I’ve been a fool. A crazy, naive, unbelievably handsome, reckless fool. I’ve neglected something I really love and I’ve no idea how it happened. Recently, as part of my build- up to the WSOP, I started playing some live games again, having spent the last year playing from the comfort of my flat. In doing so I’ve rediscovered a lifelong love that should never have gone away, like toasted cheese sandwiches with ketchup.

The problem is, the more online poker you play and the more you multi-table, the slower live poker becomes. After a couple of years of solid online play, live games can feel painfully slow.
