2005 Microquests Thread -- Post Your Progress, Setbacks

[Rockfish]

Hey, thanks a lot for the report.

It really helps me deal with what I'm experiencing right now to realize that others experience the same downswings, that they do come, and that you just have to ride them out.

On the plus side (because I don't want to sound like I'm complaining) the whole thing is a lucrative hobby for me and there's no way I can ever go pro.

However, I have recently purchased a laptop computer exclusively for poker (I don't need it for anything else as I have a work laptop that is far better) and so I feel obligated to play now.

Perhaps it's that sense of obligation that is weighing on me right now. That and getting hammered at 6-max. I figured out today that I'm probably giving too much action both on the flop and beyond and not respecting opponents raises the way I do at full games.

Anyway, good luck and thanks for the report. It, as I said, has provided me with some perspective.
