I made two stupid mistakes last night in the £500GTD speed.
I finished 11th out fo 105, but believe I could of gone on to win it or at least in top 5.
I am too embarrased to tell you what stupid play I made, but rest assured they were both terrible play be me and If you was on that table you might of noticed one of them.
My only excuse is that it was about 2300hrs or something and I was tired.
Being tired leeds to making mistakes.
This is why I believe Stamina and being able to keep concentration for the duration of the tournament is vital.
Next time I will go and wash my face and try and wake up a bit.
Like the film, 'The Hustler' with Paul Newman. Remember, he goes and wakes himself up by having a cold wash and then goes back to return to playing his pool game and ends up playing a h ell of a lot better.
Stamina is vital in long tournaments, be prepared

Hi Flash,
I see your point, but I will stick to speed play, it suits my game.
I think I just need to make sure that I keep myself awake and alert throughout. I'm not a fan of deep stack, but thanks all the same.
Let me just congratulate you also for doing extremely well in the Sat Open just gone.
I noticed you finished high in the cash, so well done, congrats mate.
Yeh 11th, got short and shoved at the wrong time (although i was still 40/60 just wasn't to be)
I thought i was going to get a similar result in the primo last night!! Was big stacked most of the tourney, then had a run in with the only person who had me outstacked on my table.. A9, vs AJ Blind on Blind with an A on flop... (he didn't re-raise me pre so thought i had him out kicked).
RED BULL
i was drunk by end of it though!
You need to make sure that u make the most of ur breaks during tournies. Stretch the legs, get some juice (or water) and some fruit. Or...........load up a cash table, open some crisps and a can of lager. I should do option 1 but i tend to always choose option 2 lol.
I would imagine that fatigue and lack of concentration result in more errors being made deep in tournaments, so being able to raise your game at that stage would be a useful edge.
