Michael Craig

So for those who read Poker Author Michael Craig’s blog on Full Tilt Poker you may have read the below posts:

It Could Always be Worse, Much Worse.

New Life for the Turbo King.

At first I thought the first post was a joke since it came out on April Fools day but apparently it wasn’t. Sounds like his life is very chaotic but I’m troubled by the fact that he appears to put poker and FTP above his children and there welfare. For the record I was a big fan of The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King and only started reading his blog and enjoying it but after reading these posts not sure what to think of him. What do you all think?

I’ve met Michael and he’s a good guy. It’s a shame what’s going on with his family.

He sounds sad and pulled in all directions. He is struggling to make time for the one thing that’s his.. poker. He’s off is game but trying to get back to it while trying to take care of his family in need.. yes, family is important but poker can be relaxing.. or an escape.. which sounds like something he needs right now.
It’s hard for people who don’t play to understand that when you play that’s all that you’re thinking about so for those hours your mind is actually clear of those heavy issues that weigh us down everyday.
I hope things improve for him and his family.
