Asking the most famous high stakes video poker player in the world to retire before his time is akin to asking Barry Bonds to retire before breaking the alltime homerun record....because his wife developed an exteme allergic reaction to grass or anything that touched it.
For the guy that "goes to meetings" but still reads vpFREE, Bob is not a gambler. Stu Unger was a gambler. Bob is a highly skilled risk taker with a ton of discipline. He is like the casino owner who always plays with an edge. Professional gamblers (terrible name for our trade) know the difference but the folks "at the meetings" don't.
If Bob chose to retire from video poker because of his wife's condition you all know what would happen. The naysayers would come flying out of the woodwork calling Bob's reason for retirement a big lie...."the real reason he retired is because he went broke!!"
Every time I log onto my computer, My Yahoo! homepage pops up with all the recent news. Celebrities announce divorces practically every day. Bob is a celebrity in the video poker world. He announced his divorce. No big deal. Half of marriages wind up in divorce.
Thank God you kind folks don't know my track record with women. LOL.
