Hey all, I haven't been here in a few years. Took time off after my wife passed from cancer back in 2011.As you might expect, I lost all interest in the game.
I played a lot while she was alive, hoping to get that BIG win and help us with our financial situation. I never invested much in poker. always like a $50 deposit here and there, and slowly build my bankroll up. I got it up to about $800 one time, and then withdrew some and donked the rest away thinking I knew what I was doing. BIG mistake!
Well I got the BUG again found some USA friendly sites to play on. America's Cardroom, BetOnline, and Global Poker.
Although I lost my $70 on BetOnline within a few days by playing over my limits.
Trying not to do that again with the other two.
This past week, I think I may have finally began to understand how to play better now. I'm learning more about pot odds and equity. Something I ignored and found boring before.
I think I'm more aware and focused on the players and the board than I was before.
I feel like I'm getting better and it's starting to show on my stats.
Anyhow, I just wanted to say hi, and I'm back with cardchat.
I hope to be able to play in the freerolls again soon.
Not sure how long it will take again to be allowed in.
