Do i play £75 F/O on Thursday?? (first live event)

YOUNG_GUN

Ok as im in some good form seriously considering plaiyng my first live event on thursday. I have played 100's home games and a few pub league games and do quite well, but think it would be a good experiance to start playing live and when better to do it when your running & playing good?

Format is 25 minute blinds, 12k starting. Buy in £75(just a standard night out so not that big a deal)

why isn't there a 'go spend the £75 at my local strip club' option to vote for?

'IF' you are well in credit and can afford this, I say go for it! Try and play your natural game and sit tight for the first few levels while you get the feel of the table and the players around you. If you are playing with the NEED to cash, I would advise against it.

I played my 1st big live game @ DTD last year which was a £100 F/O (oh, those happy days when I could afford that) and TBH was slightly nervous. I eventually relaxed and played some of my best poker. Even though I think I finished about 22nd (out of 200+) and out of the cash prizes, I fully enjoyed the day!

The way my on line game is at the moment, I might join you playing live again!! Where you playing?

DOHHHHHHH

You'd be better off staying in and playing the £33 BH, TSP classic, £5.50 deepstack, 9pm £1k gtd and spending the other 15 quid on a beef chow mein, special fried rice, spring rolls and sweet and sour sauce.

Value ftw.

I voted go for it.

Whilst your confidence is up there will be no better time.

Although I prefer Hurst05's option.

Go to Reigate YOUNG GUN, especially if you are going to Luton, cos its same price as Luton's friday night game.
+ it will give you practise before Luton.Reigate's only 45mins from Tun Wells, I used to do the trip regularly.
  Oh! and thanks, I read something you wrote this morning about %'s  and it helped me qualify for a tourny.

YOUNG_GUN

JJ son, get out more

Cheers Tortus, glad to have helped

unfortunately not going to luton, but could do with starting live at some point

im probably about 85% likely to go now, seeing if dad can get of work so he can come rail me

MAXALLY

Just realised it is too far south for me John and is on my pool night so won't be able to come and play/rail/heckle you!

Get some Live action experience in and lets drag JJ out to a casino one week end!....could be fun to get a few of the forum regs out and have a meet up other than the SPT's which are increasingly getting out of the normal ave players grasp on here now! 

YOUNG_GUN

No worries mate i'll keep you updated, well up for that plannage but is JJ allowed out of his house? do we have to make sure on a poker playing day etc

N1CK

if you want live experiance why dont you go to the casino and play 3 £20 freezeouts, they normally get more runners so its better value + you get to go 3 times

IRISHROVER

 but nicks idea above sounds like excellent advice .

waller02

go for it mate, your in great form and if you can afford it then do it, even if you don't cash it will still be a good night out!

DAVEYZZ

yes defo go for it if you have the money....better than playing a £20 fo where the donks dont take it seriously...

where do you live? here oop north £75 quid will last a week of nights out!

And still have your bus fair home ....
