(Note: if you want a reference to poker lingo, click here.) I’m taking at least three months off from poker. To reevaluate. And for financial reasons. The last week cemented my decision.Thank you for reading Good Beat Poker (Bracelet Quest). This post is public so feel free to share it.
It’s a brutal game. My infrequent losses can be summed up to my biggest character flaw: wanting to teach a specific player a lesson. When I focus too much on one player I lose.
