That's the last time I comment about any results mid month because for about a week after that I barely won a hand. Variance at work at its best I guess plus I played really badly at times and got a bit complacent. This week has been better mainly because I've played more like the standard required.
As a bit of a change and because I enjoy them, I've been playing a few MTT's this week. Had a few cashes not to any great extent but I think I'll continue for a few more days yet because I'm getting a bit stale with cash at the moment and I've got a few things I want to look at away from the tables.
The area's of my game which I need to work on in my opinion currently are: -
- Overplaying hands where I have 1 pair
- Sort out what I am doing on the Turn/River because the turn is a big leak for me
- Stop calling people down when I am probably beaten and know it
- Unsuited Connector's - do I stop playing them altogether. Since the start of the year this has been a big losing set of hands for me and I'm starting to think there just not worth it - I'm currently putting something together for these involving the Replayer so will have a detailed post shortly
- Hand reading, Table analysis and following the action better. I've never been any good at these and its an area I need to focus on quite drastically if I want to take my game to the next level.
- Playing multi player pots
- 3/4 bet hands
Football
I've mentioned this in the past but I am a massive Leicester City fan. In the late 90's/ early 2000's we spent a few seasons in the Premier League doing ok competing for the most part with the likes of Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal, usually finishing mid table and winning the League Cup twice in 4 years and being runner's up in another year. This success was due mainly to the Manager we had at the time - Martin O'Neill and the way he was able to get a team without the talent of clubs with more resources to play above themselves and build up an incredible team spirit. Since he left to go onto Celtic and now Aston Villa the club has fallen apart. We are now in the 2nd tier of English football and have been fighting relegation from that league for the past few years. We have never played in a league lower than the one we're in at the moment but it was looking bleak at one point nutil recently. Today we have the biggest game we have had in a long time and its a 32,000 total sell out. We play Sheffield Wednesday who are below us in the League. If we win we're safe and can build for next season. If we draw and results go our way we're also safe. If the unthinkable happens and we lose then we are in desperate trouble.
Other Stuff
Fuel prices in the UK and the rest of the World are going crazy at the minute. In the UK, we are paying £1.10 for a litre of unleaded petrol and most of that is in taxes. In addition to that, a major refinerty in Scotland has been shut down due to industrial action reducing the available supply and probably resulting in prices going up even more and this will probably mean in time if things continue that people won't be able to afford to travel anywhere as the Public Transport system in this country is an absolute joke. For instance if I wanted to get a train to work which is about 25 miles away, I have to get 3 trains which are not frequent and I live in a city which is on a mainline to London. With the profits the oil companies are making and the money that the Government are making, from us, then something needs to be done and quickly. In addition food prices are substantially higher than a year ago and people are going to start panic buying for alot of things.
Ok that's it moan over.

good luck on the changes in your poker game. the unsuited connectors post should be interesting.
i see the fuel prices affecting lots of things here as well. and it doesn't look good for the near future either.
Good luckk with the month coming up. They look like some decent things to work at just make sure you dont try to do to much at once or you'll be wasteing your time.
I say you need to get Paul Ince i figure get him before somelike Bolton do, Gary Linekar owns Lestier right? Hes a football man so i guess your in good hands.
Feul prices are the same here Tesco is usually the cheapest i reckon its dirty petrol tho i prefer paying a little extra to someone who runs there own garage, here the prices range from 1.10 to 1.25 changes everyday Americians dont know how lucky they are with it. 1 good thing for you is 1£ is 2$ id be trying to save a bit here and there and pad up the Bankroll before it changes.
Good luck
Cheers Guys.
Willie Paul Ince would be ideal and its who a lot of people want. If as seems likely and we go down we'll probably get Dowie though Milan Mandaric is the owner now. Gary Lineker was involved for a little while when we went into Administration a few years ago. You never know he may get involved at some point especially as he has more time on his hands shortly with BBC losing the Football contract to ITV/Setanta next year.
I'm not planning on changing everything at once. Will be working on a couple of things at a time. Might have to start from scratch stats wise because I have problems with PT at the moment.
Robert, the Unsuited Connectors post will happen sometime next week if I can get PT working and have some stats to use. If not then it will be on hold for a couple of months
