    Default All Done

    Well as some of you may or may not be aware of, my online play was a work assignment. Like all good things, this assignment has come to an end, and as such, so has my online playing.

    I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their help in vastly improving my game from when I started to until now. I certainly needed (well still do) the help. I will stop by periodically to see how things are going.

    Take care and good luck to all.

    Work assignment....?

    You mean you actually had a job where they paid you to play poker online? Sounds like one pretty cool job.

    I work in the gaming industry, specifically in acquisitions, joint ventures, and strategic development. I was conducting first hand research on the feasability of entering the online poker market. My, along with several other co-workers, responsibilites was to evaluate different sites on a variety of criteria. I was bankrolled (actually expensed) for my online play.

    No, I did not play all day, this was just merely one of many assignments, so unfortunately I did not get paid to play for 8-10 hours a day. It was a great assignment, which also had its downsides, that unfortunately came to an end. My agreement stipulates that upon assignment termination, I was too close all my accounts and will not play online for a period of 6 months.

    Well, the clock is ticking and hopefully by the time I can play again Rilla will have reached 4,000 posts. Anyway, you guys have a great site here - keep up the good work. I will continue to lurk and will be back at the tables in 6 months (sooner if the project picks up steam again).

    You should totally convince them to offer the FTR 100% bonus if the site ever gets going.
    I run a training site...
