Guess it's time for an update....

It's been a while since I updated my blog.
Not because I stopped playing poker, although I didn't play much the last couple weeks, but just because I didn't had much inspiration to write something.
But it seems that at least some people like to read it, so I decided to give it a shot again.

I've been playing full-time poker now for exactly 4 years and the games have changed a lot since I started. The last 1,5 year it got much tougher, mostly because the ratio between regs and donks has gotten a lot worser. So i'm quite proud that I managed to have only one losing month out of 50.

Since the beginning of this year I'm not playing full-time anymore.
The last couple months I had been thinking about doing something besides poker, because playing 5/6 days a week can be very 'empty'.

So I was lucky to get a nice offer to work for a friend of mine for 2 days a week.
It's an internetcompany (www.studentmobiel.nl) which he started 10 years ago with 2 friends and which is now one of the largest dutch online telecom shops.
I will be doing some financial analytical things there which suits perfectly with my education.

By working 2 days I can still enjoy my freedom (one of the main reasons I started playing full-time), but I also have the challenge of a job again, with colleagues and all the other normal stuff I missed while working alone.

I will still be playing poker on those other days and I might play some live tournaments as well, although I don't know which one yet.

Let's see if I can update this blog more regularly as well....
