There are more important things than money, and I can tell you that poker gives you no job satisfaction and basically turned me into a lazy, selfish, lonely person.
I feel almost cured now. I still struggle sometimes to get up and get out, but on the whole I am making progress towards being a happy person again.
O, and before people say I am just a busto donk I quit after making $500k in 2.5 years playing cash games for a living. Some things are more important than money though
Anyone else quit recently, or considered quitting recently?
If anyone wants tips on how to quit (its not easy) and move on with life then give me a PM and I can respond.
I'm not some lifelong professional player b/c I've always had other jobs I liked as well, but in my 9+ years of everyday playing, my experience has been that the only thing that sucks about poker are those never ending, math defying, mind numbing downswings (ie losing).
Cannot wrap my head around how clearing 165k a year for 3 years playing cards could be so terrible. Since you won so much (and thats really the most anyone could expect from the game), I'd be interested in hearing what could possibly have sucked so bad.
