Another Norfolk poker player

i was right in my judgement then. tonight was a real blow to my confidence and im doubting my skill(well the little amount i have). i played at the palace(the grosvenor has a session charge but the palace has no session charge whatsoever) and after the first break i was my table chip leader, i played kings so unorthodox that i got paid huge and was feeling in the zone, after the break i didnt really have any great holdings and there was a serial raiser when he was on the button and i was on the big blind, he attacked it 5 times in a row, i had nothing to push with. he managed to whittle my stack down,and when we played a flop together the flop was 9h 7h 6d, he bet and i shoved which was 3x his raise, he eventually called with top pair and i was holding kh 8h for the flush and straight draw and a over card so i felt confident but missed. it really annoyed me that i had to shove when i was behind cos i kept being attacked, i feel that even though i feel confident i still cant win races so on that note im taking a real break from poker so i can regroup the troops so to speak. by the way it has started to snow really heavily in norfolk so there will be trouble in the morning.

i did forget to mention that i was playing a big name in poker, i was opposit daniel negranu, it was not him but he did look a lot like the big star(i did ask him and he didnt even know who daniel is). it was a bit entertaining.
the snow has fallen but its not too bad, its barely an inch thick but it has caused a lot of chaos.

i have been bored this morning, the missus has been called in to her work so i warmed the laptop up and plated on bluesq, a bit of practise for sunday. i admit it was a cash game not a tourney i was playing but poker is poker after all, playing at the 0.02/0.04nlhe table i sat down with $5 and was ready to donk it all, the table was tight so my preflop raises were worhing for a bit until some one smelt a rat and called my bet when i had kd kc, low flop, i bet, he shoves, instacall, ad :3d:, he misses, SHIPMENT, i manage to play really well and float bet my way to $15 and then this hand come up,
everyone folded around to me on the small blind, i have 5s :2c:, i make up, bb checks, flop :2d: 5h 7h, i bet, bb raises, i reraise, bb reraises, im all in(stupid move), call, i showed two pair and the bb had ad ac, turn was a :3h: but the bb was reading barry greensteins book cos a :as: came on the river and i was down to $11. the aces should have won as it was a overwhelming percentage preflop but on the flop i was in the lead by 60% at a guess(if a seven came on the turn it would have made him a bigger two pair).
all in all though i had a lot of fun saying "antthecat" when i won a pot and listening to my music and quoting lines of the lyrics in the chatbox and it was nice to actually win some money online for a change, ill try to keep that up now i know how to do it.

i need your input, im trying to pass time before 7pm so i need help in my decision, the two choices are:
1) play poker online, cash games are geting fruitful online for me at the moment.
2) play a £25 freezeout down the palace casino in yarmouth, ive not had too much in live form but i think it could turn around today.
3) watch films until 7pm, unfortunatley as films bore the hell out of me and do not stimulate the brain cells so not really an option but can be considered due to a bankroll that has also declaring recession.
your opinion will be really appreciated
