Hi there, here is doom, been a long time
Not much poker for a very long time, my roll invested in my company and vacations and presents for girly and kiddo which was a great. No time to play poker and also kinda bored with the grinding for about $5 an hour.
Anyway had a 75ish left on ladbroke poker, so tried my luck at a euro 20 tourney, no bankrollmanagement but hey just for fun.
Played ok, bit to tight cos doom is kinda rusty for not playing over a year. Anyway, took down 3rd place for euro 338, for sure if i was playing my best like 2 years ago i wud ve shipped it cos players were so bad argh, but for now it was ok, knowing i am kinda rusty it was max i guess.

DOOMDY...... Nice come back! Playing poker is like riding a bike.... Once you have learned how to do it you don't forget, you may be a bit rusty to start but it doesn't take much to get back in the saddle and into the swing of it. Well done!

Gratz for thr nice comeback with a winning over 300€. This give new motivation for a restart and perhaps to try some new poker games. And indeed, poker is a good alternative for the cold days and a good time for a new year challenge.

damn it- when i saw our avatar i remembered how disappointed i was with ajax yesterday, after such a great performance against barcelona, and even a great 1st 15 min or so against milan i was sure they will find the back of the net when playing 11 vs. 10...however was left cold with the performance...

Cashed in 5euro rebuy, 3rd, not a biggy but play a little better now. I see more spots, mostly in scared boards versus opponents, these are nice spots were you can pick up a nice pot with not much risk. Also my ICM play getting better
Anyway not playing much, 3/4 games a day, sometimes even zero. Might be doing a blog if i am goin to play more but not sure if i have the time for this
And what is the best way to win the rusty feeling then win 338e !
special for you.
