"What the pro's don't want you to know"

How to properly use apostrophes?

[MicroBob]

While I do think he's exaggerated the importance of his point I think there is SOME validity there.


Somewhere I remember reading something about having an interest in thinking about poker even when you are away from the table (day-dreaming about a certain poker situation while driving or something).
Was it in one of Mason's poker-essays perhaps?
Something about having a real curiosity about the game...really enjoying the complexities fo the game...etc etc.


but obviously if you are good enough to make $80/hour and don't really give two hoots about getting much better you will probably continue to be able to make that much money anyway.
Although....if you don't have the interest in the game (or improving) then you will be more susceptible to burn-out as well I imagine.


The original post was a bit over the top....but it's not ENTIRELY idiotic imo.

If making the most money is your goal, perhaps.

I dunno man, you're logic reminds me of swiss cheese.

What if I'm some kid who can beat the game for $80 an hour. That's a really good reason to play the game besides, "getting better at poker". I call it, "Making money".

I think what the original poster is saying is that you should always be trying to improve your game. Don't be content with $80 an hour, or even with $400 an hour or more, but keep playing to get better at it. If at some point you reach the playing level where you can easily support yourself while playing to get better, then go pro and get even better even faster, but never stop trying to get better!

Thanks Bob, appreciate the support (kinda)... Truth be told I was blazed out of my mind last night when I wrote that and I found myself in a philosophical mood. Gotta lay off the green while posting if I expect people on here to respect my opinions instead of making snide remarks about apostrophes or how dumb they think I am. Tell me you disagree with what I'm saying, tell me my logic is wack, but if you need to insult me take a look in the mirror and figure out what's wrong with that picture before you type something cool and tough for all the 2+2ers to read.

There's lots of reasons. Subscribe to my newsletter if you really want to know. There's already some other dude in this post who's expressed interest in the newsletter.
