Hello and farewell,
As many of you are likely aware, I became a father almost 3 months ago, and it has been the most rewarding experience of my life. As a result, I've decided to step away from the hobby to focus on raising my daughter and spending more of my free time with her.
I wanted to say 'thank you' to the many of you who have been so helpful to me over the years with acquiring chips, making trades, help with designing customs, advice on where to find anything from Fournier setups to airtites and Paulson racks, how to clean chips, how to flatten chips, and everything else under the sun that has to do with chipping. This community is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in chips! I also wanted to thank you, Tommy, for all the time and resources you've put into building this site.
Last year, I stopped hosting games once we found out that my wife was pregnant, and I just realized that I haven't even played a single hand of poker since playing in a couple tournaments last summer during the chip convention. And after playing for a living for over 12 years, it's been a more than welcomed change in my life.
I've decided to hang up the chipping cleats, and wanted to reach out to the community to offer a proper good-bye and to say 'thank you' for all the help over the years. If you ever need to get a hold of me for any reason, or if you're ever in the Bay Area and want to meet up for a beer, you can reach me via email at the gmail.com domain with the same username as I have here.
Take care, and share the pr0n!
Travis
