After Black Friday I stopped playing online (damn the US Government) for almost a year.
The good thing was I started playing even more live poker and I found myself really enjoying it.
As usual work interfered with my schedule after a few months (even though I did pretty good live)
I found myself missing the ability to just log on and play.
I especially missed all the great conversation and camaraderie of places like CC so I came back here
and I started playing for play
chips just to get back into it.
I am still playing live (in a charity tourney this weekend) but I still enjoy playing online when I get home from work.
I think online poker will be back bigger than ever but not till after the next US elections are finished.
