Back in the saddle

Rumours of my demise have been somewhat exaggerated.

After doing my best to annihilate my online bankroll, I took another hiatus from poker of several weeks. Having dropped significantly more than half of my bankroll, and probably 80% of the online roll I was basically on the felt as far as online poker was concerned. I did actually manage to zero all of my poker site accounts, but still had a bit sitting in Neteller.

A couple of weeks ago then, I decided to deposit $100 to play a $10 rebuy on Red Star. I went deep in the tourney, but not deep enough, basically just recovering my buyin. That left me with $78 after losing some in a cash game. Since then, I have run like God, starting with single tables of 1/2 and working up. In two weeks, I would estimate that I have probably won around 300BB at all stakes.

In the context of the cooler of the last few months it's still a pretty tiny dent, but gee it feels like such a long time since I've run this good.
