Surrender!

 

Life gets in the way and Im going to have to cash out and take break from the pokers. I only have less than 1k online but I sort of need that money for something at the moment. So its not surrender, its retreat and regroup. Im not giving up on my dream of becoming a winning mid stakes player, just taking a break.

 

I have played ALOT of poker since I started about two years ago. This break which should last a month or so should allow me to answer some interesting questions about myself and my play. Am I addicted to online poker? I dont think so, but an enforced break of a month should allow me to look at how I react to not being able to play. This is most likely a good thing.

 

We are talking $2 HU sngs, 25nl, and 10plo here, so even if I am addicted, whatever tha means, we dont have a serious financial issue. I am interested in wether, or the extent to which,  the online poker has interfered with my normal day to day activities and interpersonal relationships. Allthough the money at my stakes is not significant, the time certainly is, so Im looking forward to seeing what develops, even though Im sure that Ill be wanting to play.

 

So there is a real world out there, and a little break might be in order. The amount I had to play to clear my $325 bonus at FT was just ridiculous and I was really not enjoying myself. I look forward to coming back to the games with a fresh perspective in about a month. Just because I cannot play does not mean I cannot continue to study the game

 

Thats it for now, as always keep your cheeks tight people.
