Poker Tournament

[liquorstore]

I see on the Sunshine Fun Times it mentions a Texas Holdem Tournament. Has anyone here played in one? How is it set up?

I have - there were only 5 players though. It's electronic poker. Think online poker like Bovada, Full Tilt etc. I think the buy in was $150.

Thanks At least you don't have to tip the dealer How is the rake?

I played in one of their 150K qualifiers... If I remember correctly, the buy in was $150 and cash prize was $700 with a $500 entry into the 150K Gtd on a future Breeze sailing.

 

If you get KK on the first hand.. FOLD that s&*T pre-flop because the guy next to you will have AA.

Been there Done that Like the old question... If someone goes all-in on the first hand of the WSOP ME and you wake up with AA, do you call?

I don't trust those poker machines.

 

Last time I played a Hold Em Tourney on a Carnival ship it came down to me and one other.

 

I had quad 8's and went all in. He called me with quad 9's.

 

That's it for me.

Sounds about right! lol.. im with you on that. I saw 2 bad beats in about 3 hours of total cash play.

lol.. did I fork out the buy in out of pocket? Am I playing way out of my limit with a 10K buy in? lol.. if so, I fold, face down and tell everyone I had AK. SMH, while I'm ahead, it's truly a crap shoot.

 

I think 98% of the time it's a insta call for me to be honest. I just look at the WSOP main event as being structured where theres a lot of opportunity to PLAY POKER to not risk it all on the first hand where you're clearly ahead pre flop.
