Default 6k profit but start to be bored

hi all

I play low limit / bonus whoring. I am 6 k up now in 14 month ( 4k last 4 month) but lost more and more the fun to play poker. Guess the reason is that i play only for money/winning and poker is a total boring game for me......any other have this ??

I'm nowhere near that point, but I suspect this is your problem:

Play some of the time at low limits to maintain bankroll, and then try moving up (I'd say preferably at a B&M casino, but I'm biased) and see if the challenge comes back.

If not, find other ways to use your time. I'm sure there are other fun, profitable ways to use your time besides poker -- I just haven't found them yet. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

If you're bored you're probably doing it right.

Nope. If you're bored, you're probably playing too low or not changing up games enough (N/L v. limit, adding stud or Omaha), taking breaks etc. It's pathetic if you're playing for money and have made only 6K in 14 months, counting bonuses.

A professional player will play approx. one hand out of six. Many people find this boring especially if you play live. The size of the stakes are secondary IMO.

I agree, 6,000 dollars bonus for playing a game is pretty good for most people. Much better than losing like 80% of the players do.

Switch to another game for a while, if you play limit holdem, try playing NL holdem or omaha h/l etc.. also dont play 8hrs a day... spend your winnings on something fun... a vacation or something, then you will see that you come back fresh and motivated! GL
