You may have noticed , I've not been a regular contributor to the forum recently. sort of becoming disillusioned with poker recently, especially doubting my own ability.

Just wanted to say goodbye to all those that I've had the pleasure playing with, chatting with and meeting at SPTs over the last 2-3 years. Tonight will be my final night on the tables.

You've got a great site, community and forum here guys and a special thanks goes to Tikay, Rich orford and all the other Skypoker presenters and team.

Good luck to you all, hope to see many of you on tv in future big tournaments.

for those wanting to keep in touch, you can always add me on facebook , not many David Pilling in the world.

Thanks for all your kind words and support, stay lucky guys (and gals )

    Dave why not take a break the next time you're on the rig mate. It would be a shame to lose you.
    How you can doubt your ability is beyond me I hope I speak for all when I say you are a top player, we all go through ups and downs it's poker mate.
    take a few weeks off when you're next offshore and come back all the stronger bud

    Dave

     I was a bit worried you might come out saying this... One minute you were playing £5 MTT's steadily going along enjoying poker blah blah, then you had that big Primo win and suddenly you were playing 200nl and the big cash 300 game. I think you have just jumped way to many levels too quick and are feeling the beats now they are worth £200 instead of £10.

    My advice is take a break, a month or what ever you need, come back with a smaller bankroll and go back to the games you were ENJOYING. Rome was not built over night (Or 1 tournament)

    Q. What do Peter Eastgate, Shaun Deeb and Jaegarbomb all have in common?

    A. They've all retired from poker.

    Eastgate and Deeb were both back playing within a year or so.

    We'll see you in a few months!

    WTF???
    The world has gone mad I tell thee. Sounds like a few of us are disillusioned with poker ATM and need to refocus and/or take a break. I hope you reconsider David after maybe a few days/weeks away which hopefully will refresh you and you will come back to smash the tables up again.
    Are you sure you just don't need a week @ Burgundy fields mate???
    Take care dude......hope you don't feel too blue for long (not an Everton link btw).

    Jaeger if it is the swings that are getting too much then just lay off cash and play the 2.20/5.50/11 tournies to get your poker fix.  The schedule is pretty good now so theres usually a decent torunie about.

    Mix in trying to sat into some big tournies too and you'll soon be on fire again.

    Hi Dave,

    Will be sorry to see you go if that reallly is the case.

    Who's going to be my number 2 in the next TKO?!

    I'm rather hoping though that you're just having a crisis of poker confidence, which happens to us all (me more than most!) and that one good result and you'll be loving your game again.

    Fully respect your decision though. But even if you don't play again, please do drop by from time to time on the forum or the show to say hello!

    Cheers for all your input

    Rich :)

    Sorry to hear that Jaeger - sleep on it for a few days and all will seem better.

    A few days off works wonders.

    David, have you lost your mind?  I'm sure a month on the rig will sort your mind out, if it's a choice of coming back to FarmVille or Sky Poker, surely Sky Poker wins hands down?

    Don't let doubt of your own ability stop you, it never stopped me or Alan.

    If you want to phone for a chat anytime, please pick up the phone, you've got Irene's number still I assume?

    Seriously, see you in 4-6 weeks at the tables and at SPT-Whatever we are both at next.

    As my dad would say...TTFN. The others have said it right. Take some time out, have a few in Del's bar, kick a couple of cats and come back refreshed. IF you don't come back then all the best for the future.

    For most of us, that's very sad news, Dave.

    You have become a personal friend to me, & a good one, at that, & you'll be much missed by me.

    Most "I'm leaving" Posts mean the opposite, but I think you, sadly will be the exception.

    Whatever you do, be happy mate.

    Sky Poker is a poorer place tonight.

    I don't know you personally Dave, but you must be a gem of a bloke when you get so many Sky presenters bigging you up.............now that's worth a second thought at least..................you're extremely well thought of and the community will always need guys like you.....pls reconsider.........my regards Billy .

    True. I'm genuinely sad to see him leave. Top bloke, really genuine.

    He paid - PAID, with his own money - for a "Friends Freeroll" last Christmas!

    Lets all have a group hug as there seems to be alot of negativity on here right now.

    Like flash has said maybe drop down the levels where you can take the beats better.
