Maybe I'll come back to it in a few months, or a couple of years. Or just as likely not. Given the other things I could have been doing with my life, it's basically been a huge waste of my time. That is all.

My advice is:
Don't gumble in order to live from this. Though not possible you make money from this you will never be safe to make any investment in your personal life while you still gumble. If you really like gumbling do it as entertainment but don't give your money just for fun. Learn how to beat the game (play as a pro) and try to take the odds in your turn.
I was in your position once and I took the wise decision to quit gumbling and do something worthwhile in my life. Now I don't play 6 hours per day gumbling making impossible dreams of creating a fortune from this. Now I know very good the rules and how to beat the blackjack game and l I play very rare instead of watching tv. If I win some money I am grateful and I have a free drink at night just this.

WRX,
Good luck in your future endeavors. I've sometimes pondered if my time/energy/focus etc would be better spent outside of AP; however part-timing has been successful enough to keep me going.
I wish you the best. You know where to find us.

You don't score, until you SCORE!
Not sure if you were full-time pro or not... and as I posted elsewhere certainly can understand quitting if it's gotten to ya too much. It ain't easy. IMHO all of this stuff is really much better suited to being only part time, non pro, only a nice extra-income hobby vs full time profession (but again hat's off to you guys who CAN pull it off...)
Here's hoping whatever else you engage in to fill your time yields better +EV to your life... take care.

It's only a short time ago that I thought I would soon retire from my business and do a lot of APing but I'm rapidly changing my mind for just these very reasons. As long as I have decent health, I now feel that I'm probably better off keeping the same MO as now. That is, staying in a fairly lucrative and (for the most part) enjoyable business and doing the AP thing on a part time basis.
I've seen enough to know that full time play would be a brutal livelihood!
"One of these days in your travels, you are going to come across a guy with a nice brand new deck of cards, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not take this bet, for if you do, as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up with an ear full of cider."
