Fluffdog87 2 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 My fondest memories are of playing home games with my friends when we were all still fairly new to the game. My favorite tourney memory is my wsop circuit win. Good times Link to post Share on other sites

tbrick412 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Winning my first live tournament ever at the local casino here, it was only like $500 but still felt pretty awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
Ko8e34 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 He has it wrong, but we were messing around playing a mixed game live hu match and the hand happened during LHE i flopped a set, he called with 8T on j53 flop or something on had perfect for a str8 and i ended up winning the match Link to post Share on other sites
Collotto 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 When I won my first live tournament. It was a limit holdem tournament and I won $2100. It was right before I was leaving on a road trip for a week to visit a bunch of friends. It definitely made the trip a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites
Tugglife2 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Probably the home games with friends when I was just starting to learn the game. Link to post Share on other sites
Canary3 1 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Definately home games with friends. We would stay up all night playing poker tournaments, 5 card draw, and blackjack while eating pizza and burgers. Then we would sleep all day and wake up afternoon and go swimming/boating/fishing in the lake. I wish I was still in high school! Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 For serious though.....About 6-9 months into my start in poker....Winning 2 straight satellites to get entry into the WPT Championship....Free trip to Vegas (1st time.), Staying at the Bellagio, Dinner with Daniel and TJ at Michael Mina. Then of course playing the tourney and busting late in Day 1. Pretty good considering I thought I wasn't half bad, but looking back, I didn't know much of anything. Good times.Sat to the right of Oppenheim, and across from Gus and Robert Mizrachi. This must've been 2005 I think.Edit: And FCP Homegames. Link to post Share on other sites

rcgs59 15 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 My first Vegas trip over 20 yrs ago when I played a stud 7 tournament and won $1800,00 and also my 1st bad beat in a home game when I had straight flush and got beat by a bigger straight flush. Link to post Share on other sites
cdipierr 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Two moments, both when I was really new.Bar league game ... last game of the season. To win a chipset, I not only need to win the tournament, but I need like an extra 5 or 10 points. Fortunately, there are bounties on the top 5 players. I bust the guy right over me at the final table, win the tournament and enough points for the chipset. Got me hooked.First time live in a casino ... at Harrah's in NO (pre-Katrina) ... don't really know what the hell I'm doing playing 3/6 limit. Somehow over the course of about 3 hours I'm up like $300-$400. It was a ridiculous run, and to this day I don't know how I did it. Can't remember anything about the hands, etc. But again hooked.I guess one more for good measure ... first time playing at Venetian. I want to play in the WSOP two days later (2006). Tournament is going like 8 hours or something, we're basically on the money bubble. I manage to push 77 into the BB (chip leader's JJ). On the river I need a 5, 7, T or diamond to win. It comes a 5, and I go on to chop 2nd/3rd money later (the same chip leader guy ended up getting 1st money). The WSOP event sort of sucked, but loved that tournament and Venetian is still my favorite room. Link to post Share on other sites

grocery_mony 8 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 In 2005 when I was just about broke after buying my townhouse I had very little wiggle room for luxuries. I had $37 left in my PS acount and played one of the first deepstack tournies on stars for $33 of it. Ended up chopping it for $5500 allowing to waste another 4 years playing this game Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Somehow recovering from 1700 chips back to 15,000 chips in 20 minutes to ensure that I cashed in my first ever WSOP event last week. Link to post Share on other sites

checkymcfold 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 2005.specifically, misclicking HU for the ongame sunday major on the flop and pricing myself in, swearing and calling, and binking a ten with K10 vs A7 on a 7 high flop for what soon turned into 15k and my only major win.oh, and once i made two royal flushes at LHE within 7 hands of each other. but i was pretty hammered at the time so i barely remember it.

Cappy37 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Wow.. Thinking back to how well I actually did in those early bar league tourneys having *never* played any form of poker in my natural life. Man those were good times.Also a special shout out to just about any official FCP challenge... I run like god in all of them. Hell, to this day some people are convinced I'm actually good at poker just based on FCP challenge results. Link to post Share on other sites
