Well as some of you may or may not be aware of, my online play was a work assignment. Like all good things, this assignment has come to an end, and as such, so has my online playing.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their help in vastly improving my game from when I started to until now. I certainly needed (well still do) the help. I will stop by periodically to see how things are going.

Take care and good luck to all.

Work assignment....?

You mean you actually had a job where they paid you to play poker online? Sounds like one pretty cool job.

They had to do research into the life of an online poker pro, before filming Rounders 2
Is that guy still part of the forum??

I work in the gaming industry, specifically in acquisitions, joint ventures, and strategic development. I was conducting first hand research on the feasability of entering the online poker market. My, along with several other co-workers, responsibilites was to evaluate different sites on a variety of criteria. I was bankrolled (actually expensed) for my online play.

No, I did not play all day, this was just merely one of many assignments, so unfortunately I did not get paid to play for 8-10 hours a day. It was a great assignment, which also had its downsides, that unfortunately came to an end. My agreement stipulates that upon assignment termination, I was too close all my accounts and will not play online for a period of 6 months.

Well, the clock is ticking and hopefully by the time I can play again Rilla will have reached 4,000 posts. Anyway, you guys have a great site here - keep up the good work. I will continue to lurk and will be back at the tables in 6 months (sooner if the project picks up steam again).

You should totally convince them to offer the FTR 100% bonus if the site ever gets going.
I run a training site...
