I won my first live poker tourny last night!
Woo it was nice.
I know we don't have many BCers and even less lower mainlanders but if any of you have heard of the Athens cultural club.. that's where I played.
Something like 50 players, 5k starting chips.. there were rebuys and one add ons but for me it was a complete free roll.
Only thing though is I did agree to chop the pot 4 way even though I was chip leader it was 2 in the mornign and wasn't going to end any time soon so we all ended up with 115 or so.. but i'm still happy with how I played.
I just wish I had a better memory so I could remember more hands.
I know one I flopped my straight with Ace Jack and didn't get beat by a full house on the River (Like last week)
My favorite hand thought was probably the one at the final table.
Blinds I think are 4k/8k.
I get big slick I raise to 12k out of position.
One guy calls.. everyone else folds.
Flop is Ace, Ace, 9.
I decide to just check.. he goes all in.. I snap call and he's like "ahh fuck" and flips over Jack 10 (my favorite hand) and I knock him out.. then he complains a little bit about me slow rolling him (really? did I eh I dunno maybe a little.)
I typed more then I thought I would.. heh wow.

Like I said I wish I had a better memory..
Thinking about that.. I am pretty sure now I raised to 20k..maybe 24k yes..24k.
Also I can get a little rattled with a big bet and sometimes just check out.. like I think I mentioned my Ace Jack hand.. (well I think I had a couple.. I knocked out quite a few people actually) I raised to 1500 right off the bat (I was in BB).. another guy comes and fires right back with 5200.. after a little while of thinking I eventually call.. he turns over Ace 3(suited though) I was pretty sure he did have the other ace.. or Kings.
Now me I would have a tough time going in so much with such a low kicker.
How big was the prize? Winning hand?
