In Which at Long Last and Long Overdue I call it quits.

Just busted from the 400k in a manner befitting how I've been running for over a month.

Things just don't seem to work for me anymore. Superior mindset but inferior results.

I just realized what many of you have been assuming for weeks/months.

This blog is dead.

I am done with poker too. I don't mean it in a dismissive way at all, but for me there's nothing left to gain or prove. I just reread my first post. I should be satisfied; I acheived mediocrity and a couple of times I did indeed escape it.

I was going to try to become a cash game specialist, but instead I think I will learn how to play golf this summer. And how to rollerblade. And play with my children even - assuming they still recognize me.

Thanks to all for reading and teaching (the latter more than the former), and thanks especially to this guy for showing us all how to save the date via high technology.

Low-tech Retards like me have to count on that most fickle of blades: irony. Fermentation at twelve and twelve again should suffice, but knowing my intemperate pen, this may well be it anyway.

HAFD.

And you refer to me as "The Undeletor"? Booo.

Dude, you got too many fans, and have come too far (you said you didn't do well when you started playing) to pack it in.

Take a break and think it over. You're in a difficult situation right now personally and, I'm not one to talk, but take it in stride. No need to make rash decisions.

Besides, you don't wanna have all the hottie femmes that eagerly fire up your site every morning, hoping to see a new post, to have resort to fantasies about other guys since they miss their hunko blogger.

{End Ghey Mushy Comment}

Best of luck.

I'm going to take up golf too. Wise men think alike.

As for poker and blogging, I feel the same way about them both. Fuck 'em.

So, what's stopping you from writing about golf, your kids, and rollerblading?

It's amazing the number of bloggers who quit playing poker forever on April Fools Day.

well this is about how out of touch I am, I don't even know when the 400k is played.

Congrats on the major score, and oh yes, fuel stole my comment.
