Virgin trip
Went to Brantford last night with some friends to try our luck at the poker tables. Been playing home games (mainly NL tourney style) and some online freerolls since Octoberish. I think I can safely say the poker room was not quite as scary as I had envisioned it could be, but at the same time got a good ego check as well... There was a big wait on 2-5 so I sat 5-10 while waiting. Had hoped to play tight before I got a read on the table, but was dealt playable hands early and ended up dumping around $140 of my $400 in the first half hour. Luckily, a 2-5 seat had opened up by this time and I gladly took it. Maybe it was nerves, maybe bad play, but finally I had started to calm down at this point and managed to cut my loss in half over a 3-4 hour period at the 2-5 before cashing out... I couldn't believe the difference in the tables. Is 2-5 always this loose, or is it more so on a Friday (I can remember numerous 7-8 player pots)? I think in hindsight my comfort level was much better on 2-5 and think I'll wait a while before I sit 5-10 again...
