Playing Live

Called in to a pub near my home with a few friends for a quick pint. There was around 25/30 people playing poker as part of a poker pub league.

I chatted to a few of the guys at the bar, mentioned I played online and they suggested I sit in sometime, join the league.

I was surprised how hesitant I was to do that, I don't really have any confidence to play live with people in front of me. Sure I've thought about going to Vegas on holiday and giving it a whirl in one of the big casino's for a laugh just to say I've done it. But playing with 25 people in a small pub just seemed very very daunting.

They were all sat tightly together around a small card table 8-10 handed, it just didn't appeal. I watched for a while and I was sure I'd was no worse than any of these guys, probabley better than most, but I just couldn't see myself sitting there.
