[matt674]

good luck to all those going to the WSOP.  Perhaps we will see matt become the first monkey to win an event.

Wont be going this year but take a good look at this face - here will be the first monkey to win a WSOP event.

Only 4 & 1/2 months old and already 2nd in a $100 HORSE event with 1167 runners for over $16000 (ok, only play money - but its a start)

Nothing wrong from taking a break from poker - i'm enjoying one now, but it doesnt mean i'm going to leave the family!!

Don't be a stranger

Good Luck Sark.

If it has to be, it has to be. . . . but remember Blonde has loads of non playing members like Nem, Bolt and Myself.

Be happy, safe and enjoy whatever you do.

All the best.

Missed you will be.

Yes I too don't usually care much for the "flouncing out" type threads but, hey, this is Sark which means he's using this thread to just let us know what's going on in his world rather than looking for a reaction.

Real shame that you're leaving the forum my friend and I'll miss your postings greatly.

Enjoy the next few months and all the best with your studies.

Mind those savage horses too!

What a crackin photo Matt :-)

Sark as you know I have have posted 3 farewells to poker as I recall maybe more LOL

Its not that easy to walk away.

Before I joined Blonde I played for fun, I played mostly $1/3 stts and set my self a budget of £10 sometimes £20 a week that I could afford to lose and to be honest I was quite happy with that, it was much less than I spent at a night in Bingo and I was having a great time chatting to people all over the world.

I spent several weeks/months reading all the posts on here before I first said hello and I can honestly say joining the forum was a turning point in my life. I loved being part of the community but it also meant that to be a part of it I had to contribute.

I posted a couple of hand anaylisis and the responce I got made me realise I was plankton to a school of whales. Some of the answers i read make me feel like a complete idiot.

It didnt put me off and I have made SOOO many friends on here, professionals who will give you advice, amateurs like me saying thanks for posting coz i wanted to ask the same but didnt and the ocasssional (not often enough) chat up merchant who put a smile on my face.

Most important to me is that Blonde has taught me that poker is a game of chance/skill and if you can improve on your skill then you will win more often, I can now spot the numpties on the table but more important pick out the players who are better than me.

Blonde has taught me this...it has also made me realise...like Sark that you can only play your best and if your best isnt good enough then its time to bail out.

I wish you good luck Sark babe and Im sure you will be successful in what ever you do, you have that positive outlook in life and dont ever lose it.

I hope you make it to a Blonde Bash..you have more friends on here than know.

Hi folks, thanks everyone.  I wasn't trying to be a drama queen honestly, I just didn't want you all to think I had been imprisoned, hospitalised by the local Hoodies or eaten by my Venus Fly Trap by accident.   I still feel I would be better off taking at least 6 months off poker and I will probably redeposit into a site and concentrate only on STT/Tournaments  when I start playing again.  Like I said to Graham the other day, cash games are never going to suit my game and I am now beginning to understand that.

I am sure I will pop in to say hi every so often though, It will be hard to stop my OCD style clicking rituals, every morning it is in this order -  hotmail, BBC sport, BBC news , euronews, Blonde, motorsport forum, wikipedia, youtube.  Once I missed out euronews by mistake and the next day we had unusually heavy rain and the bin men forgot to empty my wheelie bin.  I always wonder if my lack of a euronews click caused this to happen, lol.
