Sean Quits This Blog To Become A Full-Time Poker Player

Sean O'Rourke, publisher of the Organized Shopping Blog, has quit this blog to become a full-time poker player, effective immediately.

"Before blogging, I rolled out of bed whenever the inspiration hit me," he said. "Then I start this blog, and next thing you know, I find myself getting up before 7:00 AM to serve the East Coast. And yesterday, I realized the lag-time between making a new post and getting it picked up by My Yahoo was very long. It seemed like several hours or more. Needless to say, I was disillusioned."

"What," he continued, "I am supposed to get up at 4 AM for a head start on the distribution of RSS? I thought bloggers were supposed to be slackers. At four o'clock in the morning at night, I should be pushing around a fat stack of poker chips and drinking the beers of my forefathers. Besides, how else am I going to recapture the adrenaline rush of last week's traffic surge, without going all-in on a semi-bluff check-raise?"

Before leaving, Sean said not to worry, that given the high ratio of low-limit tables in St. Louis, his pocket aces will surely be busted by "suited trash" in time for a speedy return to work on Monday.
