So I just got back from my first live event, it was a free roll, with $50 for 1st at a local hotel hosted every Monday/Wednesday at 7:00 pm.

It played just like a turbo, kinda. Everyone started with 4k chips, blinds are 25/50.

There were 65 people in it, with 8 to a table, 9 at one.

So, I start the night out with a bunch of people at my table, who love to limp. They would limp with literally any hand, and just checked/fold if they missed, or raised small if they hit. So naturally I adjusted to play tight here. I checked/folded for about 6-7 hands until I get handed Q10s with blinds at 50/100.

I was in Big Blind, folds down to the button who raises to 400.

SB folds, and I look at Q10 of clubs and re-raise to 1k.

Flop 5h 9d 2d
I raise to 500 he calls

Turn Qh.

I shove and he folds, I take down the pot. for an extra 2k and become chip leader at my table.

I check/fold until blinds reach 200/400

I'm at the button with JJ

everyone folds to me, I reraise to 1200 and BB calls

Flop A Q 3 rainbow board.

I check, he checks

Turn K, I check, he checks

River 3 pairing the board, he shoves his remaining 800 chips, I tank for a little and call, he shows 1010 and I take in another pot.

I'm now looking at like 9-10k in chips, and nothing happens and I am moved tables

Down to ~24 people left, 3 tables.

First hand I'm dealt K4s from BB, and I check and Button calls. SB folds.

Flop Q 8 2. He checks I check
Turn is a 3,I check, he checks
River is a 10, he shoves his remaining 1k in chips in, and I call.
I show K high and mucks.

The rest of the table was like "omg awesome call, etc..."

I'm up to 17k in chips, and make the final table.
I have only 3 reads at the people at the final table.

Button is a limper who will play anything with 2 cards of 8.
SB is a tight donk who is just happy to make the final table
BB is a loose player who is the chip leader and he like to play 107o like AA.

I am the shortstack with 12k and everyone else has ~20-25k in chips

Blinds are 3k/6k so I just want to get it all-in on the BB or before.

I look down at 67o and a player I have no reads on shoves on me with 33. His 3's hold up and i'm gone.

Overall I came 9th out of ~65 people for my first live event. I'm happy about this, and will be looking forward to my 2nd event on wednesday.

I just wanted to post that I didn't look like a complete nit against people who are all above the age of like 30. I played well in my opinion, so its a good day.
