First biggish tournament

[GinaSD]

I registered for my first big(ish) tournament tonight. 27.5 25k guarantee on Stars, and I'm nervous as hell.

Any advice for a forum/internet noob? Anyone see any real sharks in this lineup, and willing to warn a guppie?

I haven't actually played this because of the time, but if it's anything like the 24+2 on tilt I think you'll be fine.

[GinaSD]

lol nevermind. just called an all in w/ jj against ak. (dead money in pot, blah blah, he had position, thought was stealing, cuz had been a total maniac)

flop. kka.

lost half my chipstack. ugh.
not happy.

With 100 BB stacks? Could you post the HH?

[GinaSD]

yeah, let me figure out how to do it.

[GinaSD]

I've never posted one of these and don't know how to do it properly... and exporting from card-runners didn't work, so I've typed this in manually and tried to make this readable.

Here's where I just got hammered. And, yeah [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I suck- but this guy had been going nuts for the first several hands, like he was in a rebuy period. argh.

I guess he hit the full house on the turn. I was so disgusted, I remembered it as on the flop.
