I am sorry for you. But it was your first time and next one you will score your goal In Germany you say '' shade '' and in these situations hurts to be bubble man- Did you play in your country or in an austrian casino ?

Although you lost on the bubble, it was for sure a great experience. I have only played cash at casinos and it was more than one year ago, when I had no clue about playing poker (Now I know at leat what UTG means ahahhah). I would like to play a S&G or MTT to have the experience.
How was the tournamnet structure???? I mean incial stack, blinds levels??? What would you say about players' level???

At least you were in for a long time. First time i went, i keep forgetting to call raise and made noob mistakes. I'd put more chips in on the table intending to raise but since i didnt call raise it was treated as a call instead happened many many times because i keep forgetting >_>

And punish the limpers. Online or life, let them pay to play.
no casino.. it was at the local bowling center and the tournament was arranged by www.pokerplayers-nrw.de a local material-prize tournament-presenter
first thing i learned was to calm down with bet or call before the player right of me made his decision... thought he did and called the BB ( was SB) and he instant asked the dealer how many chips i have and put this amount in the middle... he was fair and showed his Pocket Jacks after my fold i think as we play 12min blinds at 2000 starting chips there was a very loose play on the table and my DON-hand-range and play brought my to the bubble
