Au revoir

[Dingdell]

Well this has been some time coming I think bit I have fallen out of love with poker. I'm just not getting the fun and enjoyment from it I used to - don't know why - it just isn't there.

With me failing badly to tame an addictive personality and slot machines - not a great combination - I think the best course of action is to say goodbye to anything that tempts me to put money in a machine - and that includes playing poker - because where there's poker there are those happy laughing glittery larry lobster type machines begging me to put money in. Ridic but thats just the way it is.  I'd rather avoid it before it becomes a major issue.

I am never going to make my fortune playing poker and when the funs gone it doesn't make much sense to keep doing it. If I was a young gun I'm sure my thoughts would be different but at the moment, particularly with the credit cruch still biting, my time and money is probably better spent developing my businesses and a social life outside of discussing three betting!

Secondly there are some great people on here but times change and it's just not the same for me here anymore. I do feel under pressure sometimes when posting, from particular individuals, and life is too short to have to spend time on here always having to justify myself. I know it's a forum, I know we are all entitled to ask and interact but when it becomes personal I just don't see the point to it.   

I have enjoyed some of the best times playing poker, the DTD event with the Steve Davies and Mackem episode was probably one of the funniest and even now I still laugh remembering Gatso doubled up in fits until even the dealer was laughing and the game almost couldn't continue. It was the best game ever.

So - I don't have any intentions of posting or popping in, if things change and I win the lottery and I no longer have to graft for a living I hope you will welcome me back. As I don't buy a ticket winning the lottery may prove a bit tricky but you know what I mean!

I intend to have more holidays, do up my flat and spend my money wisely. I may even do one of those 'open up a restaurant once a week in your own home' type adventures once the kitchen is done so there is some great fun on the horizon.

Those friends on MSN and facebook please keep in touch, as I will, and I hope you are all lucky at the tables and win lots!! xxx

Good luck Trace, and remember...  Don't cry because it's over.  Smile because it happened.

A real shame Tracey - even with you stealing my blinds at every opportunity.

Hope you change your mind and we see you back at DTD.
