What’s up all?<SPAN> </SPAN>This will be my last article for pocketfives.com so if anyone who opens this up would take a minute to read it, I would greatly appreciate it.<SPAN> </SPAN>As a lot of my friends have noticed, I haven’t been playing all that much lately.<SPAN> </SPAN>Ever since I started my full time job about ten months ago, my playing time has slowly declined month by month. <SPAN> </SPAN>Well as my playing time has decreased so has the accuracy of my decisions and my “in the money” percentage.<SPAN> </SPAN><READMORE>

About 18 months ago when I was still in college and had all the free time in the world, all I did was play poker and finished strong in tournaments regularly.<SPAN> </SPAN>I finished in the top of so many tournaments for a certain time period that I was asked by Adam to write some articles about my playing style for his new website.<SPAN> </SPAN>As far as that goes, I will be the first one to admit that I am not the same player now as I was in college.<SPAN> </SPAN>I am not as sharp as I once was and cannot afford a bad losing streak like I used to be able to.<SPAN> </SPAN>Because of my lack of play over the past few months, I don’t really feel as though I am the proper representative for this site anymore.

I just want to say a special thanks to Adam, Cal, and Riley for asking me to write for their website and the countless number of friends I have made through online poker.<SPAN> </SPAN>My trip to Las Vegas a few months ago was absolutely awesome when I had the chance of meeting and hanging out with all of the people I was chatting with on a daily basis.<SPAN> </SPAN>It was truly a trip that I don’t know if I will ever forget.

To all my online poker friends, don’t take this as my resignation completely from the game of poker.<SPAN> </SPAN>I just feel that there are countless other players out there right now that are a better fit to write for this site than me.<SPAN> </SPAN>I’ll still see everyone around and cheer all of my friends on the same as they do for me when I am doing well.<SPAN> </SPAN>Thanks for everyone giving article suggestions, comments, feedback and overall support.<SPAN> </SPAN>It has been a lot of fun. <SPAN> </SPAN>I’ll see you around the felt!!
