Spungeh - Online to Onlive

Hi,
So I havn't really been around this forum before, but after reading some blogs, and seeing how everyone is I thought it may be a pretty decent place to start a new kind of blog.
Lets have some background..
So I live in Birmingham, moved here 3years~ ago when I came to university here.. Pretty much just played poker and got drunk, and now just basically play poker, as well as some business stuff, but this is about poker
(ask if you want some business talk) I played online 100%, and rarely played some random low BI MTTs at broadway or Gala In Birmingham.. I only played about 10 of them, and I think in total i made about £20 from the whole trip, and MTTs just wasnt my thing. It was always cash, and with being scared of sitting down with £200 on any table, It took me a while to get there with a decent BR..
So I went back online, I grinded upto 1/2 and played some 2/4.. and now Im playing Live 5nights a week, 1/2 and 5/5.. - Although Im fairly new to the live scene, Ive meet a few interesting people, and havn't fully adapted to the LAP games that everyone offers, and with my 33/30 game online, its a huge change
The first time I ever walked into a 1/2 game, I went down -800.. mainly a
vs
Cooler spot, but it never even affected me, why had I taken so long to take the shots at live? I didn't really understand.
I play 95% of my live action at star city, and 99.9% of my action online at Pokerstars, I'm a super BRM nit, and am way overolled for every limit I play for a living, I have 100bi for anything online and 50bi for anything live.. which isnt huge huge, but... when you comfortable beat the games I guess its a little excessive, esp when that 50bi is for the highest games i play.. 5/5 and yet play most my volume on the 1/2 tables, but when your graph looks like this at certain points, you become a BRM nit
Click to see full-size image.
nice be ev line.. but hey.. I do beat these games.. honest
obviously the swings arn't so mad live play, which is why I use 50% of the BRM as I do online.
So Ill start posting some interesting hands, stories that I come across in my little journey, and hopefully get to know allot of the blonde community allot more, and maybe even make more friends/poker buddies in the journey that Im about to embark on..
Catch you sharks later.

I'd like to talk business - what sort of things you involved in? Also how do you split your time between poker/your business interests and how tough do you find that?

Technology mainly, Developer of mobile apps, Make websites, A Marketing company, and also moving into a new business with Agency work, and possible investment opportunities..
I tend to just do business whenever im not playing poker, I tend to split it 50/50.. unless I need to push one or the other, recently its been 80/20 poker/business just because I'm obv not the only one working on these things.. But its 50/50 again now.. I just make the most out of the 24hours a day that Im giving.. and hope to get as much done as possible, with playing live.. I do all the emails, reports etc on my ipad at the poker table.
Business is hard to get started, and the first business was exciting and I didn't find it to stressful, but if you play poker for a living for a while, it comes as second nature not to tilt, and keep emotions out of it. So it comes in very useful in that aspect.
Are you interested in business and/or in one ?

So setting up all my stuff for DTD on fri-sat..
transferred money from moneybookers to my bank account last wednesday and still havn't received this.. have a 5/10 game tomorrow, so im hoping its in by 4pm tomorrow, so that I can still play this..
Will make a detailed post about my DTD trip when I get back on the sunday, and hopefully make it an interesting read.
Until then im reading tommy angelo's old school book on live poker, and finding the read fairly interesting, if anyone knows any more books based around live poker?

not a book but if you can find his online series 'Eightfold path to poker englightenment' much of it deals with live play and is a must watch series imo for any poker player.
ill keep an eye over here, interested in fellow grinders - esp ones at the levels just above me..

online at 25nl at the moment, think im my own worst enemy 95% of the time.
Live I've played up to 2/5, but mainly 1/2 and 1/3 mostly. Been doing well live in the last 12 months, hoping to find my way to playing professionally eventually, but we will see.

ha, yeah. You are always your own worst enemy
Is this at DTD? Ive only recently started playing live a few months ago, so still trying to swap from my aggro 2/4 game to the not so aggro 1/2 games

Other than practical reasons, what makes you want to play online and what makes you want to play live?
Is it partly down to mood, where you've been winning recently, how soft the games are, being sociable?
How easy do you find it to focus on two things at once - I.E. work e-mails and reports, while grinding live? Do you find your quality of work for one or both drops off at all, or are you able to prioritise effectively and make sure you don't miss out on key info?
