I typically cycle through obsessions of one sort or another, so if it wasn't one thing it would be another. So I can't say I regret spending too much time in any one place, and I fully expect those places to change over time. I do regret that 2+2 often hasn't been what it could be, but then again, you have to balance that against the undeniable fact that it could also be so much worse, and so many places are.

If anything, I regret that my talent for hold-em seems to have a low ceiling. I never really got all that good at it, and I'm used to being able to accomplish things I put my mind to. That was especially surprising to me because I was able to count cards well in blackjack and also did quite well in seven-card stud. I'm better at my worst in 7-stud than I was at my best in hold'em. Oh well. So if there was a disappointing level of pay-off I got from the forums, it was on the poker side, and that blame can't be assigned to the forums themselves.
