I think he's bored with this world of poker and for lost time online or when playing live. To be honest with a few million dollars you can do a lot. You can move into a beautiful mountain area or in an area where you have the ocean close. It is possible for him to return to poker, if he does not have big plans.

I think that he build a big academy, the Upswing, that sells a different kind of learning material on all supported type, that depends a lot of his winner´s image. So I think that he is trying to keep his image without any bad news and spend his time establishing his company. When it could work alone, he will return to the tables

I do not know what plans Doug Polk has but i saw that he was retiring for a while, not definitively. I understand when he says he's bored with poker but he can deal more with his personal life. It is ugly to have money and not spend time in different places in the world as a tourist. I would do that but he does not know what he wants. He's a very good player, if he has won millions dollars from poker.
