Lots of Rest for the Wicked

A top of the morning to all of you! Yes it's just after 5.00AM down here and I thought it would be the perfect time for me to make my return to pokernews blogging!

In my last blog I mentioned that I would take a break from playing cards to concentrate on other things. The break was very good, though I did however venture to the casino for some $2/3 Hold'em with a friend who promised to stake my buy-in if I went with him. A few hundred bucks later, I realised that I actually didn't miss it. There was something missing...

So I returned to online play as well.

Friday night I won a $22 H.O.R.S.E tournament, good for $256.

Ten minutes ago I won a 207 person $4.40 Limit Omaha Hi/Low tournament. Good for $207.

I'm playing well, perhaps better than I ever have.

But why?

I can't begin to explain to all you card-sharks out there that playing poker should not be a 24/7 thing. Nor should it be a 52-week-per-year thing. Take time away when you're not enjoying it, and come back refreshed.

Trust me.

It's worth it.
