You know...I should have probably made this post, like, a long time ago, but I didn't. And, of course, at this point probably no one cares, but I at least want the entry here for historical purposes. But the long and short of it is: I've been made to abandon poker for a while, and thus this blog has been silent. My instinct is to launch into a whole diatribe or whatever, but the bottom line is that I'm unemployed, broke, and in debt, and poker is probably not one the best things to be included in my plans for resource allocation. So...there ya go.

I've managed to squeeze a couple freeroll tournaments in online at some point, so I might get around to writing them up (or not). Once in a very great while when I had the scratch and needed to kill some time, I've dinked around in some cash games in A.C., but nothing really noteworthy came out of that (save that I wasted money). I'm halfway trying to make decent use of this break by trying to learn more while being away from the tables, but it's tough and somehow...uninspiring to study poker while knowing I won't be able to practice. So...we'll see how that goes.

Anyway. Plans are in the works for employment, budgeting, new life, etc., and believe me, once the money part of things is stabilized, returning to poker will be one of my top priorities. For now, though, it looks like, as has become apparent, that this blog will remain fallow for a while longer. So...that was it. Seeya on the other side.

Have you considered spending your time playing way below your limit? If you don't have the cash to burn, play at such a low limit that you're guaranteed success, or at least it'll take a really long time to burn through your bankroll.

I don't know, just a thought. If you don't have the cash to burn, a casino is a pretty high limit to be playing. The amount you'd lose at a casino on a mediocre night would last you a couple of months playing poorly at 5/10c, try to not think about it as money won lost, but as big bets. Instead of thinking "yay me, now I can use this money to buy a 2 topping pizza, what a waste of two hours" think, "I just doubled my 100BB buy-in"

Yeah, you might be on to something there. My habitual use of PartyPoker did two things to me. One, I kinda fell off online cash games when the UIGEA popped up. Two, I forgot there were microlimits out there. Might be nice to just throw a little mini-bankroll out there, if only to keep in practice. Thanks. :)

Let me know if you think you might put some semi serious time into micro-limit Hold'em. I can score you a relatively easy to earn free copy of the pokertracker software...

... I may have offered this to you before....

Are you talking about PSO? I think you may have mentioned it in the past. Even so, I already have PokerTracker, so I think I'm good. I know PSO offers other stuff, so maybe I'll take a look, but...eh. We'll see. :)
