My retirement from poker has really come on this month as I just havent felt like playing. Since I first thought about giving it up my heart is simply not in it any more. I have tried a little to mix things up by joining Pokerstars and just playing mtts but I get bored quickly and I think its best to make a clean break from the game. I have to be honest here, I would still be playing if I thought next years profits would exceed this years but I dont think they would. Whilst still beating $50nl comfertably

A huge month for me as I record my most profitable EVER month, on top of this I hit my yearly $10,000 goal 3 months early!! To be honest though it was a case of running very hot. I played a tournament (I never play tournaments) and won it for $650, so close to biggest ever tourney win and I also ran hot at the cash tables, hotter than I thought possible to be honest.

Please stop reading this blog, its getting embarassing to write. Another poor month, this is three in a row now, co-insiding with me calculating my hourly rate (coincidence?) I doubt it. At least there is an excuse for this months troubles, I have been bonus chasing and will be next month also. When PKR offered me the choice of my bonus up to $600 I had no hesitation and went for the maximum. However this has been a big mistake, $400 I would clear comfertably playing $50nl. After a lazy start to

I am exactly half way through my fourth poker year and will now recap my goals at the beggining of this year.

1. Make more money than last year. ($6,120)

This was the easiest to complete of my 5 goals, had I not completed this one I would seriously think about quitting poker. This is not meant as an arrogant statement its just that poker takes up so much of my time, if I felt I was moving backwards I really would call it a day. Good news though, with only half the
