Re: no fold \'em at higher limits (15-30, 20-40)
I am not sure if I am more annoyed by your post or the fact that i read the entire thing.
The very tables your a posting about are the ones I look for. If you cannot beat a table full of LAG's then your game needs help.

there's always the option of playing online. the online games tend to be tougher than live games at the same limit. [/ QUOTE ] Do you find this true with Party Poker 15/30?

MrGo,
Everyone talks about how easy the online games are. They may indeed be easy, but they are the toughest games out there. -Michael

If you think poker as a job will be bad, try imagining your chess tournaments as a job [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
You'll go to work with people where it seems like the less well set you are in your life, the better you will do. You'll work long long hours with the goal of perhaps getting your money back, but generally nothing. Don't forget as well that each time you lose, you'll have to face the fact that the other guy was simply better than you, end of story. Based on your breakdown: Make money -- 10% - zero from chess Socialise, meet people -- 10% - maybe some Relax -- 5% - little to none; a chess game is much more demanding mentally than a poker session Get excitement of risk -- 5% - not much risk in chess Test self against competitive challenge -- 30% - lots of this anyways Sense of accomplishment from winning -- 10% - and lots of this Pass time -- 5% - well no argument here Other (intellectual stimulation) -- 25% - possibly Sincerely, A chess burnout [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
