>>Played another VFW tournament last Sat...same $65 buy in What is VFW tournament? The only tournament I played so far was few months ago in Las Vegas (can't think of casino name, I was all over the place lol - next to GMG, but not Exalibur - the other side, tournament is once per day) it was 65$ buy in, 60 players, 6 tables with 10 players. There was option to buy_in again in first hour. So 35 new players come in that extended hour, totaled 95 players. It was my first tournament ever and my first time playing with someone else than friends. And I played poker at the table less than 25 times in my life so far. So I was newbie with a lack of knowledge. I played one of the first hands and lost almost half of the chips. Anyway, things turned better (once everyone waited on me and I didn't even know lol) I played 4 hours and ended 10th. Blinds were so big at that time, that I was forced to go all in with moderate hand, had better than oponent but he got lucky. If I would win that hand I would be in the money. Payout was for only first 5 players, first got over 2000$, fifth around 500. It was fun and I will play again when I will visit Las Vegas again. Now I'm playing only virtual money online and getting ready to start playing for real money - pennies for start lol Mario Ps, where are you guys playing? Which online poker places you are using? Which tournament's are the best...?
