I really can't think of a figure. I play for fun, and have made a load of friends through poker too - if I took an amount of money to stop playing I'd probably end up being rich and miserable, constantly resenting the fact I can't go to play tournaments I'd like to take part in. I'd give up playing for a year for maybe 40-50k ,but any longer than that I really don't think I could sign up to.

Just on a tangent, I'd happily never play a hand of online poker again for 100k

Okay

I have £10k in cash
I will deliver it to you this evening
Only condition is you cant play poker until 21/11/2010
Your going to turn me down?

You wouldn't have to deliver it to me ... I would come and collect it !!

Thats kind of my point Kev!
I wasnt having a go at Claw but I think there are fair few people on here that would accept 10% of what they are asking for if someone actually turned up at their door with the cash.

Okay Claires may be a bad example

But im pretty sure there are a few people on here who would accept £50k and are stating it would take half a million or something.

I wouldnt consider any amount to stop playing right now, the money does drive you to play but theres something else that makes you want to play!

Looking forward to dtd 2moro, gl all!!
