No Longer Beginners Circle Moderator

As many of you have noticed, I'm no longer the Beginner's Circle moderator. I decided to step down earlier today, and it's something I've been contemplating for a while now. I have a lot of reasons for doing so, but it suffices to say that I can't give poker or this forum the attention it deserves right now, so I'm getting out of the way to let someone else take a shot at it.

Best of luck to everyone in 2011, and as usual I'll still be in IRC a lot if people need to get in contact with me for some reason.

Had a good run Spoon, hope you decide to pick up the reins again some time down the road.

Thanks for everything.

Yeah, thanks for all the teaching Spoon

Who is taking over?

It's only been a short while, but I thought you were a really good mod. GL

Spoon 4 mod!

I'm very disappointed to learn this. Best of luck to you, Spoon.

Taken the news like a knife in the stomach. Hope all is well .

Thanks for all the time and energy you've given as mod Jesse. You've done a great job - a quick search on both threads started by and posts by spoonitnow in BC the last 12 months returns incredible results.

Hope 2011 pans out great for you.

oh, and

From what I've seen, you've given FTR a shit load of lights-out poker strat. Not sure what or if you've received in return other than headaches or to pat yourself on the back, but thanks. My favorite strat writeup by far is the calculating hand blockers thread. Good stuff, thanks.

Not sure who's going to take over but it's gotta feel like babysitting at times. Outside of the BC regs, there's always some weird shit posted in here.

Daven for mod? I'm sure he'd love to give up a few thousand hands per month to babysit this place, amirite?

Yea i appreciate everything youve done for us spoon. You are the mane.

I say we have a survivor style reality contest to see who is the next mod

Let's have m2m and Daven, so they can also moderate eachother.

What's the deal with irc? Can't connect to the thundercity servers today.

Appreciate everything, spoon. Thanks for the great threads.

Waittttt just because you're not a mod doesn't mean you can't start good threads. Remember that

kmind has a good point

I think the server is down.

And thanks everyone. Best of luck.

im on irc and its like dead

Hey spoon, just wanna tell you thank you for evrything you've done in the bc. You've taught me more, either directly or inderectly, than I even knew there was to learn about poker. I regret that I wasn't able to make the most of my time with you here.

Good luck to you, and hopefully we'll get you back someday.

Thanks for the great work as mod!

Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

Jk. <3

But seriously.

Outstanding job spoon and much appreciated! As we all do sure hope your contributions continue as I know they are very appreciated.

I'm not much of a poster, but I read craploads of others, mainly yours Spoon. I can understand your reasons and certainly want you to do what's best for you and yours. I wish you all the best and thanks for your great efforts!

Thanks Spoon. Amazing job. You have left an awesome legacy. I will be reading and re-reading your posts for a long time, as i'm sure numerous others will.

Thanks Spoon.
