I played at a casino near me. They had a 50 dollar buy in poker tourny but you start with 1000 chips and then anyone who had played live play could get up to 3000 more chips for 3 hours of play. I didnt know this before I got there so I didnt have 3 hours in and had to play with 1thousand and everyone else had 4thousand. Well I didnt play a hand for about 30 minutes then I got pocket kks blinds were getting up there so i shoved with 3 callers and got up to about 5500 chips in one hand and from there I won the whole thing. I think it was cool because of starting with only 1000 chips.
