Hello
New to pokerz. Anybody got any tipz?
Seriously though, not had a proper game for 3 months + and even towards the tail end of last year it was all a bit bitty. Started new job a couple of months ago and had to do plenty of study to get myself qualified, and now I am, I have a more income coming in and plenty free time now the studying is over....
So I'm planning on returning to the grind after a long break, and starting from a small BR. Only £100 to start with, but seriously don't feel I could play less than 10p/20p - even that I think I'm going to find excruciating.
Can there be any justification for just playing maybe 15/30 with 3 BI's?
Also, anyone else ever had a prolonged break and how did they feel on their return? Rusty? Or is it quite easy to get back into the swing of it?

If your happy to reload then there's nothing with 3 BI's
I've had a few breaks over the last few years but never as long as 3 months. I hear it tends to improve your game. Can refocus you and leaves some of the old baggage behind. GL, or goodskill, whichever you prefer
I haven't grinded at all this year really apart from a couple of weeks in April, and whenever I was playing I didn't feel like I wanted to play at all so wasn't playing well. But that's probably just to do with the fact that I've been pretty busy with real life stuff and have had no motivation to play online.
If you're going to have a lot of free time now though and you've got the urge back to play again then you should be fine, 30nl seems fine providing the £100 deposit is not all of your poker money and you can reload if you go bust. glgl
Been working through the day and studying at night, exams passed now so I've now got my nights back.
Quite looking forward to playing again but almost feel as though I've forgotten how to play. Some may say I never knew in the first place but that's another matter
By his own admission cliokid doesnt want to play low stakes. If you knew more about his history on this site you'd know why 2 seperate people comment that 3 BI's is ok with the intention of reloading if the shape goes pear.
After i have had a break the things i find hard are Tilt and how long to play. The how long to play has been the hardest for me, quiting after losing 3 buyins even though i have a few very good tables. (i think fcuk it)
How many tables was you playing?
If it was 6ish tables then i will sugest playing less than you was to start off with, say 4 max.
With a £100 roll (as long as you can reload) its prob best to play 4 tables of £10nl rather than 3 @ £30nl. You might start off great, first few sessions might see you +10-15 buyins Then take a stab at £30nl.
Missed your input in the clinic. Congrats on the job and exams and all that serious stuff!
Will hopefully be posting alot more again now that I've returned to the baize!
