My first Step 5 tourney

[jwvdcw]

I'm a moron, and I never read the updates, so I just found out about the Party Steps today. Needless to say, I was very excited. I'm a regular at the $215 games(name is a605296a), so I thought these would be interesting.

I wasn't sure what to expect...would these be filled with the best players only or would a lot of the lower limit players work their way up to this one?

I sat down to see two players I recognized: Gigabet and one other whom I don't regard as that strong of a player.

At first, the game was very tight. We lasted until lvl 5 before anyone dropped out, however as the blinds raised, naturally, the action increased.

I got lucky and managed to pull a second place, which was nice. However, there was some very bad play, particularly by the guy who won it all. He called all in with 2-2 to beat my KK and called all in with JQ later on to beat a better hand(A-9s I think...not sure)...very iffy moves.

So, overall I'm still not sure how hard these are...can others comment?

I just started one of the 2-table ones so perhaps I'll know more after that one.
