Something I have realized...

[Aeioux]

I am a recent college graduate. I had a ton of fun in college. I loved hanging out, drinking, and having fun with my friends and roomates.

During college I would play online poker, not an excessive amount, but enough. It was so much fun because I was making money and still hanging out with my friends and doing decent in school.

After college I noticed something. My social life had been cut down quite a bit, and online poker, even as profitableas it may be, was no longer satisfying. Sitting in my room with no roomates staring at a screen just wasn't doing it. The money wasn't enough to motivate me to keep doing it.

I came to the realization that I don't want to play online poker anymore because there are no social aspects to it. I have realized that I enjoy playing in a live setting whether it be casino or home game so much more. Playing live I feel that I can use both my poker and social skills much much more.

I guess why I'm writing this is to ask if anyone else feels the same way? I know a lot of the people that play 8 tables and make a lot of money are going to say "no way its great", but I almost feel that it is time to move on and away from online poker. So does anyone else out there feel like this?

See the psychology forum. This is very common.

There's a colour in between black and white. It's called grey.
