First off, Brian, that was a brutal bust out when you made the staight only to lose to a full house, funny thing is I folded the same hand (QJ if I remember right).

I haven't posted for a while, and probably won't anymore, but I do lurk around every couple of days. The PM's to TP were only about the Titan sign up and a trip to Atlantic City, which I am gonna have to miss it looks like (another story).

I never made a "I'm leaving please beg me to stay post", initially I stopped posting here because of Chip, that is no secret, and TP asked me to come back, I did and the same thing happened all over again, so again I quit posting and during e-mail exchanges with TP about getting shirts made I started posting again, what happened after that I could post but most of you would not believe.

I will say this, keep any and all personal information off the web-site as Chip will use it if he starts to dislike you. Take that as a fair warning and I really don't care if you believe me or not, it is what it is and I know, first hand, the things he has done. Never trust him with anything, you guys can like him all you want, but don't let that cloud your judgement.

The only dissapointing part of that was I did talk to TP about the things that went on between Chip and I, and I suppose when you strike up a friendship it clouds your view of things, I guess I would probably have done/felt the same way, but that doesn't mean it's right.

I have also PM'd Lou on a couple things, one being going to AC this week. No hard feelings, even though he is responsible for one of two posts on the board that I had seen while lurking that took shots at me ( saw it pre-edit Lou) after I quit posting, the other was from Chip of course. The disturbing thing is TP was involved in both of those posts.

Pshabi is another issue, probably a decent guy and someone it would be fun to have a beer with, unfotunatly I don't take well to unprovoked, personal shots at me. Maybe thats a character flaw on my part, but in any event why hang around a place where every post you make has the possibility of being turned into an attack? The thread where I invinted Brett Jungblutt (Gank) to start posting here is an excellent example.

Look, this was never about taking my ball and going home, it's about having better things to do with my time. Hell, if you look at sports handicapping forums I post at it would be easy to see where I dish out, and yes, take MUCH worse than has been said here, thats all in good fun. Pshabi and Junyun do nothing but take personal shots at people and whats that about? Especially considering the PM I got from Pshabi after the first run in we had. As far as Chip goes, well, I have said my piece about him, I think TP understood what happened between Chip and I enough to take his moderator status away form him, so trust me guys there is merit to what I accuse him of.

I am fairly busy this time of year, I have mentioned I work for a professional handicapping outfit and NHL is my responsibility. It takes a ton of time right now finding and trading tapes of practice, scrimages, and exhibition games. Not to mention watching all that tape, but thats whats involved in making money betting on sports, especially this year with all the changes in the NHL.

Some good guys and good converation here, and honestly no hard feelings with anyone, I just have better things to do than start a thread about something poker related only to see a reply for Pshabi telling me I suck dick or something.

Will I still lurk around, sure, why not? There is some good things to read here, but why be a part something that just serves to frustration?
