So Ya Know...

Thought I'd give a wee update on whats being going down. I decided to stop playing online poker like a week ago - despite several strong cashes, I felt it was detrimental to my course and sleeping pattern was terrible. Since my tournaments were very late at night I was going sleep like 8am often sometimes later.


I had been playin a lot of live poker at the local casino too, like 3 times a week sometimes 4 so I decided to cut that down to 2 if I can. I played the sunday and final tabled for the 3rd consecutive time, problem is - 3rd,6th,7th. So thats not great, and the bigger competitions I had been doing were not getting me any final tables. I cashed tonight in the £20 (max 2 rebuys) coming 18th/119 which was okay. I lost a huge pot early on for 35k chips when AQ lsot to QJ on a q X X flop, we got it all in his QJ hit J on turn...damn. My all in blind utg move with 2c4c was beat by the bb's QJ. Eh , I cashed at least.


I bought loads of books for my course on sunday from amazon. I figure I need to actually work now? I got enough money in the bank from poker, bought a new laptop, sent some money to my family, and can play live whenever I want so I should focus more on my degree.


Tommorow's live competition is the one I set aside each week to do. I am putting pressure on myself to final this, cos Aelred (kompis) has been implying of late I can only FT the weaker comps , which isn't that hurtful since I know I am a strong tournament player, but If I think I am one of the best players in the cardroom, my results should show this.


I have been a record in my notepad of my tournaments winnings and losses' on a weekly basis ,and am down the last 3 weeks. So that big win would be nice. Stay tuned to find out about tommorows competition.


Lastly, the good news is I booked a holiday from december 14 for a week in lanzarote so if I do some good work on my course and nail some good live results I will be rewarded with my holiday at the end.
