Not been a lot to update with regards to poker in the last few months as have hardly played.. Have had far too much going on at home with building work about to be completed this week after four months, had a health scare in May when I had chest pains over a few days which led to a hospital trip and a number of checks on my heart including a 24hr monitor. It was a good warning and  led to me putting my health first before anything else. My weight had got to nearly eighteen and a half stone which is ridiculous at 5 stone 9. I joined Slimming World and started slowly exercising daily and have so far managed to lose two stones in three months. 

So with all the above I was struggling to get in the right frame of mind to play a session, concentration was very poor and wasn't enjoying it a couple times I played, therefore didn't play for a good period as I won't play If i'm not fully focused or in the right frame of mind. Poker bankroll is about the same as in the last post.

Before playing a few on Sunday : Pokerstars $1677 : Tilt $310. Pokerstars.FR 605 euro's Winamax 1184.

Played six on Sunday and really enjoyed it and felt I was playing well again. Came 10th out of 5000 on Stars.FR in a 10 euro game but butchered the last hand on the final table bubble when in 5th spot, 5 handed I raised J9clubs and got reraised by player who was 2nd in chips and was 3 betting way more than anyone else. I decided to call and flop came down 9hearts 6 clubs 3 clubs. All the money went in and he actually had an overpair this time and held. Gutted as a 5th place or above finish would have got the stake in profit again.

Hopefully I'm in a position to start playing full time again now and with Pokerstars World Championship of Online Poker starting, September is a good month to get back into it. I won't be forcing it and going to focus on 6 tabling at most but all being well will put some serious hours of play in.
