing live was in a freeroll, there was about 150 in the game top 10 paid first was like $700 i was so scared and felt i had no chance to get to top 10 that i started putting the beer to me and it was all down hill from there!!

for the most part i strictly play live poker. the games are a lot looser because online players are used to seeing more hands per minute

AKbadboyAK · Aug 18, 2017

I have not played live yet I already played with the home game was very funny fun totally different from the online agent look in the eyes and we see that the player is sometimes bluffing or not very good anyway.

SlavaUa · Aug 18, 2017

I always wanted to play live, but have no ever possibility/

volcov · Aug 18, 2017

It's very cool, but I think I threw it in the very first time.

vladikov · Aug 18, 2017

The feeling is unbelievable. You can watch the players for tics, while in online poker you play only with mysteries who owns.

thaysen13 · Aug 19, 2017

Thanx for the comments!

First time..?excitement and fun playing while learning with friends.

An indescribable feeling I feel very comfortable Adrenaline is incomparable

I played 7 card stud at the Four Queens in Las Vegas in the mid 80s. It was so boring. Played maybe 5 hands in 2 hours. Got frustrated and went in on questionable hands....lost quickly after that.
My first time playing NLHE at a casino, I wanted to limit my bankroll, so I played in a one table tournament ($80 entry) instead of cash. I was sweating bullets because I did not want to go home and tell my son I was the first player out. I played cautiously until two players went out in one hand. I was now 7th out of 7...got pockets 7s, went all in against 2 players. The pair held up, and I went on to win the $400 first prize.....I've won nothing since (10 years ago) in tourneys, but I've had a few cash games wins....not as many as my losses, but I usually only play on vacation, so it's all good.

First time live poker!
