I am done. I am taking a VERY long break from online poker. I am tired of Full Tilt, I am tired of getting my money in with the best hand to be rivered too many times. I have bled through 35% of my bankroll in 2 weeks (A considerable $275, at least considerable to me.), and this is without playing anything over a $11 buy-in. The final straw was in the Blogger Big Game last night, where I started off great, played some of the best poker I can, and this happens:

I may be back after the new year to try and make the World Series of Poker, or I may just cash out, I really havent decided yet.
Thank you for those of you who have read my stuff here, I do appreciate it. I know I will keep reading everyone, but my heart just isnt in playing anymore.
Hope BBTwo goes well for you all, but I dont think I meant to be playing in it. I will just lose to much of my bankroll doing something I am just not feeling right now. I hope I have the love of the game back when/if BBThree comes around.

Hope you change your mind. The BBTwo should be a great time and really is a cheap date...most of the tourneys from here on out are $10 or $26.
Good luck either way...
Tough beat...sorry to see you go, but if you change your mind...you know where to find us.
Take care.
at least we still have fantasy football...
that is sucky beat, but still hope to see you again soon at tables.
Yo c.e.m. sorry to hear your plight but lord knows we have all felt that way probably more times than we can count.
And oh how I long for the days when a $275 loss was a bad night of online poker....
But seriously man, just know you are clearly one of the better tournament players out there. I'm not saying you should play if your mind isn't truly in it, but if you have some interest in the Aussie Millions package, you will surely not find a cheaper way to play for a chance than sitting down for 20 or 25 of the 27 BBT tournaments.
Just my two cents, I feel ya on that horridious river card.
