awesome man. Im pretty sure I split a cab with you on the way to atlantis last year where we talked about how firestone44 or whatever boosted your bankroll. You are a very cool and respectable guy. Enjoy all the free time, I'm envious.

Gordo is quitting the Game

Poker story the same as everyone elses so won't bother with it.

Poker story.

Not actually quitting.

The end.

It would be a real shame for you to leave poker completely. The game needs more people like you. Best of luck with everything

don't want this to turn into a well so I'm not gonna answer more of these types of questions, but as far as this goes, I can't really comment on any of the guys who play above 25/50 since I have no idea how those games really play, but for the 10/20-25/50 range:

1.) some mix of Gump, Rsa, Harrington, Applsgrl and Arbianight

2.) Gump, Townsend, Stinger

any updates for how it's going? It's obvious that you have about 1.5K posts now so you didn't slow down too much. Are you still grinding out the mid stakes, or are you already back to the high stakes? Any recent graphs?

And how in the world did this thread not get more attention?!
