Long Time

I know I haven't posted in my blog for a long time and the reason is pretty simple. I haven't really been playing poker. So no poker, no entry in the poker blog. Heheh.

I don't know what it is. But my desire to play has been really low this October and November. It's not that I'm losing and my bankroll is also quite healthy. It's actually been stagnant in the same level for the past month due to non usage.

I just find that the usual desire to play is not there. I've been using my spare time tinkering around with my fantasy basketball team and reading books (not about poker). I've also been watching quite a few of the new seasons of the shows in US TV like Glee, Californication, Big Bang Theory, Entourage and looking forward to Chuck and Breaking Bad which are about to start soon. So I'm actually relaxed and enjoying my free time.

A few nights ago, I did manage to play a few sets of the Step 1 SNGs in Pokerstars and I parlayed those into a Step 3 and Step 4 ticket. The Step 4 ticket worth $215 I'm reserving for a crack at the Sunday Million. So I believe I'm not too rusty even with the extended break. But even these recent wins have not given me any kind of excitement.

I'm not too sure how long this poker malaise will last. I'm thinking its probably a case of burnout and I need some time off. As to how long, heck, your guess is as good as mine. =)
