just to talk further about what mr b mentioned above
positive thinking has turned my game around for the better after a bad run i did set aside a few days off to hope that varience would dissapear and that all would be great again.
in the end i decided against it and got my head back into a couple of books and got back at the tables with a whole new attitude.
i reread some of the thigs i had highlighted in the mental game of poker book and concentrated on reading about tilt both winners tilt and losers tilt both of which i have sucum to in the past and recently.
winners tilt took hold a couple of months back after taking down one of the main events ... i thought i was untouchable and as a result was bleeding chips all over always thinking that i was ahead and gradually my cashes were getting few and far between.
dont get me wrong i love to rant about bad beats with the best of them but have come to realise that
1) it diminishes my game further and breeds a negative attitude towards the game.
2) no one really cares, yes people will understand and offer you condolances and sympathy but really we are alone at the table and the last thing we need to be doing is battling with ourselves aswell as the other players.
i then started to try and win back the money i had lost, this in turn lead to losers tilt. one of the problems with losers tilt is that you notice the bad beats more and you chuck more money into the pot trying to take the big pots down limiting your chances of hitting that final table. sometimes it paid off big but most of the time i was down and never in with a chance of winning the tourney.
Unfortunately facebook is not for me.
I have many reasons, some are personal and others would take me a long time to explain.
Apart from the personal greif and abuse I have seen given to others who have been members (Friends & Family) Facebook are now licensed to sell your information to Targeted Add Companies, everytime you leave a comment, information from it is sold and used for targeted adds.
Also, I know we can make it a private page for members only, however, here is a TRUE scenario which has happened and you may not have thought of.......................
A Member from a "Private Group" page posted a comment regarding a man who had been killed after getting run down by a train. Another member then "shared" that comment with one of his friends who was not a member of the "Private Group". That member then wrote some vile and disgusting comments (Some of which are too horrid to say) but generally he said, that anyone who got run over by a train deserved it, and nobody really cares etc etc.
The point i'm trying to make is....Even though it may be a private group, if someone in that group then shares comments with their friends then it is out there for everyone to see. I know the above is an extreme example, but there have been many more like it recently, including a famous footballers brother who died.
Facebook has been the creator of many fallouts between family and friends and I can never ever see me being a part of it and I certainly would never forgive myself if I agreed to it and it then caused a rift between members of the team or any of the other teams/members for that matter.
Not sure I want to say anymore than that tbh.
ps. There are alternative forums available.
pps. Its Thursday, so I will be giving Phil Taylor a run for his money Tonight. (No i'm not playing him tonight btw) He will be running and I will be after his money lol

Trevor thankyou for your reply. I've read your post carefully and have decided not to go ahead with it. The decision is not solely because of what you wrote but also based on a past experience that I was failing to take into account. To explain briefly this happened a few months ago and involved a member of TPT who was not on FB. Certain comments were made about a TPT player by someone on FB which I had access to as they were a Facebook friend. They had no right of reply on FB and it got quite nasty. I have no wish to get involved in anything like that again so the Facebook idea is now dropped.
I will explain more Tomorrow as I am at darts this evening.
Good Luck on the tables guys.
Def 2 nights maybe 3. Preferably female and disease free.

i have found that i am certainly playing a little less aggressivly than i would have previously.
im not saying i only play only premium hands infact quite the opposite as the newer super loose players will go hyper aggressive as soon as they have an ace and get really upset when you bust them out with a set of 2s or 3s.im certainly more reserved unless i hit the nuts on the flop in which case ill let them take the lead with the betting.
Twitter is not what I had in mind.
When i'm on Sky Poker, I try to be just an ordinary player the same as everyone else in our team. I do not make a big fuss of my daily life because I try to keep it seperate, however, I am a Director of a very successful manufacturing & distribution business, I develope all of our companies websites, advertising, graphics have complete control over our website optimisation.
I am happy to develop a secure website and pay for the website registration & hosting. Its quite feasable that we could have our own private forum attached to the website too.
As owners of the website we can also become affiliates and display advertising for Sky and/or other poker sites within the websites that eventually would pay for its self.
I have alway's tried to be just one of the team, but beleive me, I am capable and have more qualifications in this field than I would care to let anybody know.
If the team wants it, I will develope it. Should we continue to follow or should we lead?
Also, has no one else ever noticed that the sky poker forum is not a stand alone platform? For those of you that don't know, it is (For the purpose of making it simple) Powered by "Pluck" and intergrated into this website.
Anyway, i'm probably starting to ramble about too much technical stuff, but, if TPT want it, I CAN do it.
TPT has become more than a few lads chattin about poker and trying to improve their game, its also become a place for guys to chat about more general things ie. jason and his health issues and if being able to chat openly about it helps him i'm all for it and anyone else who wants to get stuff off there chest....
