Time to make some changes

My sister got married this past weekend, and when I was out of town I played some poker at my Brother's house on my laptop to pass the dead time. Well that probably wasn't the best idea. Because I have learned a very important fact about me and poker, I can't play poker and do anything else if I want to win. I played 5 - 10 Sit and Go's on Party Poker, and I lost about 80 - 90% of them and I put a serious dent in my bankroll, for the first time in 4 months or so I had to re-deposit into my account so I can continue to play at decent sized buy-in tables.

So last night I played a few games when I got back in town, and I came in 3rd 3 times which is ok but not really the type of finishes I am looking for. So I finally decied to use my account on Ultimatebet.com and I deposited some cash in there, I played very low stakes to get used to the interface, and I lost the first 3 tables I played at, but once I got used to it I have placed 2nd at the last 3 tables I played it. I am liking Ultimate Bet so far you don't seem to get as many bad beats as you do on Party Poker. We will see how it goes.

One thing I need to remember is when I play Poker I need to only play poker and nothing else, otherwise I will make a big mistake and probably won't win. I usually pick up on how the other players play, and that enables me to make better plays.
