I enjoy the money, rocking the 08 tables at least at 4-5 BB each, but my heart isn't in the game anymore.

What a load of BS. If you were really "rocking 8 tables for 4-5 BB EACH" you wouldn't dream of quitting. That is an UNHEARD of rate. You'd have to have a HORSESHOE shoved so far up your a** .... you'd be floating with glee, certainly not whining to us about thinking about quitting.

I tell you, there is soooo much BS on this forum it blows my mind.

O8 tables (limit o8) not 8 tables.

TL; DR but sounds like OP should quit

I just saw Maize's comment. Defintely I learned a lot from poker. I no longer fear math, my BS radar is sharp as hell and my emotional tolerance for things is higher than before. I also find myself a lot less angsty.

And yes, if I played 0008 Omaha 8/b tables, my head would explode, especially 6-max, which at 1/2 = ATM.

mate, this doesn't have to be a binary decision of "quit" or "not quit". the answer's easy... take off 3-4 months and see how you feel after that. at first, you'll probably feel like you don't know how to fill up all the hours you used to play. but gradually your life will adjust and you'll get into other stuff. so after that period, re-assess where you are and how you feel about things. may also be worth asking your closest friends if you seem any different.

good luck with you, however it turns out.
