Poker Pains

No poker at all to speak of, hence the lack of updates for ages.
I had a very boozy Christmas and then a week off work to rest and recover. During the past three weeks I have played maybe 20 SNGs and tourneys, all at small buy-ins and most have amounted to nothing.
I don't really have the motivation to play at the moment. I'm studying a lot, playing a bit of XBOX 360, reading, chilling - just no poker.
I'm sure the will to play to return, I've had breaks like this before, so keep checking the blog.

The only wisdom I can impart on you is that I am slightly concerned about a sterling rebound. Looking at the numbers I have $6k in various poker accounts and neteller, which at current levels is £4,100. It costs a fiver to withdraw cash, so I may just pull out most of it and then put it back in again when the dollar is stronger.

The problem is I'm pretty sure the dollar will weaken against most currencies, say the Aussie dollar, Canadian dollar but against sterling (which is pants at the mo), I'm less sure.

So for now is do nothing - which pretty much sums up my poker grinding at the mo!!!

Thanks for the ongoing advice re sterling v the Dollar.Pretty sure I'm going to cash out a decent chunk of my Dollar roll this week.$1.47 at mo.Be nice if it would just creep back down a few cents first...!

That is probably a wise move, $1.47 is a decent rate and the dollar seems to have found a floor at the $1.45/$1.50 mark.
