Oh Year like anyone ever gives up poker.... you can leave it alone for a while or even stop playing for a month or two but in the end you always come back. Why would you give something up that you are good at and have the ability to make money from? What a prat.
Poker is like an itch; the more u try to ignore it, the more u need to scratch it. He'll be back, maybe not now, but in a couple of years when he discovers the everyday life at a 9-5 job sucks ass.

Rubbish! That's like a professionnal footballer giving up at the beginning of his career and getting a regular job. He's basically made s**t loads of cash out of what started off as a hobby, and he's just gonna quit like that. What BS! The odds are a million to one for him not to come back to poker after getting a taste of what real life is about. The "interest" as he said will come back when he needs the cash.

Well, i hope it won't happen with me. I like this game. And i would like to get ticket to at least one big game. Just to know how it feels when you say: All-in against Phil Ivey and saw his face when the river comes. Let it be what it is.
