Getting Back On My Horse...

Hello, good morning/afternoon/evening and goodnight to all of you...

After a well deserved poker "break" after my Unibet Open experience, i am finally back to bang my poker drum however exhausting  it may be...

I have written and then deleted about 4 or 5 different posts over the last two months or so and have concluded that i am just simply, utterly and hopelessly unable to write anything at all less than a full A4 pages worth of writing...which does make me question....

why i bother writing anything at all most of the time...if i'm boring myself wtf am i doing to people reading it? looool

So unless you're a glutton for punishment and like to read long undigestable posts on my ramblings i suggest you just stop reading now....cos i can talk.....and talk.....and talk and sometimes never actually get to the point i originally thought of....

 

I'm not sure about other people(cos i guess ive never asked), but i really do enjoy writing/rambling/splurting primarily for myself and then after that  for anyone else who has the patience or speed-reading skills that  that allow you to skim through pages and pages of tripe to pick out anything worth retaining.

So basically, i apologize sincerely if you accidently started reading this and then realised you could be here all day.....my wife has made me very  aware a long time ago that i'm a MASSIVE waffler...some things will never change i s'pose ; )

I'd like to say i'll keep my posts shorter....but that'd be a big fat BLUFF hehe

(there are definately better things you could be doing right now .....like boiling your head in bleach hahahaha)

All jokes aside and my rather perculiar habit of typing fullstops everywhere......(which i think represents the tiny cogs in my head going round) i tend to type/write as i think, so often there are thoughts, feelings, concerns or maybe just micro-thoughts

that i utter in an instance without a second thought, re-assessment or re-evaluation of my own accounts or mutterings.

This is obviously problematic for me until i take the time to read back the stuff  i've written and then either "insta" delete it or amend my own mistakes accordingly.

A good example of this was the various competition entries/posts i've submitted over the last couple of months, i lost count of the amount of mistakes i kept finding in my calculations or statements i had made, some of these errors i found immediately, some took longer maybe hours or days even....some may even still be there probably....

Lesson learnt= proof read your shit 

 

Long story short......(not really, i'm kidding)........I think perhaps i write and talk about poker as a "therapy" kinda like a poker massage  so i do realise i kind of say a thousand words when perhaps i could say none, so i have tried to stop myself writing time and again through a temporary state of "whats the point-edness"..... seems like motivation is at an all time low at the minute,so  i am about to attempt a re-boot and hopefully will find the dam horse nevermind get back on it lol.....

 

Sometimes a break from poker is good for the soul...for me sometimes it feels like the longer i "break" the more i disconnect from it...

i've played the odd mtt since ive got back, and noticed mainly B-game and C-game behaviours recurring in a few spots so i i need to get back on this horse pretty dam fast....and if that means waffling to you guys like a loony, so be it....the ONLY people in the world who understand a poker player are other poker players, so be prepared in advance for some of my future rants on whatever madness i endure over the next coming months.

Wishing all of you the best of luck on AND off the tables, it's good to be back : D......... NH WP GG

 

BTW; Elena RKH sent me a few questions about the Unibet Open, i'll post the answers shortly..... i tried to keep it short i swear.....  : )

Good luck getting back on the horse. A few of us did 2 months of streaming every night for the Unibet twitch promo and we all have had a break from poker for a week or so. Poker is great but like anything too much can wear you out. 

PS managed to read the whole post without falling asleep and still the same day, so its not that long

Cheers Jonny : ) 

Feels like Monday morning for me atm, nothing a coffee cant fix i'm pretty sure ; )

Nice to see you posting again! Looking forward to reading your progress jetting off on that horse in the weeks and months ahead! :)

Cheers dude, soon enough it'll be you jetting off ; )   (hope they stream it somewhere)

How you getting on with Bet365 btw ?  Cash tables aren't too bad from what ive seen so far, a few good regs but still quite beatable...not gonna speak too soon tho lol...... : )

 

 

Bet365 didn't work out too great for me, my tickets were 50 euro and 30's for 2/3 of the prize, and i'm not good enough to play those buyin mtts, so went for sngs (couldn't use them on cash!). Lets just say I lost more than I won! I managed to pull about 70 euros off though and am playing back on Unibet for the time being just started a challenge yesterday - its on my blog and in my profile here:)  - my blog is in my profile too. Thanks for asking, do you have a blog? would be good to follow your progress!

ah nice one, i'll def check it out, i have attempted a couple of blogs but both sites got closed down : (

Gonna start a new one real soon as well as posting on here....just as soon as i've finished getting one outered in this tourney im in LOL....  

take it easy dude ATB, i might jump on Unibet tonight if this Bet365 tour goes well...2/18 at the moment even after getting one outered last 3 hands running hehe.....

Yay shipped the 1K rebuy...may the rungood start here lol : ) 

nice, congrats:0

thanks man, hopefully first of many on 365....Thanks to RKH again : D
