A4 is solid, e.g. 58% favorite over KQ.

Amazing story. Cherish the time with your daughter. There is nothing in this world that will ever top it.
Thank you

You're the nuts, dude.

This post made me want to post here again.

If I ever get to pooh-bah I guess I need to think of something cool to say.

Brian,
great story and continued luck in the future.

Along with being a friend, you have helped me too many times to count and I wouldn't be where I am in poker without your help.

Great post SS,

Inspiring read. You sound like you're having a great time, and more importantly, the move to poker allowed you to have a better family life. Congrats on all your success and my best wishes for upcoming challenges, in the poker world and not.

It doesn't look like I'm going to make the early part of the WSOP, so if that's when you're going, I guess I'll have to meet you some other time. I'll wait.

Anyway, you seem to be an all around good guy, and I like that. More power to you, and all my best,

citanul

With my work schedule I am not home to read my daughter bed time stories, or even to be sure that she is given dinner. I begin to realize that she is often given a bag of french fries for dinner and then left on the couch in front of the TV until she falls asleep. I don’t see enough of her, and the work schedule is damaging my health to the point that it is a real possibility that I won’t be around for her when she needs me.

Favorite part of your story. FWIW, I'm making similar decisions. GL

This post and when you changed skipperbob's avatar to the young sailor are a couple of my favorite 2+2 moments.

EDIT: Just realizing this sounds a little gay, but its not, so whatever.

The only thing funnier than when Suited changed skipper's avatar is when Skipper called me and asked "why's that so funny to everybody?"

Man, that is powerful.

Nothing is as important as raising a child, nor more rewarding than parenting full-time (I know). I have witnessed first-hand what a great dad you are and have more admiration for you than you know.

You are already HU with pocket trips in life IMHO.

For what it's worth, thanks for staking my journey into poker. I'd gladly give my bankroll to help you succeed.

I know you'll bring your "A" game.
