2) when you START feeling bored, quit!


[/ QUOTE ]

If you want to play professionaly you have to overcome this. I play bored all the time. Smashing down your emotions is a big part of playing continuous winning poker. If you play emotionless, it does take the fun out of poker.

Forgive me if someone differs from this oppinion, but there is no way I would make rent if I quit every time I was bored.

i was playing ring games to clear the bonus. since i only need 700 raked hands, i was playing ABC poker (ie: no bluffing). after an hr of playing a little less than 1 non-blind hand per orbit per table, i got bored. after 1.5hrs, i started playing more hands (looser) and became a LAG. and started losing $.

after 2 hrs of play, i'm down $25. it takes 4hrs for me to clear 700 raked hands. so now if i just break even to get the $100 bonus, i would only make $75 profit for 4hrs play which is a little less than $20/hr. (i make $25/hr on SnG's.)

with SnG's, i would play ABC for about 20 min. after that, blinds start to get high and i need to start stealing to survive. so i dont get bored.

i've cleared other bonuses b4, but i dont know why this time i'm bored in ring games?
