If i am doing this i apologize...but i left PKR for a lot of simple stuff. Some background....I have been playing poker live and online for about 9 years. I have won live tournaments And i have also won online ones. This being said i think a lot of things have changed in my mind regarding online poker. I think that bringing to light the Absolute Poker scandal (just Google Absolute Poker you will find a host of things on that) and the fact that more and more Poker players (Honest to God live players) I feel are just heading back to the B & M's (and happily so) i think online has become a really big donkfest of unremarkable crap. To back this up i Must say that i feel as though psychologically no matter how great your avatar is etc. it is nothing like staring and verbally commenting (or having someone else comment, or several others) to a player that made a dumb move by calling with tre-deuce preflop for xx amount of dollars because they were "sooted". I think Representations of money IE: Chips is one level of removal from "real money" and video chips is 2 levels removed psychologically, and therefore easier to throw in, because there is A) less attachment to the "money" and B) only a chat box to berate someone, no PHYSICAL presence. This being said i have taken my worst beat ever live. I have taken far, far more numerous beats online. And i think all i have mentioned is why. For me the age of profitiablity and fun has left, therefore i will bid PKR adieu with a few classic screeners.
