Relax

I have decided to take the night off from playing poker in the hope of going in to tomorrow's tournament a little bit more prepared mentally.

Last night's game really was a great win for me. In fact I would go so far as to say it was the sweetest victory I have had yet as I came back and won when one of my opponents had four times the size of chips that I had.

What made it even better was that it was a qualifier to a Grosvenor festival final to play in a live tournament which has been one of my goals for 2006.

It doesn't matter if I fail to win tomorrow. The fact that I qualified to the final in the first place is enough of a confidence boost to show that it can be done another time if things don't work out for me.

There are still seven months left in the year and there are plenty more Grosvenor events to qualify for.

I still haven't lost yet, anyway!
