Swearing off cash games...

Not got much to say, poker has been deliberately put on the back burner while I figured out where I wanted to go. Decided to stick to tournaments only, it feels playing cash is having a detrimental effect to my game-whilst I feel I've improved my aggression in some spots, I've developed a robotic style playing cash. So that's one of my new year resolutions, play tournaments only and improve at them.

As I post, I'm just getting ready for Day 2 of the Leprechaun Open. I'm feeling a bit rusty, this being the only poker I've played (apart from drunken poker with my mates) for a long long time and at times I felt that I failed to recognise particular spots where a steal would have gone through. More live poker is needed to address that. But anyways, I've a moderately healthy stack of 75k, with 50k being the average. You can follow updates on boards, a new thread should be created somewhere here.

Well done on coming 5th! Bet you are glad you lost your race against a decent player who went on to spilt 50-50 HU, than a worse one! You played your hands damn well, so hold your head up. My only criticism is when you lose a pot (esp one you should have won) you go on very noticeable tilt... work on that and you'll be fine!

GG WP!
