This could be a trap hand or a fist pump shove. For some it's very easy to move to Canada or other places because they are already one of the best players in the world and make loads of money doing so. I might just fold my 8632 because I'm caught in the middle.
I'm not very rich and it would be costly to make the move without a great purpose. It's hard sometimes accepting poker as a job because unless you are promoting or helping someone/something, it really is pretty selfish. However, it's something I've strived hard to succeed at and it would be great if I could make a difference doing so. My ambition has always been pretty low but I've enjoyed figuring out how to win at poker. I've never once had coaching and always tried to figure out the best way on my own. Through playing every game, sngs are what I worked on the most after I figured out how bad some people were at them. There's not much holding me back to play poker again, but when I do, it will be better than ever. Unless something epicly tragic happens, there's always going to be a way to get an edge in poker. It's not time to give up now, this is what I know best. In my eyes, I'm just a passport away from jumping ship.
Although I'm close to my family and am very grateful for everything they provide me, it's not going to stay like this forever, I'm eventually going to have to move on. I'm not really getting anywhere here and I've considered moving for a long time anyways. Pokerstars has been great to me and I think they are the only place I'd currently want to play online poker. When I do come back, it will be better than ever.

World Series!
It's been a lonely being forced out of poker action. The hero is buried under the worst fate, being just a micro grinder and not even able to legally step foot into the Rio! This is everyone's biggest series with the fallout of online poker in the USA so no one can afford to go broke over it. It still hasn't been making much of a difference in WSOP field sizes. Since it's seeming everyone few days someone decides the world is going to end, it's an absolute must for degens to get into the series some how. So I began to do the best research to figure out what the best way to get in was. After deciding the "just go there and try to play anyway" plan should backfire so I needed to be more reasonable. Ah, what other than my losing pastime of using the Two Plus Two marketplace to get my shares of a good tournament player. It's almost like being a daytrader, just sit back, and pray that your money tree begins to blossom. I found one deal that I thought was a good deal (didn't have the crazy high mark up, with solid stats, and well-known references.) Now I was a hopeful e-rail/twitter junkie hoping to hit big with $189 invested in a $9k package. He makes day 2 of the 1500 6 max and starts day two as his table leader. Didn't think too much of it, just hoped for the best. As the day progressed he at one point may have been a chipleader as it was getting down to crunch time! He then entered day 3 in 12th/15 players but everyone was pretty even in chips. As I always say: Just a coin flip away. Just this was the end of the tournament this time as all the aces and kings seemed to disappear and he came in 12-15th for a good profit. With this, everyone agreed to let him switch things up so he could play the $2500 6 max. Deja vu, another deep run. He was apparently unlucky in a big pot with around 30-35 players left and busted in 29th. At least he didn't make it to day 3, because I got much too excited the last time he had, having to wait 12 hours for a quick bust. All and all, it's been a good series, and I really enjoying sweating. Without one touch of real felt, I'm a winner at the WSOP. Thanks Seabee.
