I played a Railbirds 5 card draw freeroll on Poker Stars. I'd never played 5 card draw online before, so there was a big leaning curve. Most winning hands are "two pair."
I didn't totally embarrass myself, finishing 898/1,336.
This afternoon I hit my first No Limit Texas Hold'em Railbirds tournament.
Thiry minutes in I disconnected. When I finally reconnected I had a countdown asking if I should fold/call/raise... with A/A. It turned out well.
1,558 entries. $200 in prize money. Pays to 150-something place I think. Winner gets $43.
48 minutes in I was 1/695 with 19k. Average stack was 3.4k.
1st break I was in 4/550 with 19k, average was 4k, and largest 25k.
2nd break I was 6/171 with 42k, average was 14k, and largest was 72k.
2:42 in I was 2/118 with 63k, average was 20k, and largest was 83k.
3rd break I was 45/61 with 21k, average was 38k, and largest was 122k.
3:31 in I was 11/47 with 63k, average was 49k, and largest was 219k.
Then I disconnected for over 12 minutes with 77.5k (11th place with 31 remaining)
When I got back on I had 44.6k remaining, (17th place with 18 remaining).
4:10 in I was knocked out in 17th place.
Payoff was $.82.
Two more places and I'd have made $1.19.
Of course, the cheapest sit & go on FT is $1 + $.25 (yuck), and the cheapest table games are $.05/$.10 with a minimum $2 buy-in.
