Caffeine Free


Monday night 10.20pm
About six hours into my new poker life as a STT'er/MTT'er.
Once again I've given up the cash game - it's not particularly going great, and if I enjoyed the cash game, I could probably ride the lows, and come out on top. But I don't really enjoy it - it gives me no buzz at all.
So last week I stuck to a few MTT's - around nine I think, and I made a very small profit.
Today I played my first ten sit and go's. Not particularly successfully - a loss, but not disastrous (3 cashes) - but I didn't run well, and lost many all important flips. I'm having a little coaching from fellow blogger Acornman and if my results are half as good as his I'll be a happy man. It's much appreciated, although I draw the line at Haggis and wearing a skirt in public - but I don't mind a bit of tossing the caber.

I'm on a caffeine free kick right now. A week now without tea or coffee.
i'm normally a very calm person, but I've been a bit antsy recently - and someone suggested I cut out caffeine. And right now I feel great. Whether or not it is/was the caffeine I don't know - but if it's not, the placebo effect is working anyway - so I'm going with it.
A couple of mornings it has been tough, and I've never drunk so much fruit juice ("Blogger turns into an orange shocker - still can't win STT").
I was drinking two or three coffees in the morning, and I would have two or three teas during the day - which is a lot of caffeine.

Next step - cut out alcohol.

And on that ridiculous statement, I'll leave you until my next post...

Good luck with the coaching and STT's cloud. One thing I would advocate.. once you are done with the coaching, ply your trade somewhere other than stars or full tilt. Both are the toughest for SnG's.

Other than that.. VOLUME. will watch with anticipation mate.

Can understand not having a trill of cash games. I'm in the same situation but I decided to continue with for another 50 bucks. When those are gone, I have still 40 left to attack the SNGs @ stars again.

It is thougher than I expected!
