Poker in my 40s - Recapturing the Dream or Midlife Crisis

Poker in my 40s - Recapturing the Dream or Midlife Crisis

I used to play a lot of poker in my 20s and while I was never a pro at it I kept a record and was a slighlty winning player. Over the years life and career took over and while I didn't ever stop loving poker, I stopped studying it and whatever small edge I had evaporated in this new era of poker. I kept playing and had very mixed results in my 30s. I got much more degen gambly with it and realized I was triyng ot get lucky more than play solid fundemental poker.

Now that I am a little older I really miss being a student of the game. I have decided that instead of a stupid car or trip I wanted my midlife crisis to be a poker renaissance.

I used to play 2/5nl mostly.

I am thinking of starting over at 1/2nl and trying to grind up a bankroll from there. (I have a family and kids now and want to be responsible with the money I allocate to my hobby)

I am from Montreal and came to these forums looking to find people to talk poker with and engage with modern game theory and get advice.

If any of that sounds like something you relate to hit me up I would love to chat and start a thread or page where we all support one another on this journey
