Off to Newcastle!

So this weekend the cash games will be on the back-burner for a while and my real love of the game of poker, tournaments will be at the forefront of my mind in a quest to provide my 1st elusive ranking win.

I don't play live these days as much as i used to, ive probably played 8 ranking events in total and made the cash in 3 and made a final table, so not too bad. It is no secret that i have been playing a hell of a lot differently live than online. Online, i dont mind pushing all in with complete trash pre and post flop if i read my opponent as weak, however live it feels like a long way back from newcastle. This fear/reluctance needs to be conquered now in order for me to have any realistic chances of winning this GUKPT.

My friends from home are up on saturday for a night out so if i bust out on friday i can go clubbin with the lads. Hopefully this should provide a solution to the above psychological problem.

A clam trip to newcastle isnt complete without a touch of social. Im stopping in the Jury's inn with colch-kev for thursday and Friday. There are also a few people ive never met, who will be making an appearance in geordie land, Alex Martin, Rookie itb, and a few peeps fom blonde poker will experience a first meeting with the clamster.

So im travelling up today at around 3:00pm, taking laptop to educate kev a little on music and £1/2 cash lol, will be sinking a few beers tonight while listening to the beats, just gotta avoid the house games in the casino as im on a very tight budget, and hoping that a stars cheque i banked on tuesday will clear by friday.

In this tournament im gonna try play the way i do online and i reckon with the right situations i know i can be a major force, ONE TIME!
