Break from poker for a bit

Bit of a lull poker-wise just now, I'm taking a break from poker for a little while post-LV. It's real nice to have a week or two away from the tables. Will get back to poker once I've sorted a bunch of stuff out.

Bankroll is now $8k, down from $13k pre-Vegas. So I'll be grinding $200nl upon return.

Been thinking about playing styles a bit too, listened to a really good interview with Leatherass on a Cash Plays podcast. He talks about being deceptive with postflop play, rather than being deceptive by playing loose preflop. I think playing a tighter (more 20/17) kind of style would suit me more preflop and allow me to play more tables and get more volume in.

I'll book a session with Brian in a week or two and work on the new style, then start really focussing on getting a lot of hands in, and working on my postflop play.

But now, it's off out to enjoy the sun. :)

P.S. Cheers to everyone who read and commented on the Vegas posts and stuff, glad some people found it interesting. Was a lot of fun.

I just came from a blog a little bit ago where someone was taking a break from poker for a little while. I always enjoy taking breaks from it too as the game can kind of wear on you from time to time.

Leatherass is one sicko of a player. Does he still do training videos for StoxPoker?
