Revel in my pain as I try to become a better poker player.

I'm Back???

For some reason, I am starting to get the itch to play more poker again. Both live and online. I don't know why. Perhaps it is a desperate need for money? Ha! Well sure, but that's not really all there is. I think it is more just wanting to get better at it. I've been playing poker for 4 years now and though I think I have improved from those early days, I'd have to say that things have kind of stagnated for me lately. Which can be kind of boring. And I like poker, so I don't want it to be boring. Time to change things up and actually put an effort in to get better instead of thinking it will happen naturally. That means playing more poker and actually thinking about the game instead of just putting it in cruise control and betting pairs, suited connectors, and A-picture card while watching Pawn Stars! Will I actually do it? Probably not, but at least I know that's the direction I should be headed in.

Having said all that, I dipped back into Pokerstars today for a $3.50 50/50 game and came in 2nd for a $6.70 share of the prize money. What will happen next?
