Family First.

hi guys,

it's been about 2 years since I've found Tagpoker. During these two years I have worked hard on my poker game. Much like Blazing, I thought I could whip through the levels and make shitloads of extra cash.. I Have made some money online every year, somewhere around $2-$3000.00 per year. However, my live game has come togethor somewhat impressively...something I credit to Tagpoker. This month alone I'm over $5000.00 and that's probably less than 80 hours play time <---brag.

Beat----> well... I would play poker all evening long online, and whenever I could live. With out me realizing it, I have been neglecting my home, wife, children, and personal life.... This has allmost destroyed my marriage recently... I somehow lost track of the most important people in my life, in the pursuit of poker chips. My wife is very understanding, therefore I never seen it coming, Until it was allmost too late.

I am taking a step back from poker and getting my family life back on track. I will still be around, still play online and live of course.... just I will be scaling it down quite considerably... allready have infact. I definately will still be checking in here... it's kind of another addiction...lol

anyways... here's to hoping none of you do what I did and neglect your family without even realizing you were doing it. Everything is mostly back on track in my life now... so no worries.

cheers guys! and good luck!

Good work.

Never take my family for granted, that's probably why I never quite make it at the poker. Don't care, they are far to important, I'd never find another wife (very soon to be at least) as good as what I have now. And my kids make me so proud every day.

Never forget what is important, or like you say, it can be gone before you even realise.

Yep, I know where you are coming from.

realizing you are taking things in life for granted is always a bit of a shock when someone you love has to tell you about it!

all the best...........

I can certainly relate to that my man.

So many girls love me making pretty good money from poker at first but give them a few months of me always checking out weak games, teaching, talking about poker with mates, being in the forums, etc, etc and they swiftly get over it ha ha.

If I was married with kids I'm sure I'd have to re think things Rolling Eyes

Best of luck keeping things together my man.
