Wow.... This comes as kind of a shock to me. Believe me though, I hear ya. There have been times where I thought it would be great to average $10k a month playing online poker. But to be perfectly honest with you, if you don't enjoy doing that - or worse yet, if you are hating it - or worse yet, if you are hating it AND NOT DOING IT (as in, "losing") - it loses it's appeal very quickly.
I'm still very much undecided, but I think the timing of this Vegas trip is just right for me. I think things will be much more clear to me when I return.
One last thing though melioris - you are a much better poker player than you are giving yourself credit for. I think you are one of the most underrated players on this site, right up there with meanness. I say that based on a number of things, but primarily the posts you both have made in the Hand Discussion section. I can tell when someone "gets it" and when they don't... and you two (and others, but especially you two) both have the foundations needed to become very good players, if that's what you want.
GL to you. I hope you don't feel the need to leave us just because you are leaving online poker. Come on now - we don't take up that much of your time.
