First of all, you're probably better prepared than you think ( I know I was my first live tourney. I ended up 14th in a WPT event). It will take you about 1/2 hour to settle in so try not to do anything crazy until you feel comfortable. Also, be careful trying to bluff, especially early. The blinds are low enough in the beginning for you to just take it easy and play super tight.

Also, I've been told by many women that a lot of the women who play the womens events can be total *****es. Again, this is what I hear so don't go in thinking they'll be friendly. They're there to take your money, remember that.

For $230, I say do it, if the money is a concern PM me.
