Default Just a thought for aspiring pros (drunk rambling, really...)

No real point, i'm just gonna shoot off my (drunk) mouth for a sec... Listen:

I tried for a long time to make a ton of $$$ playing, and all that happened is that i got sick of poker (well... i did make some good dough...) and spent too much time in front of my computer.

Recently, i decided to quit focusing on the bottom line, winrates, etc, and just have FUN with it again; to play because i love the GAME, and not the money; Try tourneys, PLO, NL, etc...

As a result, i've made more $$$ this week than in the last three months. i am having fun again, which makes me play better, win more, and feel like less of a degenerate gambling drain on society. so, i highly reccomend keeping poker as a hobby and not a job.


...



that's it, i guess... any comments, anecdotes, or simaler experiences? i wish i had been told this when i went (semi)pro.
