Thanks Mirrapro.

Went pretty well for my first serious live tourney. Missed the cash by 8 places but feel like I could hold my own no problem.

I'll be back with a plan to win it next Monday!

200+20 and there was 116. Top 12 paid.

Been kind of a pussy about it before honestly. Thought I didn't really have the skills to compete with serious players but realized the people are not that much different to SBR really. Half the players are so married to what their book learnin' says they should do that they think everyone else should only bet by the book too. Within half an hour some guy announced to the table that I didn't bluff followed by another guy folding a 6k pot to me when I pushed allin for just an extra 2.5k out of his largish stack. After that I bluffed my way to 3x starting stack pretty quickly. A big chunk of people were reckless like SBR too. And there was even a couple of classic 'rigtards'. One guy got seriously angry with the dealer when his flopped nut flush got rivered by a boat. I thought he was joking to start with but he was ranting about the fukin dealers being cheats as he stormed out. LOL

It was more fun than I expected really.
