It has been a while ...

I took a break from poker and at one point didn't even play for 3 weeks straight at all. It was not necessarily a question of motivation, but I wanted to focus more on work and also picked up a part time job as well. When I started playing poker, I used to play HeadsUp SNG and MTT's, but more or less switched back to HeadsUp SNG and Omaha cashgame.

- I finally played an "MTT" again
- I was able to hit a 2 outer for and not against me
- I got into the HeadsUp
- I hit a Royal Flush

Today I played in a Depositors Freeroll and managed to run with 2nd nutflush into the nutflush, not really any news for that part of my timing. I am also used to a very aggressive style on the bubble and in HeadsUp and pretty much dominated the final battle in the Pokerspace OFC Bonus Freeroll on Carbon as well, slowly going from even stacked to a 3-1 lead. After one flip we were back to even stacks and I took the lead again with aggressive play, after the last flip I took my chance again and well, there is not really a better way to finish a hand than hitting a "Royal Flush". Now you might say "pics or it never happened", you can verify it for yourself:



The amount doesn't really matter, but it is a nice confirmation that I still kinda know what I am doing at the tables. It's also a nice confidence boost and I will try to play more often after work and hit the Omaha tables again :)
