Marco posted on his FaceBook page earlier today that he was leaving QuadJacks.com:

Hi guys,

Over the years, especially while working in poker media, I’ve had to read many people’s “resignation” notes, and I’ve often wondered what it would feel like if I ever had to announce I was leaving QuadJacks. Today I am in that position.

I am no longer working with QuadJacks, the site with which most of you have associated me since I made my debut in the poker (media) world, in the summer of 2010.

QuadJacks has changed my life, and leaving it is not easy. I am a better person today than I was two and a half years ago, and without a doubt, I have QJ to thank for that. As people change, however, so do relationships. I no longer feel like QJ is something I can keep giving to, or steer in the direction I would like to see it go in. Therefore, I think the best thing for me to do is to excuse myself, wish everyone the best, and leave.

If you need to reach me from now on, please email me at this address: agentmarco87[at]gmail.com

Thanks so much to all of you who supported, encouraged and inspired me throughout the years. It has been the highlight of my life, and I will never forget it.

Good luck to everyone in 2013 :-)

Marco Valerio

Yes, Marco was a bit green at interviewing, and a tilt monkey.....but these interviews gave life to a usually lifeless-as-the-hallways WSOP, continuing a tradition that began with Cardplayer's "The Circuit" with Matusow/Gavin/Huff, and continuing with "PokerRoadRadio" (Sebok/Ali/Gavin, esp during the Shronk days).....with a slight nod to the PokerNews folks (who work hard, but are more beat writer types rather than raw interviewers).

It connected the poker fan to the poker table, and considering the time frame in which it happened, it gave guests a platform to make their voice heard (as well as give us answers, like during Jon Aguiar's spat with the WSOP twitter accounts).

However A) will QJ still continue with him gone and B) what poker news org will pick up the slack to provide us with the unfettered interviews poker fans desire?

Marco will be missed. I'll always remember the time he rushed Howard in that parking lot. Must see video.

although I'm not involved with Poker anymore I just stopped ny to give marco my best. I enjoyed his dry english humor, found him to be extremely intelligent.
Poker seems to be fading in many ways this is yet another blow to the industry.

I'd like to thank Marco for reaching out to me when I was trying to rally troops to reach lawmakers for online poker. He helped me get a lot of people on board.

It was great listening to you the last few years Marco. Best of luck in the future!

it's one thing to never stop talking and calling people and speculating for dozens of hours in a row, it's entirely another to allow that erratic mess to be broadcast. and god bless you for it, marco.
