Quitting poker - Page 2

i agree on every level saki........i just havent won a sunday million or bought an apartment otherwise id take the same route

i do share ur thoughts and etc

i moved on also.

good luck. its better to take a long break and eventually u'll prolly be back.

True. I play fricking NL0.05 and I still neglect my girlfriend and studies and working out a lot.
Guess my motivation of playing poker instead of working in McDonald in a month when I run out of money is incomparable with you and your riches

Good Luck with your life, I reccomend you watch Rounders a couple times. It would be sad to neglect poker completely. Get a career or a life fill and come back for couple hours per week

I think a lot of people can identify what SakiSaki posted, but still keep on playing chasing some delusional dream.

Very well written and good luck with everything else. It's good to prioritize what's important in life and what is not.

gl, come back and post an update for us once in a while! would be interesting to hear about what other ventures you get into after poker

If i had been given 300K id quit poker , too ^^

Gl with all your future plans

quoted for fuckin truth man.

i don't think you should quit, more money will make life easier and you can always invest later and have the money work for you, just an idea.

hope you find happiness in other aspects of life

Nobody quits poker for good.



It's in our blood, after 1million hands, our genes become mutated to sense and destroy poker fish.

<3 sakisaki

you deserve a break and this sounds like by far the best move to take right now. I'm sure you will find a love for poker again in the future.

Saki is one of my favorite LPers. This makes me sad =[

GL though! I hope you enjoy your time off, however long it may be.

I like your perspective actually, you need that balance and if you dont' have it you start to hate poker. Thats why I spend time with my gf, go to school, workout with my bro, watch movies and tv shows with my bro, go out to restaurants once in a while, so my life is always busy and i have plenty of variety. If all I did was play poker that would suck in the long term.

If poker makes you feel bad there is 0 reason to play. You have enough money to live stress free for 10+ years. Find something that actually makes you happy.

GL. Having poker as a fall back....sick life.

because for mosty people poker isnt fun enymore and nobody wants to end up doing something that they hate just because it gives them more money (when they have money to live anyway)

I 100% understand the decision Saki, I'm probably quiting poker to in September when I'm going back to school
