I did have fun.

It was also my first time playing tournament style, as I've just been playing cash games online.

I was pretty nervous at first, and I did misdeal at one point, but overall I didn't crash and burn.

I didn't win either--but it was certainly fun, and while I tried to apply the concepts I'm learning here, I could definitely see the times I fell off the bandwagon were the times I lost money.
