Hey there poker pro. How's the family?

things are good. Momma's belly is getting rather large. lol Are you up and about yet?

So it's worth it to hop in a $50 buy-in tournament even though I don't have any tournament experience?

Do you have cash game experience? If so then yes it's worth it as long as the structure of the game is fair. That's a big factor in deciding whether a tourney is worth it.

Shes gotta be getting close...

Im walking between 1-2 miles everyday...just trying to build the strength in my legs back up, but I feel better everyday thanks.

I have zero experience playing poker in a casino, but I know how poker works, etc.

That's great news. Keep me posted on the progress.

We still have 2 months. I could have a Breeder's Cup baby. lol You think she'll get pissed if i stop by Indiana Downs on the way to the hospital. lol

Do you have any experience online or in home games?

Honestly, if you don't have a problem with the 50 bucks or the structure of the game then you should play. Experience is the key and you can't get it if you don't play.

Just drop her off at the hospitlal on the way....she'll be fine. Just tell ole' Kev said it was okay:D

With zero experience you have approximately zero chance of winning, so why throw away the $50? Take the $50 and play a low limit game, no more than $3-$6. Or find a tourny with a smaller buy-in so that your $50 gets you multiple tries.

I have played many live tournaments and limit games over the years in Atlantic city, my only advice is real simple stay away from thos 2/4 3/6 games no one ever gets out and the play is very frustrating much better game is 1/5 NL or 2/5 no limit and if you have the bankroll any game higher, if you havent ever played in a tourny the first time is daunted and Dunbar is correct you have 0 chance of winning but you have to start somewhere. And by the way just my 2 cents I dont care how many people are in the game or what the bet is I am not folding A-A ever pre-flop simple as that I am ahead of every player at the table at that point. But like another poster mention now post-flop that is when you have to know when to hold them and know when to fold them and please dont fall for the old check and raise because you are a prime candaite for that trick.
