Keeping Warm in Winter

Played the Blonde tournament last night, folded really well for about an hour before getting knocked out. That was about it really. I think The Duke nicked some of my chips at one point but he usually does that when we are on the same table.
My poker game seems to have a weird pattern. I am a cash game player right? Right. However I do better in different types of game at different times. If I have a day off work and dedicate it to poker my day goes something like this. Get up, shower etc, have coffee fire up PC and look for a good game. Play for a couple of hours, take a break for lunch, probably watch something on TV play another two hour session, take another break snack etc, play another two hour session. Sometimes the sessions are 90 mins long, thats probably a better length for me actually.
Strangely this does not work for tournaments, if I dedicate a day to playing tournaments I usually do much worse than I would at cash. Fine then I will be a cash player and play cash.
But this trend reverses itself in the evening. If I play tournaments I usually do OK but I seem to struggle a lot more at cash games. Having something to concerntrate on (like a league or something) helps me in this too. I can"t explain why this would happen but looking at my sessions, the trend is certainly there. For now I am going to stick to playing cash on weekends and days I am not working and probably use the evenings for tournaments. This might sound silly but I think it has gotta be worth a go.
Not playing today or tomorrow though.

Liked the post on Leighs blog earlier (the one called A Fish and his Chips) about the "What is Reality" documentary on iPlayer. It"s actually really good and I would recommend watching it.
I always enjoy that sort of thing perhaps I will post my feelings on it one day, then again this was meant to be a blog about poker and I spend to much time talking about other stuff already.
Hmm I wonder if there is a reality where I am good at poker? Nah, it says it in the title really, it has to be a reality, not a fantasy :-)

Still not playing poker at the moment, not really feeling it to be honest and have the event to play next weekend so turning up for that fresh won"t be a bad thing.
I did watch an interesting video from card runners last night though
http://www.cardrunners.com/poker-videos/13-scariest-small-stakes-leaks-of-all-time-przytula/
It"s free and not exactly ground breaking but I think it might be useful for all micro stakes players who need to be reminded of the basics every now and again, will watch it again later and am also doing some work on my 18 man sit n go"s for the Champion of Champions, although I think I have decided just to take my normal game, not the right time for fancy changes. If my A game happens to turn up then I have as much chance as anybody. Unfortunately my main problem with poker is I spend a LOT of time playing my B game and my C game.
Team APAT plans are coming togther next weekend should be good.
