Playing marginal hands sometimes

BrianSwa · #1 03-15-05, 02:06 AM

only somewhat read throught this post, yes I have a job and a very good one at that. It pays the bills not poker so losing the money is no big deal. The money was online to be spent. I do want to get better I even said that in my post but the #1 goal is and always will be to have fun. I played at higher levels because I wanted to not to make money, I didnt care about roll. I know that you are in this to make money and I respect that but im not so you should also respect that.

I knew by moving up I was taking a big chance of going broke but I also knew that it would be alot of fun playing in a bigger game. Really dont see where there is a problem in this?

Dont mean any disrespect to anyone that is trying or is making money playing this crazy game but Im not so give me a break.

Making money actually isn't my #1 reason for playing poker, but thanks for assuming. There is an interesting exercise in the beginning of The Psychology of Poker that everyone should do... Basically, you assign %s to the diferent reasons why you play poker. Maybe I'll start a new thread about it sometime, because it is quite interesting.

Regardless, it still would have been fun for you to lose all that money to me.

I dunno man, I lost a couple hundred over the weekend myself, but I'm not deluding myself that I don't care or whatnot. And I worked in a casino for 5 years, so I know quite a bit about people who claim to have fun while losing their shirts (relatively speaking, Colorado has a $5 single bet max).

Ok saying I dont care is a little off, of course I care and would rather have it. Its not the end of the world though, seems by the posts that everyone thinks it is.

gonna have to go someplace else other then Party though, too hard to move money around their.

Can't help but laugh at this one... since (other than maybe Poker Stars), Party is the single easiest place to move money around. Hell, they even let you cash out and back in right away to get deposit bonuses.

It's pretty clear you don't have much experience with the "Cash Out" button.
