Steemmonsters Experiment: My Very First Tournament

Rarlier today, I joined my very first tournament. Quite exciting, I must admit...

The Tournament

This morning, I noticed @crystalhuman was hosting a 'no legendaries' Novice toutnament. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to join my very first tournament. After all, having no legendaries yet really limits your options.

So I decided to join, even if I did not understand a lot about the prize that would be awarded. Meanwhile, I know SMPT stands for Steemmonsters Poker Tokens, but that is about all I found out so far.

I didn't really care about the prizes, I just wanted to see how well I would be able to do.

After all, my deck is far from complete, and I was eager to test it in a tourney.

My Results

The first found I had to battle against someone who was completely unknown to me. Personally, I always find this more diffucult than battling someone you know.

After losing my first battle against @andruto, I thought it would be over in the first round already. But then a miracle happened, and I won the next two battles.

While waiting for the next round to start, I could see that my next opponent would be either my buddy @wonderwop or @mattclarke. I must admit I kept my fingers crossed that it would be @wonderwop, because @mattclarke is just... @mattclarke. :0)

Keeping those fingers crossed didn't help. I was matched against @mattclarke. Even though I knew I wouldn't stand a chance, I gave everything I had... and even managed to beat him once.

Future Plans

I will definitely join more tournaments in the future. They provide an excellent opportunity to gain experience. And because I'm still missing a lot of important cards, I can definitely use the training :0)

My daily update will have to wait until tomorrow. It's way past midnight, and I really need to get some sleep now. Just wanted to share this exciting news with you before I turned in.

See you soon!
