First full day at work for over 6 years : )

I just started my training for a new job yesterday. I was super tired when I got to work. The night before I had headed out with a friend to play at Dusk Till Dawn Poker Room at Nottingham. We soon got bored of that and headed to the G Casino Poker Room at Sheffield. I think I managed to get in around 2:45am then played a session online until 3:20am. I ended up going to sleep at 4am and had to get up at 7:30am. It made it a tough first day training with new colleagues, that’s for sure!

Last year I started to play live and have tracked the sessions. So far I have played 70 sessions. I hoped for a bigger win rate but I guess it is hard to do all the things we do online against people who don’t like to fold anything. Took me a few sessions to adapt but I think I have the hang of these live people now.



I played a few online sessions in the last two days. Resulted in me losing £58.25p (£50 for an MTT entry). I prefer to play live than online now. I like online for the ease and comfort factors but what fun is it when everybody plays such a tight game. Basically your all waiting for either a donk to sit at your table or to be on the better side of a cooler. Not too apealing to me.

Happy New Year :)

Last two weeks my heads been emerged within the live games. Few weeks back I played with a bunch of snooker players again. They all came up for some tournament, I don’t recall which as I struggle to follow snooker unless it’s the world championships. Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry, Mark Williams, John Higgins, Ken Doherty and a player who is not that well known. His name was Scott if I remember correctly and he played a very solid game. Definitely the best out of all of them. Sorry Scott, couldn’t remember your second name.

I wish you all an excellent 2012, I trust you have all enjoyed the holiday period.

My New Years Resolutions:
Concentrate on my career,
Continue to eat healthy food & get back into cardio and weights pretty much full time.
