Kudos for trying Teddy!
Crazy how nervous you get playing higher stakes hey? Really gets your heart pumping, at least it does for me.
Now that you´ve lost your "virginity" , the next one will be different, I promise. It´s the first one that really screws you up. Worried about everything you do or don´t do. Funny really.
So keep that in mind, and better luck with those cards next time, because it doesn´t sound like you got any kind of a break on this one.

Playing with a $109 will always be a difficult task, either you decide to go one or other event. Some, just like you, will be in the same position and, if at first site, the will is to transform a ticket into money, with a second thought one can easily imagine one this $109 ticket winners going all-in with not that good hands just to rob and to get more comfortable at the tourney. On the other side, there will also be very experienced players who don’t give a chance for anyone to rob the easily. Go for the first, you have to tickets, live life in the extreme, then come here telling us about it and the 2nd tourney it will be a lot more easier than this first one, you’ll see.

Posted by teddybears73: i'm on hero poker,i dont know how to exchange,anybody help?
im still on the first page and dont know if someone answered this on page 2.
No hero are sticklers for their tickets. You can'r exchange them or sell them. You can use them for most games that cost the 109$ but not sng's.
I had a large stockpile of 11$ tickets and two 33$ tickets when my bankroll was below 200 and figured i was better served getting money or smaller tickets. They said "if" there are no games i can use them in they will allow it, BUT they also said that shold never be the case.
Hey u made it to the big leagues if only for a small stint. Next time you'll be more ready and have some experience to aid you.
Have you watched a bit of my video from the game? I really should have also directed you to the part of my blog where is mentions the hands i played in the first two hours.
Also by the sounds of it you were card deaded to the max. Which only bodes well for next time u play. Cards can't hid from you all the time.

Better time im sure it will be better than this one. I dont know cardswise if it will be cause from what you said the cards were awful and thats always a factor, but no matter what you will be less stressed than this time, which that will give you a plus you didnt have in the first game. gl on your next ticket and i wish you at least final table
, the next one will be different, I promise.
