THe sleep thing is only an issue because I'm trying to balance family life with playing the peak hours. Unfortunately my best results have been midnight to 3:00AM my time so I hate to give that up. I could try to work regular business hours but the games just aren't as good or plentiful.

I regard myself as passive compared to a lot of the posters here, but not compared to the regular players.

Believe me, it's the first thing I thought of, I'm never doing it again.

WHATS UP WITH THE BOOK YOU WERE CONSIDERING WRITING?

I have so many rough drafts lying around I could probably make 3 books, but I'm not really happy with any of it [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Hey David...

I have been here a long time (well 2 years anyway), and I just want to tell you that I used to thuroughly enjoyed your weekly posts. It was nice to see the honesty, in everything from balancing family life, to the joys of winning and the mentaly anquish of running bad. I know I went back and reread your old posts when you went on the huge downswing when I didn the same. It helped me tremendously. Just wanted to let you know that if your posts have helped me so much, I am sure they have helped many others.

Good luck, and thanks for the update.
