This happened back in the day, it's been like 3-4 years already - a regular Wednesday evening, right before sleep. Had a couple of $ laying in my Stars account and I've seen a hold'em tourney with only 50 players registered. Thought it would be a fast one. Oh boy was I wrong. After the first level of blinds, I found out that it was a Mixed Hold'em event. Had no idea about LHE, never played it before. So I thought, well I'll limit myself as much as possible to NLHE, just playing the obvious premium hands in LHE. Everything went better than expected, I've ran pretty hot, considering I didn't have the slightest cue about poker back in the days (not that I'm any good now, but I was even worse :D), and I ended playing 3,5 hours just to get to the FT. Was superexcited and it's a feeling compared to none other. At least it was for me. I was checking the lobby every 4-5 minutes to not forget about the prizes, haha. It was 40$ first, 27$ second. Even though I didn't manage to ship it, I finished second, which considering how many times I was at risk with 7-10 BB's at times, it was a super result. Also I had a big deficit going into HU play (4-1 dog, I think), and managed to pull back to almost to even. But the German guy won a flip in the end and shipped it all. However, I will remember it for a long time, not only cause it was my first FT, but everyone was chill and willing to chit-chat. All-in-all a super fun night and hey, my best placing in an MTT! Totally worth for feeling like a zombie the next day at the university.
