I will be making a more legitimate blog post in a few days to reflect on my first year of "retirement" that should prove a lot more interesting than this one.

Last month I've played online poker for pretty much the first time in 6 months after messing up my ankle pretty badly so that now I can't play intramural sports on Sunday. I've run really well overall. I chopped 2 109 FO's with 2k runners each, won the 109 hyper turbo HU, won a wsop sat, won the 500 6max on AP and have had numerous other close calls in big tournaments within the 4 sessions I've played.

To give a preview of my "first year of retirement" blog post I'll say that a year ago I was thinking even if I was 21 I might not go play the WSOP, but I can say that this Summer I'll be putting in some serious volume and am pretty excited for it.
