Great promo 👏

Finally feeling better from the crash that I had. So let's get an update on here and start some more poker in the new quarter. It's not been a great start to the year in life or in poker!

Thanks both! Yes @GR1ZZL3Rthis isn’t the type of break I had in mind but I’m lucky I don’t have any other types of ‘breaks’ to go with it! Hopefully more luck getting to some sort of live event this year too.

So the intention was to update this a lot sooner and play more games through Feb. Unfortunately I had a car crash and I am just about in a position now where I feel a bit more able to do anything other than think about pain! I was planning to show up in Nottingham and meet some of you at Dusk til Dawn. And I did make it Nottingham. Unfortunately I was confined mainly to the hotel as I just wasn’t up for moving around too much. Hopefully better luck lies ahead both on and off the table.

I managed to complete all the challenges for January which hasn't happened for a while! Full update coming soon.

Bet you thought I'd killed the blog again didn't you? 😉 I'm still here and played a bit of the series but didn't pull up any trees. In fact I'm currently running at a loss for the year but no bother - lots of play left in me. I plan to do some small grinds before end of Jan and hopefully have turned that around.

Good luck to those taking part in the SKS. I'll see you at some tables!

Haha love it! Extra motivation to keep it alive now. So I'm going to be playing later today and getting some SS entries I hope!

Haha is there a badge to go with that? 😁 Thanks for the welcome back. Just some flips for me today but I want to be all over the upcoming SS!

And happy new year to all. I fancy some poker.

Wow so yeah I've been away a long time! I cannot believe I never read this and I am sorry for disappearing for so long. It's these sorts of posts that used to make poker so worthwhile to me. To get feedback, to engage with community and share ideas, to feel good about what you did even though it didn't work out that time. I am very much the person you describe. I rely a lot more on gut and instinct than math's and stats and you are right that this has served me much better live than online. Although I haven't been a losing player online since I started at Unibet my biggest cashes have come live and I'd say my cash per tournament strike rate is above average. Life really has hit me hard. Since this blog started going quieter I have had a baby, bought a house, had 2 promotions at work and moved offices so the last year at least there seems to have been no time to relax. Thank you so much for this post and I'm really glad you enjoyed the blog. I hope you are still around to read the reply.

I had planned to grind yesterday after just dipping in and out of the last few weeks. I made a couple final tables and then over an hour spell really turned my game off and started making bad decisions. I felt after that the right thing to do was quit for the day and come back.

Thank you sir. I'm not down about it I'm confident I'll do well enough over the next 6 months and just keep reading and learning. It was a profitable day yesterday where I tripled my total buyins so hopefully can put a small run together before the inevitable downswing.

Fashionably late as usual but here is my profit update. And yikes! Rusty isn't the word and it's clear I need to do a bit of upskilling after being away for long spells for so long. But meh let's keep going and continue to learn. I know I'll turn it around eventually even through trial and error...... right????
