start watching it then 10 minutes later - after a full shift at work and really need to go to bed - i"m firing up the laptop and trying to outplay my opponents in phil hellmuth and co stylee

and usually end up losing a bit and spending my free time the next day trying to recoup what i lost  ;D

I work shifts, and i skyplus Poker after dark, particularly when i"m on lates.
So in the day when all are out i can watch them in peace, but normally when i don"t have time to play straight afterwards.

Sorry if this sounds a bit teach your granny and all that. Sometimes we get stuck in a rut / and or tired from work and late poker etc. Then we need the simplest resolutions spelt out. I know i do, when someone suggests something to me, which is followed by a very loud....Doh!

Don"t chase either, cut your losses and try again preferably when your awake. Wow if only i could do that. :-[  Note to self..... Self, take your own advice.

I donked off what was a huge bankroll for me by trying to play like Durrrr after watching this around 4 months ago.

I now watch it to learn but tell myself not to try to imitate him on the 25c/50c tables where my opponents don"t have the skills of Allen Cunningham and David "Viffer" Peat. That"s not to say I think I have the playing skills of Durrrr perfected either though ... obviously  ;D
