I appreciate the support, guys. I'll definitely stick around...too many good friendships and intellectual stimulation...and I probably won't "quit". It's kind of a combination of factors that led me to this feeling, really. And, actually, I'm more stoic than depressed about it. I'm doing just fine with cash games, but MTTs are eating my soul. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a "goal" in cash games when you're not depending on the money. My last big MTT outright "win" was in January...and I feel like I'm better than that...but the results speak, I think.
That said, I did just remember a long-term goal for myself that may keep me interested in the game. I've wanted to get back to being lifetime winner at 5/10 NL...and the way I've been playing lately there, I think that's well within reach.
Here's a goal:
Learn how to beat live poker!

I haven't watched the entire thing yet, just the Gold/Farha hand and last weeks episode. I think we can contribute it a bunch of guys playing outside of their bankroll. Running it 3 times? lol
The Gold/Farha hand took a ridiculously long time, I think Doyle was ready to shoot both of them.
