going to play in my first live poker tournament at delaware park on saturday and just wanted to know what to expect??thanks..

you can expect to FEEL THE PRESSURE OF THE BLINDS and experience IDIOTIC RETARDEDNESS.

Go have fun and expect it to be a great learning experience. You play any home games or online poker?

Live tournaments outside of major casinos suck majorly... my first one came when I was 15 years old.... by the time I was down to the final 3 (I took 3rd for $558... not bad for someone my age and not bad for 20 bucks...) the blinds represented about a third of the chips in play... expect to go allin almost every hand you play after the first level or two...

thanks guys..i play on ftp. and normally i play in HU sng and multi table sng normally around the 5 +.50 range...this tournament has it that you start with 10k chips and blinds start at 25/50 and go up every 20 min...i just want it to be a learning experience..im still learning the game and have been told to read this book and read that book so i kind of been just learning as i go...any advice on where to go to step up my name to the next level..

finished 21 out of 119..not to bad...got bluffed on one hand and then after that i was just drawing dead...had about 13k left and shoved with aq suited and got beat by 36 suited..typical..great experience though and i learned alot.
