Message: [QUOTE="woodsy44, post: 2246134, member: 5401"] I just played my first live tourney on Tuesday night. £33 buyin christmas tourney (150 buyins). I wasnt as nervous as i thought i would be. I ended up finishing around 50th place. was a little under the average and needed a double up. Had 79s and the flop was 7-9-K. I was raised and then went all-in. My opponent had Q8 and a flush draw. pretty obvious what happened next. A few things i did notice was although the blinds were rising every 25mins, they seemed to go up really quickly. I also noticed that the quality of hands was a lot lower than i expected. But i suppose compared to getting seeing a hand every 30secs online, you are seeing a hand every 3-5mins due to chip counting, shuffling etc. I actually rebought, but luckily i won at blackjack on the break so i got it for free! An Xmas buffet was put on with a free beer also, so I quite enjoyed the experience overall. [/QUOTE]
