You dont have to play every day or even every week to keep poker up as a hobby.
Anyway goodluck for your non-poker stuff and make sure you keep checking in.

btw the party isnt over yet. Everyones just taking a short vomit break. Itll all be going smoothly again soon
I really do enjoy the game (except for the downswings ... going out on the bubble deep in a MTT ... having a boat sucked out by four of a kind ) ... AND I have worked hard on my game ... BUT ...

After the high tech crash in 2000-2002, I found myself in a mid life career change. I spent the first 4 years struggling to build a business (financial planning). Finally, 2 months ago, I landed a great job with one of the larger investment houses. I manage about $270M now. Plus, I am studying for a CFP (certified financial planner) certificate with 2 years of work done and one left.

I did leave $100 at neteller so ... just in case I get the itch ... I can play the game. But for now, I need to focus on the new career with the new job and the CFP.

Thanks again to all ... maybe I'll see you at Bodog someday soon ...
