I AM BACK!!!

Well did Black Friday suck as bad for everyone else as it did for me?? After about an hour of being stunned from staring at the screen I kind of shrugged and told my wife I guess I was done playing online poker. I eventually cashed out my money on Stars and quit doing anything with poker. After about a year I went back on Stars and started playing play chips just for fun from time to time. I built it up to several million but play chips just didn't give me the thrill of playing so I stopped again. Then last year I started browsing online to see if any options had opened up yet and saw that there were a few small sites accepting US players. I checked them out for a few months and used play chips to get a feel for the software while checking the money side for what type of games they offered and stakes. A couple of months ago I went ahead and dropped my usual minimum deposit of $50 onto one of them and started playing again in limited amounts. The forced hiatus allowed me to look at the time I had spent playing poker (and not being with my wife and kids) versus my minimal return on my time at the micro stakes. While I had some fun playing it definitely was not worth the time away from my family. I do not play much currently and might only sign on once or twice a week for a few hours. It is truly a hobby only and I do not plan on playing any more frequent than what I currently do. This new site (I will leave it not named) does offer my double or nothing type SNG that I used to enjoy so I have continued to play those once again with good success. The games are even easier to beat now than they used to be on Stars at the micro limits. I remember running into gold and platinum players in the micro limits that used tracking software & multi-tabled like crazy on Stars and on this site so far I have not really seen the same person on multiple days. Since the site is small they do not have very many SNG's launching so I have played anything from $.50 - $5.00 depending on what is filling up and my mood on the day. I have run at nearly 40% ROI so far on the $3.00 ones which the my highest volume SNG I play (70% of all my SNG I have run). I have been playing some MTT also the past few weeks though and have had a lot of success on those. All have been very small buy-ins of $1.50 or less but I have won or placed 2nd in 6 of the 13 I have entered. The most runners was 57 in any of them though (small site like I said). I have nearly tripled my initial deposit so far with only a total tournament count (both SNG & MTT) of around 60. I might start switching from the $3 SNG to the $5 SNG but as well I am running on the $3 I am not sure if I want to move up just yet. I reviewed the weekly MTT they offer and there are some nice guaranteed low buy-in ones I am going to start taking shots at. There are three in particular I am going to look at: $.50 R & A with $500 guaranteed, $1.00 R & A with $2,000 guaranteed & $3.00 R & A with $3,000 guaranteed. The previous fields in these run around 200-400 players so they are some of the larger tournaments on this site, but nothing nearly as big as some of the Stars tourney's. I will post from time to time progress along with any interesting situations that might occur. Anyone else out there still playing domestically??
