Rain, rain, go away,...

...come again another day.

It's raining for 3 straight days now and it doesn't look like stopping. It already fell roughly 150l per square m. Please stop raining...

New bike

Handball season is almost over, 2 more games to play and I'm free. In order to keep myself in shape and to have something interesting to do over the summer, I bought myself this little beauty:
Back to poker. I'm still not playing seriously like I used to. It's been 4 weeks now and it makes me worried because I have no desire to play at all. I'm perfectly happy without poker and all the stress that comes with it but to be honest, I could use the money. Don't know what to do in order to start playing again...

April

It's time for another monthly update...

After an extended period of mindlessly chasing bonuses, I finally broke down. I've lost my entire thought process and begun playing like a zombie. Over my poker career, I had a few bad periods in the past when I wanted to quit poker but something like this has never happened before. My friend was laughing at me when I told him but I literally forgot everything I knew that made me a winning player. So after finishing with Betway, I decided to take a break. That was at the beginning of April, on April 4th and ever since that day, I haven't played a single serious session until 2 days ago. I tried to play but after 15-20 minutes I would usually realize I suck so I decided it's best to quit.

I tried watching some poker videos and one old session review from my friends coach, which got me thinking and I see sings of improvements in my game but I'm still not my old self. On the other hand, talking to my friend was a complete waste of both my and his time. When I told him, he probably thought I was joking so he wasn't helpful at all. I can't remember one good advice I've got from him other than the standard reply you get from NL donks all around the world, that I should switch to NL.
