Just wanted to ''anti brag'' a lil bit lol. In last 9 AA i got which ended in ALL IN, i won 3 and lost 6.
In the last 12 AA i was against all in, i lost 12 and won 0.
In the last 7 AK vs Ax (less than K) i won two and lost five. In the last 9 Ax VS AK ( i had the weaker hand) i won 1 and lost 9.
I win KK all in once in every full moon!
This is not a moan thread, just a, hm, how do you say, interesting trivia
Since i am still in pretty good profit for this month, much more than i imagined lol, this is the best possible time to just stop playing until some interesting new offers arise
I wish you all luck at the tables, if you by any chance meet me in the future on the SnG's, hope i get any of the above hands, lol, makes a sure win

For me-it was enough, i will listen to signs. I needed a certain amount of money which i had no way of getting by honest work-poker provided me with that amount in less than a month's time. Since the goal is acomplished and my wish was granted, it is no wonder that things like this are happening.
I am not a greedy man. I got what i bargained for and i am happy about it The edge is gone from me, i no longer fill it in my bones, i am free of poker

Variance comes into play every day, and when its good you keep going and when its not so good you just go a bit slower with buy ins and tourneys until it comes right again and hit it HARD!!!!

At least u reach ur goal as u say whatever it was. For most of us here the goal is to win a wsop bracelet lol... that will take a bit more time u see . Nonetheless u can always come back and set urself another target. as long as it starts on a brm offer u have nothing to lose right?. Best of luck on, playing cards or not

Thanks everybody, and thank you Luka!
You are right, that is just what i was thinking, i am not saying farewell to poker, i am just saying until next time.
I was on the edge in the last month, even had bit of a hard time sleeping, didn't honor the bankroll managment, actually, i was even investing 100% of my bankroll on a single SnG, i was doing a lot of things that shouldn't have been done, yet i was awarded every time. Can't really explain it.
After my goal was reached, i lowered my stakes and started playing by the book after which the above happened. I know my behavior was hazardous to say the least and that is just why i will take a little break.
Wait for a good offer from BRM in the future. Poker tables will surely see me again

in my opinion as well as many serious players taking a "vacation" from poker is nothing but a good thing. doyle writes in his book about how he played for like a year every single day (regular for alot of players) and he took two weeks where he didnt even think about poker (ofcourse with his money he could go chill out and not think about poker in the bahamams) but yes taking a break is a good way to refresh yourself and you will see if and when you do come back your a better player for it.

That's right. I read the book. Important thing is AA no guarantee always win. So why we play best hand is more important. All in pre flop not always right. same for other best hand.
