I've always imagined playing at a table of Swedes to nuts, with pretty much every hand getting all in. I'm basing this solely on Viktor Blom of course, plus all the maniac Scandis that appeared on the scene a few years ago before going broke.

I'd guess you have just been unlucky when you've played live before.

I will probably try playing live 1-2 times a month going forward.
Been enjoying your blog. How do you stay focussed for long periods of live play though? I find I get bored and my back starts to hurt, plus it can be frustrating when you go a couple of hours flopping air multi-way.
