At this point, not only is my blog shipwrecked, but my 'poker life' seems to be too. I hop into IRC somewhat regularly but I haven't been around the forums in a long time.

However, I feel the need to update.

After my extremely long hiatus caused by going emo and quitting poker entirely while living on the money that I happened to have saved up... I'm "back."

Okay, so not totally. A while back I took the cash I had left online, which was around $200 iirc, and started trying to rebuild thangs.

I've worked my way back up to a reasonable 3/6 bankroll and I'm presumably on the path toward doing this for a living again. I've only in the past few weeks jumped back to 3/6 and I'm looking at it as sort of 'taking a shot' since the plan is to drop back down if my first run doesn't go so well. It's going well enough but not mindblowing: I'm running at around 1bb/100 for the last 5k.

I'm setting a new lame, extremely reasonable goal now: around 5k hands a week. I've got even more time than usual on my hands since I can't play CoD4 basically at all since the latest PS3 firmware update, and I'm almost 'bandless.' Should be pretty easily achievable.

It feels good to play again, and to have more feedback that keeps leading me to the crazy conclusion that I actually, somehow, am pretty good at this whole poker thing. I'm just hoping that I run sickeningly good for a few months so I can get the hell back out of the parents' house ;p

Welcome back. :)
