new outlook on poker

[GeoffM]

Brian, I always find it more fun when I'm whoring bonuses all over the place.

[BrianSwa]

yes I agree but you are doing that to make money, I really just want to have fun. For last 3 days ive been just playing tornies and having the time of my life. Something about it being a chip amount and not a dollar amount just puts my nerves at ease. I mean who gives a crap if you lose 2,000 chips when you only paid $5 to enter torney.....well i do but not as much as losing a couple hundred.

[GeoffM]

Brian, I do it both to have fun (the poker aspect), and the bonus (making money). It is twice as fun when you can make a profit, trust me .

[BrianSwa]

but you can easily make profit in tornaments can you not? With way less risk. Not argueing with you just trying to get you to see my point of view of poker...to me.

For what it's worth, I'm glad that you've found your 'niche', if low buyin tournaments are what gives you what you want without overspending then by all means have fun!

[GeoffM]

You could, but then my winnings are capped, plus one suckout and you could be crippled and/or out.

I love sitngos but too much of a luck factor involved.

Easily make money with MTTs? I disagree. I don't think anyone is arguing that they are fun ... but you have to realize, if you play MTTs consistently, with a small bankroll, you will turn around in a week or two (maybe less?) and say to yourself, "Where did all my money go?"

[BrianSwa]

no think that came out wrong. In no way am I saying MTT are easy, just that you can make decent money in them. I have about $200 a month I can play with poker and the best way to invest the money I think is MTT.

[Aequitas58]

Oh... so you're saying you can make decent money playing MTTs?

I disagree with that as well.
