Icantfold 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 From Bluff Magazine: About BeaL quitting poker When he returned to the poker room and told Lederer and David Grey, another high-stakes pro and member of the group who was watching the game, David shook Beal’s hand and said, “I’m sorry to hear that, Andy. See you in two weeks.”Grey may have underestimated by a factor of forty, but it was hard to argue with his logic. There are no former poker players'That is a very interesting quote, I could not agree with it more. I feel like everytime I take a week or two off "something pulls me back in" I guess their is no such thing as former poker players. eh Mike Mcdermott.

jafrey 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 It would be extremely difficult. Link to post Share on other sites
TS Clark 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Good grief, yes. I make decent spending money playing the game a handful of hours a week and I thoroughly enjoy it, but I could give it up. If I couldn't answer yes to the question above, I think it would be time to ask some serious questions about myself and how important a game is in my life.Now, if I made my living playing, it might be a different question. But there are very few people on this forum who couldn't make more money doing something other than poker than they are from playing. If you are bright enough to be a consistently winning poker player, you certainly could be making more working for yourself or The Man. And, frankly, the VAST majority of the people on this forum don't make their living playing, nor is the money they are bringing in any more significant than what they would make working a part-time job.I don't mean to sound preachy, because I have more than my share of faults and weaknesses. But if you are serious when you answer "no" the poll question, it's time for some self-reflection. Link to post Share on other sites

woodfrog 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Quite easily, but i would never have to, considering the fact I limit it and see it just as a time killer, and it never interferes with anythinge else i do. Link to post Share on other sites
ROGUE06 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I could never quit but could limit myself to playing less if my girlfriend continues to oppose or I have something better to do. Link to post Share on other sites
TheCinciKid 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I don't like to ever say never, but right now I can't imagine something that would make me quit for good. I have to think that there are things that could happen in life that would make me quit for a while, but I'm sure if I did I'd be back some day. Link to post Share on other sites

theresa113 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I could probably quit and it has nothing to do with poker. I just tend to keep very involved with things for a while and then a few years later lose interest. Though I can not see it happening any time soon, my track record would indicate that I would quit poker some time in the future. Link to post Share on other sites
