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.

[eejit101]

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

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 ?

I like how the people that are commenting on the grind are just recreational players at best. Playing poker as my only job isn't exactly the most thrilling adventure and can become quite tedious at times.

As for goals,

while this is very very true boobie that dosent take away from the fact that I still think being able to grind out the bankroll is very important. I plan on protecting this bankroll I dont want repeats from past mistakes.

Let's try this again.

1. Get roll to 6k
2. Cash in tourneys
3. Play in a FTOPS series or 2
4. Qualify for Bahamas
5. Read HoH1

Done, done, and done. WEEEE I"m a winner.
