Welcome to Jack's Bar




This won't be an "operation thread" as much as it is just a corner in the interwebs where you can chill out, grab a drink, tell jokes, look at the chicks, complain about the weather, do horseplay, and whatever else you please.


As some of you know, I already have had other operation threads, such as where I got to know gambling in general and where I further developed my game. Both of these operations have been, at least from my perspective, complete successes.

Now, some interesting plot twist had to happen towards the end of my second operation, which explains what happened to my roll. I'm supposed to get most of it back, but until then, I only have about $50 to fiddle with online. This (the getting my monies back) is taking much longer than it was supposed to. And therefore I've been postponing my "return" to the online poker scene for months, since, well... But last week I decided it was time to man up and start playing. Swallow that fucking pride and get grinding again at fucking microstakes. Pwn if I can. If I get some or all of my roll back fine. If I don't, fine too.

The reason I decided to do this was twofold: "sitting out" is not good, in that your sharpness will decline if you suddenly stop playing, and specifically for long periods of time. You'll "forget" how to play, and when you start playing again thinking you are the shit, you'll be shit literally.
The other reason is that I intend to be in this for the longterm. Therefore, I HAVE to get accustomed to grinding. I'm gonna do at least some hands every day.


I don't really have a "goal", but rather, a general direction which is pretty fluid. Its the 3rd time I grinded up from microstakes, so I'll be fine. I only feel like Sisyphus, but oh well. There's a reason for everything that happens.





I'll be playing all variations of poker, in MTTs, STTs and cash games.

And don't forget to pour yourselves a drink! You're in my bar, dammit!
