New start?

This blog never took off very much but i've decided to try to start blogging again every once in a while just so i can later track my progress and see what i was thinking at a certain point in time.
Since my last post a lot has happened. At that point in time i worked a fulltime job as a software engineer and played poker when i got home till late in the night, basically it was a pretty unhealthy schedule i was keeping up. At some point i started to suffer from repetitive strain injury which also affected my work. Because poker is supposed to be just a (serious) hobby for me i decided at some point to cash out most of the money i had on several sites and play only live tournaments in the casinos in amsterdam and utrecht in order to avoid the computer when i was at home.

At that time i was so into poker that i made a schedule to play almost 4 live tournaments a week so i could still play alot of poker while not using the computer at all. While i had doubts i could keep up this schedule because of the pretty high stakes at the live tournaments ( my bankroll was nothing near sufficient for 60euro NL and PL rebuy tournaments or 110euro freezeout tournaments ) i still tried this for a while, unfortunately with not much succes. The only time i ended in the money was at a 60euro NL tournament in amsterdam where i finished at i think the 7th place ( i think out of 80 players ) and got busted when someone took my last chips away from me by crushing my AA with KQ. Ofcourse i didn't win enough with this 7th spot to be able to pay for all the buyins and rebuys.

After trying the live tournaments for a while i went on vacation for a month, not touching a computer at all and not playing any poker at all either. I did this to allow myself to recover from the RSI. After i returned i still suffered from RSI but after a few weeks of work somehow miraculously my RSI began to slowly fade away.

After my vacation i also played at a new local 10euro rebuy tournament i discovered without much succes but it was still fun after a one month pokerbreak. I also tried the online tables again but this time i didn't open up 6 tables but kept the table amount to just 2 tables. Since i didn't have any bankroll anymore i deposited 50 euro and started playing 25NL with a little succes.
This is where i'm at right now. What i want to do from now on is occasionaly play the weekly 10euro rebuy tournaments and try to slowly let my online bankroll grow according to raszi's bankroll plan. I'm not planning to play as much as i used to since that was just too unhealthy in multiple ways. I just want to occasionally play poker from now on but still take it seriously.
I will see if i can report my progress every once in a while.

Good luck at the tables!
