    So it got to the point where I was playing too much poker, spending too much time trying to get good at Single table SNG's ( which Im still **** at btw), going through a biiiig losing phase and and on top of that I have my 2nd year economics exams just a few months away. It seemed like a good time to use the self ban function so I could no longer play on Full Tilt and pokerstars until the summer. Naturally, all this effort to suspend my play was futile and within days I had created new accounts on smaller sites such as betfair poker and Victor Chandler to name a few....and why the hell didnt I do this sooner! in the past week Ive had 5 final tables (including a victory) in low limit rebuys over a pretty small volume. Fair enough the fields arent as big as FT and stars tournies, but theres usually 200-400 people in the guarantees. The point is the fields in these small european sites are soooo soft, mainly due to the main function of these sites being online casino and sportsbetting with poker on the side. I love Full Tilt (and sometimes Stars :p), and Im sure Ill be back after my self-ban, but anyone who can should at least give these sites a look. I generally prefer playing compulsive gamblers than top pros for money ( slight lack of morals I know :p)

    Posting on P5s and asking P5s members to join is a good way to keep the site fishy :)
