will txt u both. the reason i dont enjoy playing online is that i find it boring and have the attention span of a goldfish. when im playing live there is a usually a conversation about some general bullcrap and i find it stimulates my brain(if there is no conversation then i usually start one unless someone is in the thinktank then silence is golden) but online it feels like a computer game, i have had gta4 for about a year and only completed 4% of it, point example. i find it hard to describe what it is but i cant concentrate half as much when staring at a computer screen, maybe create a game where i could predict the age of the player or guess which room they are playing on their computer/laptop, that makes sense to me. i play poker subconciously as in i can talk while tanking about a decision unlike most.
btw, i only bluff when its correct to according to sklanksy theory of poker.
norwich poker club do some reasonably deep tourneys for quite good buyins simon, only 5-10 mins from yours surely and the cash game is ssssoooooooo juicy, worth a look. shame i have moved in with the girlfriend (bugger)

What"s the freezeout blind structure at the Magdalen Street den?

Ant, I"ve a few things things to clarify from our previous posts on this subject.
1) Going back to your first post, s**t happens, you"ll just have to get used to it. Content yourself with the knowledge that if that same situation comes up again, you"ll be a winner in the long run.
2) As for my comment about bluffing, it doesn"t really relate to this post, but was intended as a genuine attempt to give a bit of useful advice. Think back to those sparsely populated,but competitive, events at the Grosvenor Yarmouth. I can think of 6 players, including myself, who picked-up on an almighty tell you give off when you"re bluffing. Clearly, I"m not going to give it away on here(I"ll PM if you want), but it was the main reason why I suggested having a rethink of the hands you play.
3) Justifying something by referring to Harrington or Sklansky is asking for trouble. (a) most of your opponents will have read those books as well, so will be able to spot someone playing by those rules (b) If at any point during a hand your process involves "What would Sklansky/Harrington do", that suggests you really don"t know where you stand and you should make a sharp exit.
4) If concentration is a problem, then don"t play at all. Try setting yourself a time limit, say 1 hour, then turn off any distractions and play for no longer than the time you set

hi ant, just posted in another thread you wrote a while back. i wud just add to this that for online play your prolly playing 10x more hands (at least) then you are live, the result of this is that the frequency of suckouts is higher! Which increases tilt factor
How many times do you remember pushing some off a better hand in an online session, hows it feel? inconspicuous is the word in comparison to someone sucking out on u. but the ratios are prolly just the same as live but as you can crack out more hands it happens more
loosing always hurts more then winning, moreso when the frequency of events is increased
