Nice and Fun

That is true, to a point. You are a very good O8 player and should expect to make it deep almost every time. In these low buy in events your KK or AA could be cracked by 7-9os very easy so that is why I never expect to make it deep every time. Sure majority of the time the better player wins but there are always those times when Joe Shmoe makes the money playing 80% of the flops. Like I said im playing to cash and if I win thats just a bonus for me.

Like I said I will be playing these but im not taking them seriously enough to build a bankroll of them. Im playing them because they are cheap and fun and I might just get lucky and make some good money off them.

See, now Brian this is what I don't understand.

You said you just play for fun. If you were merely playing for fun, you would not care if you cashed but rather won the whole damn tournament. I find it very fun to win an MTT (I've only won 1 but several final tables, good %) but I don't play for fun anymore (frankly, I need to take a good month off). I play strictly for the tax-free profitability it offers me (I live in Canada).

As soon as I clear this latest Party reload and the stupid Pokerroom deposit bonus I plan on bonus whoring solely until I can find my love for the game again. Until then I will only play tournies if you guys want to set one up because for the past 3 weeks I have noticed that the one small tourney we had was the only fun I've had in quite some time (aside from my live game Friday).

PS- Sorry if I sound like a sourpuss , I still have the love for you Bri.

Alright I will try to explain a little...ya I play for fun but I want to make money. Hell what poker player dosent want to make money? Dont know anyone that goes to a table and says damn I cant wait to lose this money. Well maybe some do in AC but anyway I degress.

Ok so I play for fun but in long run want to win money. In case anyone didnt know I'm a losing player with hopes to turn it around one day. I feel I have improved alot over the last year but I know there are still times when I play stupid and make some rookie mistakes. I have a terrible disapline problem and dont play within my bankroll all the time.

If I could correct these problems think I could be a winning player which is why I say im playing for fun to try to get back to the reason I first started playing poker. In the long run I want to win though.

I think your saying I am not good! Lol. Anyways, I have placed 5 times in the past two weeks. for ok money, >60. It is tough and you might end up with nothing, but its a risk-reward kind of thing. I enjoy the time too so its not a waste if I lose.

[BrianSwa]

nope didnt say you where no good. Your reading into what I wrote too much.

I plan on playing them but not expecting to build a roll from them.
