Do you lose it?

#1 18-01-2008, 8:20 PM

I am coming back to playing after a few months break. Am I going to be rusty? Will I have forgotten everything? Or do you think I'll pick it up right where I left off?

You'll probably be better than ever because you'll be out of your bad habits and you'll be concentrating more on what you're supposed to be doing.

Good luck.

Glad to see you back, Katie.

Before you jump back into things I would suggest a couple games in a buy-in lower than what you usually play to "warm-up" in a sense.

Good luck back at the tables

I take smaller breaks all the time and come back refreshed and playing better (as long as I do a little studying of my game while on hiatus).

I am in the beginning stages of a 1 month long break in order to get my life back on track. When I come back I hope to be refreshed and re-energized for my poker playing.

I will be studying the game on my hiatus as well, and will continue to be posting here on the forums.
