appreciate the kind words and glad you've got some enjoyment from reading these things.

i've come to realise that i have far too many "leaks" in my non-poker-related habits and choices to commit myself to poker to the extent i'd like to at this point in my life. i'll be playing only recreationally, if at all, until (if ever again) i feel like i have a healthy enough mindset to get back into "serious" poker. adios for now
