Played my first CAPT event yesterday. The 500€ freezout, I had a pretty good time after the table loosened up a bit. There was a lot of random trash talking in the good sense. One time I jammed UTG and had my poker face going when a well dressed Swiss man said with a Swiss-German accent that he saw my ear wiggle, I was unable not to smile at the comment and comply to his fist bump XD.
My table consisted mainly of some wealthy businessmen and retirees. The nationalities ranged from USA over Italy and Switzerland to local. People had character and didn't appear to be degenerate which I think is optimal for live poker.
Nobody really got angry at beats and we we're all just having fun, good sportsmanship.
I think I played pretty well for the most part, spots were pretty standard. I usually had a stack size at which my decisions were pretty straight forward. Busted 50/114 when I jammed AKs utg for 14k at 200/600/1200 and ran into KK, but couldn't suckout.
The structure wasn't all too good sadly. It looked good on paper, but the 30 minute blinds killed it.
Today I'll be playing a satellite to the main event on Saturday, Friday is a 1k freezout. I expect the structure to be poor again today, but to be better on Friday and naturally on Saturday. So far it looks like I won't be playing live cash, because I have an exam coming up next week Tuesday and really need to discipline myself now if I wanna get anything done this semestre.
