Thanks m, the games are very tight at 10NL, a lot of nitty regs, so I'm playing pretty LAG and throwing some $ away so far.

Good to see you playing again, your old blog was an inspiration when I started playing. I'll be looking forward to seeing your progress, hopefully learn something from you along the way. GL man.
Glad to hear that it was an inspiration. It was definitely a fun ride and shows that some hard work can definitely pay off. Good luck to you too. Also, good tips, the play is pretty straight forward and there is basically no meta game involved so I have leveled myself a few times, when my opponents are making little to no adjustments as I am making some based on my own play.

I have heard the same thing. I see it all over the Lock Poker sub forum on 2+2. Unfortunately I do not have nearly enough $$ to worry about that. But fortunately, I have heard that you can trade on 2+2 marketplace for .80 on the dollar. While not ideal, it will allow you to get 80% of your money and then you can pay taxes on that 80%...Proud to be an American! ...

A small update, I've only played about 3,000 hands, I'm really only comfortable 4-5 tabling right now, and I've been having some trouble with the wireless card I bought for my desktop as it keeps connecting to router/connecting to Internet and is not reliable, so I've been using my fiancé's laptop, which isn't ideal. I'm about breakeven, and up like $20 in rakeback. It seems like they just randomly put some money in my account everynight, as I don't know where to track my rakeback or the %. But it is fun to log on and see an extra couple dollars in the account the next day. I'll post a larger update once I get to maybe 10,000 hands and where I can take a closer look at my stats.
I also think it would be beneficial for me to do some studying or at least watch a video or two as its been over 2 years since I've been at the micros and about a year and a half since I played online poker. I will admit that it does feel good to play again. Although my dedication to it has gone out the window, as I used to play 60-80 minutes everyday before work and then about 2 hours after work just about every single day. Maybe I will start doing a day or 2 a week in the morning to see how my body reacts, since I now get up at about 7:20 compared to when I used to get up at about 5:50.
