Try changing your timetable, during the day UK time, I find lots of tight players, but after 7ish the games loosen up, £22...not amazing but it covers the internet connection for the month and its much better than -£22.

7 hours playing poker ?? Dou you live on poker profit ?
I'm curious because with my winnings average, If I played 8 hours a day, weekends included, it would make a salary, a small salary. But I can't imagine me playing for so long even for 1 day.
So my "strategy" is to save poker profit and in times to times make some kind of "gadget buy"

Yesterday it wasnt a great poker day for me. In my battle to transform $10 into $50 playing $1 and $2 SnG's and Double ups, yesterday i played for 2 hours and ended up loosing $2. My bankroll was on $18 when i started. I started decreasing with some losses i admit it were my fault, and then, being in "turbo", it was very hard to recover. The second hour run better than the first and, after being loosing about $10, i remembered something i read in a magazine of economics, where some analyst said: "don't go for higher flights to try to recover your losses because you will run a much bigger risk, increasing the possibility of loosing much more". So, instead of start playng $5 SnG, i kept that in mind and the game started running better. I had to interrupt what was being a nice run and, when i saw my bankroll, it was on $16. I lost, but it would be worst if i had passed to $5 SnG and also lost, that would have terminated my bankroll. Perhaps today things will be better. Good tip!

agree that 22 pounds for a session may not be enough for a living for many players considering the downswings and all but still profit is profit hope u hav better luck in rest of the sessions
