Time out

Well this is it i guess.

I don't want to call it the end of my pokercareer but for sure it's a big time out.

Work and kid taking too much time ( quality time though ) to play serious poker.

I never have been the guy to play one game or so , i always needed to play 3 - 4 hour sessions 6 - 9 tabling or i didn't find amusement in it.

since i don't have the time to do this anymore i'm having a real time out.

Pokerstars decision to not longer let Belgian players cash their FFP points didn't do good either. 0 % Rakeback isn't really what i am looking for ...

Maybe in a few months the need to play comes back, if it doesn't i don't mind. i had a good time playing, made a lot of money from a nice hobby.

But now it's time to move on !!!

Cheers,

Entabeni

Big changes in poker

Hello all,

Just a quick word on recent events in Poker.

First there was Black Friday, on which i don't need to explain alot as all of you what happened then. Nonetheless i would like to say that it's not the first action taken by a country on poker. Look what France did, Italy .... Off course the way the States acted is totally different but for me is only anohter indication that online poker is dead in long terms. The governments of other countries will also take measurements to either shut down a business which they find " illegal " or to otherwise legalise the pokerbusiness and take taxes. Both ways this will be the end for most of the pro pokerplayers on low - midstakes as these games in my opinion.

Second problem is they are introducing HYPERS , which attract most fish / gamblers and keep those players away from normal or turbo games. This also is very bad for good/winning pokerplayers.

It's possible they are introducing these to take as much rake as possible in the short term because they also see problems long term. Rakes in other games have gone up a litle also.

I feel sorry for all of the proplayers and sincerely hope i'm wrong. If not i hope most haven't lived a balla - life and put some of their profits aside so they can profit from this pokerexperience for a long time.

As said, i really hope i'm wrong.

Tought of the day

Had my first losing day in a while, you know, all went wrong ...

And the fish keep beratingme in chat. I finally answered:

You know people, there was a time i did react but i stopped doing that once i was 20K $ up .......................

Don't tap the glass i'd say.

Not a coincidence the bad run comes as Stars made it 15$ instead of 10$, typically me !!!

Welcome back

Today i playd my first 10 normal games in 2011 ( due to loads of work ). In March i hope i get right back on to pace.

Stars gave me their welcome treat as i got screwed set over set in my first game of the day and in my third i had a Royal Flush not being paid off .. LOL

Set over set : 0.03 %
Royal flush : 0.000154 %

Well now i'm sure, it's rigged. Just kidding. Just reminds me of what a brutal game this can be, but i quite enjoyed today's gaems, although i lost a little.

Hope to do some more blogging from march on.

Laters guys.
