Hi from Saka000
-By this "SERIOUS" i mean that i have been only played live with some group of friends.That were low buy-in tournaments (like 7$ buy-in and last 2 players make a deal ) where i started to play first time ever live,but i had never went to big casino to play REAL tournament.
-So,as you guess,i decided to go at bigger,real tourney at our biggest casino in town.
-J went there,that was couple days ago,and i expected that that will be some freeroll tournament,but it didnt.When i got there i realised that that night will be one big tournament with about 25$ rebuy tourney.And that i thought,why not,i will take a shot :).
-Tourney started with about 50 players (start with 100000 chips and 1000/2000 first blind)Tournay last about 5h and i ended,thanks to PS.com;),1st place taking home about 750$Also i got the nickname as CRUSHER,CLEANER and one mr witch was right of me at final said "This kid is a doctor of this game" .The opponents were bunch of fishes,i know that,but without knowledge of PS.com i am sure i would not make it.
-I can not tell you how much i am thankful to PS.com
-And one more time :),thank you PokerStrategy,and i will informing you guys at this threat for my other successes
The hole that night was just like a dream :DD

Best wishes from Saka000 ;)

And one question for every1.
I was talking with one man at casino after tournament and he told me that casino every time take over 1500$ in rake.I know that also of that 25$ buy-in about 8$ goes to casino.
I just want to know that,is every casino takes such a big rake ?

30% is quite high, but it's not unusual to see like 20% in Vegas....

congrats on the win!

thats kinda rediculus rake and i am not sure how profitable these tournies are in the long run with this kinda rake. Where i live the rake in low buyin tournies is like 15-20% which is also pretty bad.

Actually, if that's the case ($17 + $8) we're talking about 47% rake here. Now that is high. Imagine how much money you would have won if the rake was 25% ($20 + $5), which is still high. It makes a huge difference.

Congratulations! Just be aware that you might out play all the fish again next time and not cash a penny, the variance in tourneys is horrible.

Good going though!
