I played my first live tournament today, a 40 pla<x>yer field with a buy in of $35, at the 'Drift on Inn' (http://www.driftoninn.com/) in Shoreline, WA, which is about two miles north of the city limits of Seattle.
I was doing well until I picked up pocket aces. UTG I raised 4x, only to have the pla<x>yer on my left re-raise. Though I really didn't want to get all in pre-flop so early in the game, when it folded around back to me I chose to push all in (someone tell me pushing was the right move). Naturally, his pocket queens improved with a queen on the river, and though I had him covered, I was crippled and was soon out. Suckouts happen in real games too! Still, I had more fun than I do playing on-line, so I will certainly be back for more. This is a daily tournament, and I plan to play both days next weekend (not ready to quit my day job yet lol).
Bouncing back and forth between pokerstars and full-tilt. Sick suckouts on both sites. It seems to me that your pocket pairs make sets on the flop a lot more often than the odds would suggest on full-tilt. And on 'stars you see 'broadway' a whole lot. I doubt they are real trends, just the result of playing so many, many hands.

wow, why'd you move in so early? you should have just called, so you could fold if you thought he hit a set.
i'd never move in so early in a tournament like that without knowing the board. |

I personally just fold my AA in that spot because I can never tell if they hit a set or not on the flop
seriously though, conspiracy theories are stupid |
