Good luck with your quest, Stinky. You are going to post every day? Then my suggestion is your content should be hysterical, or I'll be too bored to read it by the third day.

actually, i'm guessing i'll probably end up doing a few days at a time, but i haven't really decided on a schedule. i'll probably just post whenever i feel like it.

This is excellent advice, a rarity on these boards at the moment:

1) You drop down in limits to where the money is meaningless.

2) You have to start to use your brain again in the way that made poker fun to start with. You are learning, not just assessing the situation then applying what already learnt to it.

These mean you're back actually 'playing' rather than working and poker, like most things, is done much better when you're enjoying it. When you remember what it's like to post a winning session or two you can get the positive attitude you need at your usual game.

P.S sometimes it helps to learn a different game. Last time I had a downswing I learned O8 at .5/1 and it made poker fun again...this time I'm thinking stud...

might be worth a shot. Take your mind off hold'em. GL

Yeah that's exactly my rational. I'm almost looking to 5 future downswings from now when I can finally learn crazy pineapple w/ a full kill [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

i already knew that poker is gay but i'm still doing my quest.

(blogs, are gay too...but I still have one. quests and quest-journals are pretty gay as well fwiw)


is this just such a mind-blowing revelation that you are seriously blowing off the whole quest-thing?
