Played in my first ever live tourney tonight. Against 45 people at my uni poker society. Never played with more than 5 other people before.
I won!!!!!
It was a £10 freezeout. Lasted nearly 6 hours. Was all in a couple of times on the final table but never had to showdown, everyone folded and I stole quite a lot of money with check re-raise bluffs when I knew the player was limping to try to see a flop.
I put out the guy in third with A4 v A5 when the 4 hit in the river, but I was a huge stack compared to his anyway. At 14 people I was short stacked and went all in preflop with A5 suited, got called with AK, hit my diamond flush, that was the only time my whole stack was at risk.
1st prize: £170
Definitely going back to that society
