How is poker not fun?

[eejit101]

poker is fun when your learning. Then when u play to win money, and only for that reason its less fun. The league is fun, but thats a donkament, so donkaments are fun, as are crazy cash games, as is huge tourneys, but griding = no fun

I disagree with this, what is more rewarding then starting with say $500 and grinding your way up the levels until your are looking at 4k. I plan on going to AC and grinding at 2/4 limit all day.

rounders quote "be careful though or your whole life will become a fucking grind"

grinding is exactly what I plan on doing.

I think poker is all fun Grinding can get boring but I still have fun with it because I'll play a lot of tables and listen to music. You can also "Grind" while playing "donk"aments , which will be fun.

u cant grind playing donkaments. Skill = much less of a factor. Donkaments are for fun.

And yeah, u can play 2/4 all day and grind. After 1 week you will be so bored youll play BJ for a bit to mix it up. And brian, you never grind, youll get to $4k and hit the $100/$200

I meant you can play tables, which you consider "grinding" and play tournaments at the same time.

true, tourneys are alot more fun than cash games, and something im better at. But playing it week in week out is boring as hell. Just ask JD

[BrianSwa]

if I hit 4k I put 2,800 away for June then keep grinding until I get $4,500 then put that away to cover whole trip. I dont get bored at 2/4 limit, im very comfortable there. but I will play NL once im over 2k. But I never have sat at 100/200 my name isnt eejit.

Do you think the 4k / 8k cash game is a grind for Phil Ivey and he gets bored at it ?
