about to jump back on the online poker bandwagon....diary of a small time fish

Live poker FTW, much more sociable

this is the problem.  I've played more live poker over the last 8 months or so, and I just LOVE the game.  Get a real buzz from it and thrive on it, whatever the stakes.  As a result, I play much better live and have a lot more success.  Online just doesn't do it for me anymore.

Financial circumstances mean I can't really get out and play much, if at all, at the moment.  Since I split from my husband last year I've been kidding myself that I still have some disposable income to spend on poker.  I don't.  I've kept my head above water by winning more than I've laid out, but the money has eventually had to find it's way back to day-to-day stuff. 

Truth is, if I want to carry on playing poker (which I really do - live poker I mean), I either need to grind out a bankroll online (which looks like it's not going to happen) or find a rich backer (also not going to happen).   

I think I just have to accept that poker can't feature as much as I would like it to in my life at the moment, so will have to take a back seat until circumstances change.  Still looking forward to the social events though - got the sky thing in Brighton next week and the forum challenge in July

The game is always there take your time in coming back............we all know you've got the game. Oh and good luck for Brighton.....you'll have a wicked laugh

I'll contemplate a little more over the coming weeks.  Think I might look at just playing sats for a bit.

this is great stuff

Claw starts a diary, changes strategy three times on one night, decides she's up for it, she isn't, she might be, far prefers live poker and then back to trying sats..all in less than two pages!!!

Decisiveness FTW!

That made me Lol, and if I may say so without sounding sexist or condescending, this thread is so typically female.

PS- Before you tear me to shreds girls, I don't mean that is a bad way, (God knows we men are guilty of our share of stereotypical behaviour) I mean it's a girlie and endearing type thread, all part of your fascination, viva la difference and all that.

I like this post.  As I usually get called a 'geezer-bird' it's nice to be referred to in such feminine terms

oi you sexy geezer bird

thanks - I think

After the shennanigans of Saturday night I managed to up my balance by $4 thanks to the blonde cash table.  So today I'm changing tack and punting my 69 bucks on a higher risk/higher reward strategy and hitting the MTT's today, starting with $2 and $5 rebuy.  At the very least I enjoy rebuys, so I won't be tilted due to boredom!
