@Trolls - you know I don't bite, so you're wasting your time, I'd just repeat what I've told most of you before, don't read my blog if you don't want to. =)

Pokers going well at the moment! I'm getting into live play and am really enjoying it. I won a local ten man sng last week, and got to the final 5 of 20 in another local tourney before, someone called my blind steal (I'd been so tight all night... but the guy was determined to defend his blind with anything... will remember that for next time) J9(o) beat my AT(o) ! Shortly after that I busted but it was a really nice atmosphere the guy that went on to win it said I deserved to cash for the way I played which was nice.

I also travelled to East London on friday night and had a good time playing in a 90 man SNG and some cash play.

My poker books arrived and I've been reading a fair bit of Skalansky on Poker, I'm going to read that another couple of times before I move on to the Theory of Poker.

I'm really looking forward to reading the Mathematics of Poker it looks nice and deep and my math has generally been a weakness so I'm going to make sure I assimilate everything in that properly.

The conversational style of Skalansky on Poker was a great way to start the serious study nice and gentle. One big thing that's already changed in my game is I'm not playing as predicatably as I was before. It's already reaping some nice results and playing less robotically also has the nice side effect that I'm finding playing more interesting than before.

I cashed out 1700 fpp's for a 27 tourney ticket and was doing OK, before I got busted. Have decided to focus on live play now and the occasional couple of tournies online. I'm no longer going to be grinding an online bankroll out, not until I have about 2,000 to invest in my bankroll. Until then I'll just continue to play pretty much whatever takes my fancy! I have $50 due from someone in PS I'm going to play some 20 and 50 dOn's with that and see what I can spin it up to.

Thinking of entering a large tourney in Nottingham in a couple of months. This blog will probabally focus more on my live play from now on, as that's where I'll mostly be playing.
