After some consideration, I have decided that is it as far as poker goes for me for the foreseeable future. It has been an enjoyable 18 months since I started playing poker and Blonde has been a big reason for this. However, I am just wasting my time and money playing poker and to be honest it just doesn't hold the appeal for me that it did a few months ago. I have no idea how players do this for a job every day and don't go crazy, lol. I have had a solid month of being outdrawn and hitting no cards at all and it has decimated my BR, I see this as a sign that perhaps now is the time to walk away and spend some time doing something else for a while. To be honest, I am looking forward to the summer and getting back into running and cycling which have both been put on the back burner in recent times.
I would like to say a massive thanks to everyone at Blonde for a fun time and I appreciate you putting up with my sometimes insane ways
. I consider you all friends and I am honored to have become part of the Blonde community so soon after I started playing in Oct 2005. I have no doubt that I will see one of you at some point in the future picking up a WSOP bracelet or grinning at me from the front cover of a poker magazine while I buy my morning newspaper at the local newsagents. I still love watching poker and I have actually just spent the last few hours clicking through various youtube videos of HSP and catching a bit of tikays PNL comeback, I just don't enjoy playing poker right now.
I would like to say a special thanks to all the mods who make the forum what it is, so a big thanks to ( in no particular order ) : Red, Tikay, Heid, Ginger, Tank, RobertHM, Iron, Tighty, NoflopsHomer, Snoopy, ElBlondie, Baron, Dewi ( temp BB4 mod, lol ), Charmain ( Birthday mod . She has been promoted
) Rod, I really hope I haven't missed anyone, if I have left someone out then I am really sorry and I include you as well.
Who knows what the future holds, in a few years I may return to poker, but for now I need to take a break from it as it is not making me happy anymore. In September , I am going back to Uni and I will be going into 3rd year, so I have a few months to try and remember what I was actually studying before I stupidly dropped out last year. To be honest I have forgotten most of it already
, its cool though, it should come back after I look over my old notes. I also plan to read and re-read every poker text I can find in an attempt to try and build a solid foundation to build from should I decide to return to the game in the future.
Thanks for the memories all my friends on the Blonde forum. Good luck for the future. Tank and Dale don't work too hard. ( I have thought long and hard over who will win this insane bet. My final decision is that it will be a draw, lol. gl both ) .
good luck to all those going to the WSOP. Perhaps we will see matt become the first monkey to win an event.
Sark .
