Am I going to poker Hell? (lc)
 

I've been a winning NL player at limits up to 2/4, but lately I've found a smaller site where the players are far worse than anything I have seen. My usual routine is to 3-table $50NL and I average something like $25-30/hour (no PT support so no exact figure. The problem is that my style of play is that of a weak-tight nut peddler. It works out great because I don't have pay attention at all so I can focus on watching movies, browsing 2+2, etc. There's also less variance than playing tight-aggressive. I know I could squeeze out some more EV if I actually paid attention, but it's so damn easy; I'd rather just spend a couple extra hours watching movies to make up that money.
Here's my problem: I'm playing what I know is terrible poker and any opponent with half a brain could walk all over me. I don't pay attention to others' play so I have no reads unless I've been in a hand with them. I know how to play properly, but this is so damn easy and profitable that I see no point in doing it. I can't help but feel that my skills are starting to atrophy and I miss the intellectual stimulation of higher limits.

PS: I rely on poker for a decent amount of my income so $50NL is the closest thing I have to a guaranteed paycheck.

Have your doctor prescribe Ritalin and move to $100 NL

Duh, I can just play $200NL 1/3 time and get the best of both worlds.
