2012 - Back again
Hi there,
gosh, it has been a while since a actually visited this site. I took a very much needed break from poker which lasted more a less a year. During that year I played only 2.000 hands and enjoyed my life without actually thinking that much about the game.
I knew that I would be back at the tables at some stage, even after the Black Friday disaster although it was obvious that I needed a different game than holdem. Over the last couple of years I spent the vast majority of my poker days on holdem cash game tables, playing Limit and No Limit Holdem up to the midstakes. At some point I was sick of holdem and decided to take a short break to focus on a different game. The short break turned out to be a year long break in which I got married, worked hard on my career and started running. I lost around 25 pounds and looking forward to my first half-marathon this year.
In November I more or less decided to give poker another shot but from a complete different angle.
I started reading and watching all possible source for Omaha and played some hands which made me thinking about goals for 2012.
I am looking forward to work myself through the micro-stakes, improve my game without really focussing on the money perspective. Poker is a brilliant game but nothing more than a hobby for me. Taking it too serious in terms of "I need to win the money" hurts my game.
Therefore, I decided to define three different goals for 2012:
- Play 100k hands of Omaha
- Start at PLO10 and move up to PLO25 at least
- Write blogposts and post hands in the forums regularly
It feels good to be back for now, let´s see how it goes...
Cheers
