I hope you never lose that excitement! Don't get old and withered and grumpy like me. Stay forever young.

Gl Ben. Whether you quit and come back with a fresh perspective or quit forever, it will be a good decision.

I have been feeling the same way about poker for the last 6 months. Last summer I voluntarily picked up a ****ty real life job for 1 month in hopes of rekindling what I loved about poker to begin with. Freedom. It worked in the short term, but I'm slowly falling back into a depressive state.

From one Ben to another, good luck and god bless.

gg Ben.

It's been really nice to read your analyses here and discuss poker with you many times.

I am not surprised about your decision as curiosity and experimentation is what defines your poker soul (and I guess your overall soul as well).

Best of luck with your future projects.

I always really appreciated how open you have been with mental health issues; and how much you have added to the community as a whole.

Good luck in everything else going forward!

Really related to what you said on the joeingram podcast about poker inhibited our growth because of how comfortable we become with it. I'm happy to see you cutting the cord completley and seeing where it takes you. Best of luck

I'm going to lump these together, but I've always been buoyed by the response I get to this kind of thing. It's probably the single best thing I've done for people over the past seven years, and the response really helps push me to do more, especially when it gets emotionally exhausting. Thanks guys!
