Message: [QUOTE="Ashley Sleeth, post: 6772673, member: 469329"] $85k for 3rd in an ACR $109 mtt I also find it easier to play well online. My best advice is to start with a low stakes event that you feel comfortable playing. If you've already been to that venue, it will help you feel even more comfortable. If you have a chip set at home, you can practice stacking them into different amounts and trying to quickly figure out how much is in each. Most of your brain power on your first try will be about the chips, so the more familiar you get with counting them, the better off you'll be. Overall, there's no quick tip that will help you more than just trying it and gaining experience. The anticipation is usually worse than actually showing up and trying to play live. Good luck! I haven't been to the Commerce in LA in a long time, but I really didn't enjoy it. The rake is high, attitudes are rude and unfriendly and it felt dirty. I wouldn't go back, so I'd say that was the worst in my opinion. I play 25-35 hours a week and study a minimum of 4 hours a week when I'm not travelling. It always depends on how your opponents are playing. If everyone is wild and crazy, you will make more chips by waiting for good hands and getting them to pay you off with worse. If everyone is playing carefully, you'll make more money by aggressively putting on the pressure preflop and postflop. Finding the balance is all about figuring out which opponents are playing which style at your table. Example: If the guy in the big blind has been really tight, you can open wider. If he's been wild, maybe tighten up a bit and be prepared to battle postflop. I had quit a remote job that seemed to be going nowhere. I had enough saved up to not jump into a new job right away. I had been playing poker recreationally for about 5 years at that point (mostly cash games), but decided that I really loved tournaments. I wasn't sure if I could make money just playing tournaments though. I found out the hard way that it takes mostly playing online at high volumes to make money in tournaments. Once you have enough stats on yourself (helps to play online), you can just plug in some numbers to see if you'll be making enough to go full time.

Hope that helps :) so many joyful moments!! I loved going to RunItUp Reno events! We would play mixed games that nobody knew how to play for $125 or something and everyone had a blast. I also had a great time playing the tag team cash game at the Lodge. You have a teammate and share a seat at the table. You can tag your partner onto the table at any time! So much fun. Thanks for reminding me how fun this game can be :) :) :) [/QUOTE]
