Poker Tip
The traditional August vacation period is a very good time to take a break from both work and poker.
I bumped into an old pal recently only to find that having won £1000 at a local tournament he had gone on to lose all his prize money in a “ cash “ game.
Its good to stand back from time to time a reflect on your strategies.
