Default Re: can anyone be a winning poker player?

So I guess that means that only I would know the answer to whether or not I should quit? I feel that I should quit, but at the same time I love playing so much... Should I go to some type of counseling? (christ, i sound so emo. my apologies.)

If you love playing, then play for that reason. I love playing basketball, but I suck! In fact, we have paid money to play basketball. Look at golf: people pay alot of money to play golf. How many are pros or making a living or any money doing it? Only the best of the best. yet, people still dish out mega bucks to play.
Two years ago when I was still losing playing 3/6 poker...I could play all day on 100 bucks and then lose. We would say we had a good time, it was worth it. Id go golfingm pay 100 bucks or more for the day, and hated it. At that point, I said, f this, poker will be my weekend hobby. And it was..just played for fun. If you have the money to do it, go ahead. Also, you might want to check out Psychology of Poker..talks about why we play and stuff.
