Keeping Warm in Winter
AAroddersAA:
Had a great weekend. Went to see the football where Newport County drew 0-0 with Grimsby. Watched the Liverpool game in the bar before the game and the Chelsea game after, very nice and very different to how I remember it. Next time I will be sampling the food before the game though. Went to a birthday party after and had a few pints and some great food there, was a great weekend, hope to do some more like it soon.
Stayed in Newport on Sunday and came back to Swansea this morning, before work. Very much looking forward to DTD now, only two more days in work and 4 more sleeps until I get there on Friday, gonna be another great weekend. A lot of people who I have not seen for ages I am really looking forward to seeing and getting a drink for.

Hello WCOAP 2011, APAT's premier festival begins today at the best card room in Europe Dusk Till Dawn.
Unfortunately I am not going until tomorrow but will be following online. Obviously supporting Wales in the team event and friends in the side event (stud today I think). I am driving up and intending to be there for 2pm tomorrow, quick check in and then over to DTD.
I am only playing cash tomorrow but I doubt that will last long as more people arrive. I am really looking forward to this event, not that concerned about how I do poker wise at the moment although that will probably change when I get to DTD but more expecting a really good weekend with some of the finest people around.
Playing the main event and PLO (not playing 6-max as need to watch the grand prix).
Today I will be washing my car, I don"t normally drive to APAT's but it"s over an hour quicker than getting on the train door to door. I will probably end up stopping at the services for a coffee though.
Also today packing and getting everything that I need before making the trip.
See everybody tomorrow :-)

Had a disappointing WCOAP, played badly in both the main event and in the Omaha. Was good to see people as always but poker did not go very well. Not sure why but these days I just cannot imagine myself sitting a a table playing poker for 10+ hours with only short breaks. It just feels so boring and there always seems to be better things to do especially at APAT events. Not too long ago I used to be able to sit at a table and not play a hand for two hours quite easily, now that is just not going to happen.
Anyway going to give playing online another go instead of playing live for now.
I am off work until a week tomorrow which I am going to spend playing some online poker. Hopefully it will go well. I am currently happy enough with my online game although I make too many bad calls on the turn and river.
Live though, I have not played a tournament where I felt I have played well since APAT Luton last year. I know the mistakes I am making and could write them all down and what I should do in the situations in which I get myself into trouble. I still keep making the mistakes though. It"s therefore a case between now and the end of the year, start playing well (I don"t need to get results just play well to my own satisfaction) or "give up" serious live poker. I would still probably play some APAT events and other local things but would stop pretending that I am taking them in any way seriously give up trying to see where I went wrong and trying to improve it in any formal way.
Will post later online cash results.
