Well, as it is officially 2011 here now and I can celebrate the start of a new year and a new decade at the same time as well, it is also necessary to look back at what happened and adjust if needed. Life as well as the poker business is an ongoing challenge that never stops and if you stand still, you have already lost your edge and need to invest a lot of time and effort to catch up.
I have no problem admitting that I am a smartass and am also by far more critical on myself because I am well aware that I tend to be a perfectionist. It can be an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time and always depends on the situation, but I am also just human and can’t always ignore my emotions.
My workload has increased quite a bit over the last 12 months and I am handling most of the day to day work on Pokerspace. A lot of things you will barely notice but it can be quite frustrating when people say nothing when all goes well but when just the slightest thing goes wrong, the hell breaks out. Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes, but how we handle them and master the consequences defines our character and personality.
That being said I have to set priorities in my daily work and also analyzed how much time and effort my current work requires to deal with it in a more constructive and efficient way. I will still be using my moderator account frequently and answer all questions on the forums and blogs, but I will most likely not participate in any social or poker discussion anymore.
My work and the responsibility have a higher priority and I hope that you can understand and accept that. I did enjoy all this stuff but I am passionate and could not comment randomly without putting full effort into it, which is simply against my nature and understanding.
At the same time I also want to pursue my writing more consequently and do more freelancing what I used to do before I started working for Pokerspace. I have already published an article in a magazine and see this as a step forward, but I am not sure if I will also publish them on Pokerspace as blog as well because they usually have a word requirement between 1200 and 2000 words.
It is the human nature that we can just focus on specific things for a certain time and the past has shown that longer blog posts don’t get the same attention and thus I reserve the right to publish my stuff either on my own blogspot account or on other sites and magazines.
Thanks a lot for your patience and understanding as well as your continued support and participation on Pokerspace.
Best regards,
