Sioux Falls SD/Poker

I'm in Sioux Falls to play a MSPT poker tournament this weekend across the state line in Larchwood Iowa. I'll play later today and if I do well enough I'll have Saturday off, if I bust out today I'll play again Saturday. Either way hopefully I'm playing on Sunday.
This the first live tournament I've played since Feb 2020. Hoping I'm not too rusty. There are no tournaments in my local region so basically it was here, Florida, or Vegas if I'm going to play. I might play in Tampa FL next month, I'll see. I wanted to be in Fort Lauderdale playing in a WPT Tournament but the buy in is more and the competition stouter, I chose this one instead.

Great, !! Rust will fall off after a few hands, you will be back watching and calculating. ONE tip is all I will give you,,, DON'T go all in with 8-3 offsuit if you are the first to act! 🤣
Good luck and keep us posted.
Good luck!
Have fun and win!
Good luck.
i appreciate the support and well wishes.
Report: Yesterday proved how long I've been away. I'll look for a reset today and hopefully better results.
Any time you enter one of these tournaments the odds of finishing well are a long shot, no matter how well you play. Because there is so much money at the top, if you play well, in the long run there is some serious money to be made. It's a numbers game coupled with skill, the better the skill the better the numbers.
Now, I need to reset and elevate my game back to where I was at this time last year. A year off showed up yesterday. My goal today is to keep my mind focused and let the results land where they may.
Gary's gunshop on 41st street in Sioux Falls is a proper gun shop. Dakota Silencer is in Sioux Falls on south Louise avenue and also has some awesome toys.
Scheels also has a huge gun section but they are mostly a golf and shoe store and I usually avoid them.
hope you win it or at least finish in the top money
so Gary's Gun shop is still there ! WOW !!! bet I haven't been in it for close to 30 years I can remember wishing I could buy a few handguns back in the day but being from out of state , it would have meant finding some way to ship and back then I didn't have a clue how to do that
It did change hands about 10 or 15 years ago when one of the employees bought it. They expanded and have a second Gary's Gun Shop in Winner SD.
I am from Sioux Falls, but am in Florida for the rest of the Month. Steve purchased Gary's gun shop I know him well. Kind of lacking in selection and ammo at the moment but a good place. Good luck on the tournament.
I didn't have time to visit the gun store but I'll keep it in mind when I get back there. Just finished a 870 mile drive after a late morning start. That's a long drive, I've made longer but I started earlier.
No success for me in this tourney. So it goes. I played better Saturday but couldn't navigate the field.
I did get some fried chicken from the Pizza Ranch. It was pretty good.
maybe better next time
