Come on in, the water is still warm...

I am feeling the lure of poker again. I have had a lot of time out from playing due to work and family commitments but with a recent change of job I am finding myself with quite a bit of downtime at home. I keep hearing the knock of poker at my door and think I should step back in the water to see if it still warm.

I am expecting that things are a lot harder. I expect there to be a lot less fish around but I like the sound of a challenge. Also, I havent read up on the legal battle recently in the US in regards to poker but I was always under the impression that one day in the near future the big guns such as Harrahs would work out a way to legalise and tax poker in the US. Even if this doesn't happen poker is still ripe in Europe.

So.. Im gonna multitable 25nl with a $500 bankroll. I have downloaded the Holdem Manager 2 trial (seems a lot more intuitive than HEM which I loved) and will be 4-8 tabling. I have reread my posts on how to beat 50nl and will be playing basic, positional, tight aggressive poker. Avoiding marginal situations where possible and hunting down fish by moving tables and not staying static.

My main goal to start is to find out if i can still play winning poker. I will book 10k hands a complete a full review. In the meantime I will start putting some interesting hands and situations on here alongside 2p2 forums.

Im not sure anyone will read this for a while but hopefully momentum will build and I can lead some interesting discussion and learn from or advise the people that come by. Writing a blog before was fun, helped keep me focused and made me some good contacts. Fingers crossed it will all go that way again.
