Ask Spoony About Poker, Life, and Anything Else

OK, I played a coupla hundred hands 3 tabling 6m last night, and my brain is poker-dead. I get dealt AJ and I freeze. Is this a good hand? Oh, wait, position or something matters. And yeah, the guy next me in the CO is a nit. That probably means something.

It was like for over an hour. Just not in poker-gear at all.

Right before my 5 months off, I withdrew, knowing I wouldn't be playing much. Right now, I'm rolled for 25nl on FT and 5nl on Starz.

Question: should I even bother with 2nl?

I'm willing to play 5nl or 10nl, but I don't think, even with my current lack of skill, that the zaniness of play at 2nl will help knock off the rust. I don't have some ego thing to deal with. I actually played some 2nl last night and I just enjoyed playing poker again after so long a time off. Just want to get as much of my old skill level back as quickly as possible. And if 2nl is the best place to knock off rust, I'll go there.

I'm interested in Spoon's reply, too. But I'd say hell no. You got da skills to crush these micros.

I took a long break from poker, too. I started playing again in April at 25nl w/ 30BI. If you still have the roll, that's where I'd start.
