OUCH, I got totally owned by the deck there, deepstacked too   lol

 

I haven’t been plaing much poker at all recently due to some real-life things going on. 

 

I’m not a big fan of relating my personal life on the interweb, so I’ll keep it short and sweet. – Basically my girlfriend and I split up a couple of weeks ago. It was me that broke it off – We got on fine, she was great looking, but there was just no spark there and  there never really was from the start if I am really honest.

What made me really realise this was me recently meeting someone else with whom I get on really with, that I am totally attracted to.  And no, before you ask, I didn’t cheat on my now ex gf to be with this person! Meeting this new person simply made me realise what was missing from my relationship with my now ex and therefore helped speed up my decision to break up with her.

So I am now slowly getting things together with this new person…. and life is good… really good

This brings me on to the title of this post – Poker is good, it’s fun, it’s a challenge, it can also be very profitable for winning players who put the work and hours in. BUT, poker is just a game and a very time-consuming one at that, whereas life is short, very short. Life is NOT a dress rehearsal, we only get one go at it. You can’t run it twice like you can the flop in some casinos !  It’s all about balance, I guess. I love poker, I’m not giving it up, but life is good too and I only want poker to take up a small part of it…..

GL at the tables… and in life
