I'm Back, Maybe

It has been six months since I sat down at a poker table, I've quit before but never for this long. I just started playing on the internet again althougt I've switch from Carbon to Doyles Room. I couldn't say if its good or bad for you to be away from the game for that long but, to speak for myself history has shown that I made my two biggest runs on come back sweeps. I think maybe it changes your perspective on your ability level when you take a break. I mean when I quit I had just lost the most money ever at one sitting. I felt bad about my ability as a card player. Not that I believe I've learned anything from being on a break but your self confidence is so important to your game and that returns with time. You either have to play through it or forget, and being the wealthy person I was at the time I could not afford to use option #1. I have started my comeback by just playing super big quick draws and then with the few sents I make every night playing small sit-n-gos. Over a two day period of 4 or 5 games I'm up to a grand total of $2.55. Which doesn't seem like and in fact is not a lot of money, but even so I believe that the value of money is increased the minute you put it on line. An example being how many people wouldn't bend over and pick up a quater on the street but then turn around and complain about the $.25 rake on a hand. I actually may have my first real job in over a year and a half so maybe I can make a deposit online or just maybe find a decent bar game.
