Rags To Riches

I'm back baby!!!!!

It's been over a month since I've played poker online or live. I'd talked about it in a previous blog but I just sort of lost the urge. I had been on a losing streak again and toying with the idea of taking a break when it just sort of happened.

I ended up withdrawing my BR from online and using it for non-poker related things which was really great!

Then, about 2weeks ago I started to get the urge again but unfortunately I wasn't in a position to make a deposit. So, I decided that I'd play some free rolls on www.eurolinx.com and see what I could do. I actually ended up playing ANYTHING BUT NLHE. It was great! I was playing again and enjoying the games. I had little to no experience in the games I was playing so it was good that I was playing in FreeRolls.

I made it pretty deep in a few but never ended up cashing. Then, last week, the weekly www.jackseven.ca free roll was being held at www.eurolinx.com (a very gracious host!!!). I told the boys and gals that I wouldn't' be playing and Shawn (kidkob) from J7 staked me fully understanding that I had no money online to re-pay him and that I live in Toronto NOT Ottawa and it would be very hard for me to get him the money back (thanks Shawn... You're the man cool guy!!!)

So, with Shawn behind me I decided that I'd simply have to win to repay him. And win is exactly what I did!!!

I don't have the HH's with me but I felt really good about my play. There was one hand when we were very close to the money bubble where I laid down 22 preflop to an allin that I think I maybe should have played but other then that I was happy with how things went. I played a patient game and was lucky enough to hit a nice heater just at the right time.

So, with that my online bankroll is now back and I'll be playing solely on www.eurolinx.com. Because of the MTT structure there I'll only be playing CashGames and the weekly J7 TLB.

The most important thing is that I once again have that urge to play poker and it doesn't feel like a grind!

Cheers!
