I don't get it either. As an anecdote it was boring and built towards a nonexistant climax.

I Replied to a message about exorbitant opens in FWNL with an example and the player's logic behind it.

If you don't like it, oh well.

After driving to Foxwoods alone (3 hrs) I usually have a beer and play video poker for a few minutes to wind down from the drive. My adrenalin still peaks a bit when I go to the cage to buy chips and then take a seat. On the few times that I was dealt a monster right away, my hands were shaking really badly. After a hand or two though, you should be more relaxed.

You should definately have more than one buy-in in your pocket. That alone should make a big difference in your play. Live 1/2 NL seems to me almost like 10-30 limit.

My first few live sessions were pre-WPT. I don't believe most of the old regulars in my cardroom were even aware of internet poker.

The way they drooled and paid me off because I fumbled with chips and was obviously a live poker n00b was great.
