I decided to quit

[Popeye]

I don't know if this is the right forum to post this.
But...

I decided to quit poker (Maybe forever, maybe for a few months).
I lost my whole bankroll yesterday, and i don't have the will or patience to build up slowly from a low bankroll again.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not writing this message out of frustration, but just to get it of my chest.
Yesterday i have been thinking about my life and poker, and i was thinking why i shouldn't want to quit poker.
do i still enjoy poker: no!
so why did i want to play on, the reason was: i already invested so much time in playing and reading that i didn't want to quit or else that time would feel like wasted time.
I think that wasn't a good reason, so i should quit now, instead of 'wasting' more time.
Its like a bad relationship, you just have to quit and not go on, just beacuse you been togehter now for so many years.

Does the fact that i stop sadden me? Yes and No; Yes offcourse it does, because of the wasted time. but i'll get over that; No, because i don't have to look back in bitterness, as my statistics say i am still up (i'm a winning player) so the time spended with poker has only made me money.

I hope this message is taken serious.
and i want to see what replies it gets.

I think I'll still be playing backgammon (the game i always love the most).

goodbye,
popeye
