Is there good live cash games u have tried/play on the uk?

Advantages of being an online pro....as opposed to live only...

Congrats btw...

i've played a few live cash games in uk only 1/2 tho and they're always good.  problem with live cash is it's soooooo boring so I just end up playing very liberally and trying to "own" people which isn't a very smart idea.  So I just steer clear

Get to surf facebook/twitter/forums/msn/skype etc while playing 6 tables instead of 1.  lower expenses

Congrats

When building your roll originally, how long did you spend at lower limits before hitting 2/4,3/6,5/10?  How good was your BRM at the lower limits, did you take many shots playing higher to move up more quickly?

What do you think the biggest leaks are from pro tourney players with relatively little cash game experience in tourneys?  What is the most common leak for cash game regulars playing tourneys?

What advice would you give MTT'ers looking to switch to cash?

I started with a $2k roll at NL50 once I graduated uni.  I felt pretty busto but lots of holidays and spending will do that to you.  Got up to like $4k then played NL100 for a while, don't have my HEM here but going from PTR I played like 50k hands at NL100 on party.  Then Keys/Tommo binked Estonia and I got like $10k from that and had a huge heater in December 09 when I won $30k at online MTTs.  I then played $1/2 for what seems like an eternity, probs in the region of 150k hands and started playing more live donkaments etc.  Had few hiccups, Oz '10 and Vegas '10 were expensive then just as I was moving up to 2/4 (played like 20k hands) and chopped the tilt mill for $155k which I saw like $60k of which was cool.  Then just pretty much grinded 2/4 for a while before deciding I was good enough to play 3/6 and 5/10.  I think 3/6 is significantly tougher than 2/4 though so will probs stick to 2/4-5/10 for a while.  Basically in 2 years i've gone from NL50 to NL1000.

Making really dumb bluffs with poor equity hands e.g. hand from berlin, guy opens UTG flat flat flop JTx, UTG checks, utg+1 bets, utg+2 raises, utg jams, utg+1 folds, utg+2 tank calls with 55.  Was most retarded hand ever.  UTG+2 is a stars pro fwiw and got himself in a bit of a pickle.  They also love to bluff when they are repping nothing just because they think their opponent is weak which is really good against bad players, however as long as most competent players have enough faith in an easy read then they are just burning $.  Cash game players are obv awesome in live tournies, but some of them aren't very good shortstackers and don't understand that most 20bb stacks aren't opening too light so their rejams with K4s are terrible.

Start low, play lots, watch lots of videos
