M A surreal experience, fear, insecurity, but very cool, I felt like a professional.

It was a happy experience, chips in hand, lots of different faces, communication, incomparable to playing on a monitor, I would really like to repeat it again...

I remember my first live game, after I played many, many thousands of hands online. It was almost like playing a new game. I had to get used to the slower pace of hands, figuring out stack sizes and pot sizes (still working on that), and making sure I didn't break any table rules. And I also had a great time!

My first time playing live cash, $1/$2, was a rush. My stack went from $200 down to $70ish, and I had to go all in with spec hand to rebuild. Ended at $195, and when I got up, I saw a $5 bill on the floor, and that’s how I broke even lol. I was glad for that result.

The other fun part was watching the table drama when a lag sat down, started raising almost every hand, and dismantled the table captain’s stack. There were some words flying.

If you feel like a professional, then you probably can actually become one if you work hard enough in this direction :unsure:

Nadrealno iskustvo, strah, nesigurnost, ali jako cool, osjećao sam se kao profesionalac.
1000 chips must be in front of 100 chips so that other players can see them 😁

It's easy to play when no one sees emotions. It is much more difficult not to show emotions live, and it is much more difficult to play. You can see who the real player is.

I was scared to death playing Texas Hold’em for the first time in a casino…it was a 10 player single table tournament and I didn’t want to be the first player knocked out…couldn’t explain that to my 12 year old son
