Poker has been completely absent from my life until this weekend. For three weeks I have not played a hand. NOT ONE!!

I did play this weekend though, and had a good time of it too. I went to my buddy's house, where we have just started playing a small friendly $20 tourney on Fridays. We used to do this until some of our regulars went to Iraq. Now they are back, and I can start raping them again. Anyway, I took first there. I won a bunch of money on the UFC fights on saturday. Anderson Silva is my boy. Then, in my triumphant return to the FTR community, I took second in The Gauntlet game VII. So I think I am back for real, and I plan on going full on and playing some serious poker.

Also, I plan on reading a few FTR articles, and posting my opinions here tomorrow.
