My ambition is to the happy as happy as possible. Poker is a part of this equation, so this translates into trying to make as much money money as pssible with as little stress as possible. I have the roll to play higher than i do, but i feel that the extra income i would make would not be enough to warrant the extra stress on my life. Obviously, for most good players, especially since most are quite young, the marginal utility of money goes down after a certain point as there is only so much that you need right now...

I would definitly like to be respected as a good player, but flying under the radar is fine as well. I remember like 8-9 months ago when i was taking shots more aggressivley, ego was a much larger part of the equation. I wanted to be the best, wanted to be respected/envied, and i wanted to play the biggest games i could afford to.

I feel like i have matured in this regard in the last year, now i make decisions based soley on what is best for me on a monetary and overall quality of life basis. My swings will be smaller, i have have a bit less variance, and this in turn allows me to be better and alot more attention for other aspects of my life like my education, social stuff, and just being a kid sometimes. In reality, i think i am very ambitious, but my ambitions are not comprised mostly of poker goals.
