I guess I should finish with what I want to do from now on. Firstly I'm happy playing the Open and TSP a couple of nights a week or so. At the beginning of the year, I was aiming at a win and a couple of final tables, and that's happened already. I really enjoy the Sky live games, but probably haven't got the game for them yet. I'd love to get to Vegas (ironically the twice I've been in "finals" I bombed, only to finish top 4 in the open on the same day) with Sky. Being honest, if I never won another big tournament, I couldn't complain - I'm really not such a great player, but have managed to sneak under the radar a few times. If I had to give 2 pieces of advice for any poker player (like I'm in the position to be offering advice), it'd be... 1. Always play your opponents. Take note of what they do, who the fish are etc. 2. Never play a tournament you can't afford to lose - I've played badly myself in tournaments (the £220 deepie being an obvious example) because I haven't been prepared to commit my chips in case I lose. You can't play poker like that.
