I dont want to move up because a thought about losing money which I have to grind for is scary for me.
I realize I am not good enough to play vs big guys if I lose like 10-20k trying to do that I will have to grind 50 hours to get it back. Its too scary.

I envy this way of thought.

I lost almost all interest in poker [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
I am trying to put some sessions but I struggle with that. Its not a challange anymore and I dont even like it.
I developed great autopilot which is enough to kill 3/6 and probably 5/10 (too small sample yet) but playing it is boring as hell.
I dont even feel any emotions while playing. I am not happy when winning pots, I never tilt, never "want to outplay that guy" just click/click/click rake the money in.

Help !

doesnt necessarily sound like a bad thing, if you're consistently making papes. in fact it sounds a bit like me except that i love outplaying people, and i love winning a lot.

1) buy yourself something nice with the money you've won
2) maybe play some live games, theyre easy and can be a refreshing break from online.
3) go hang out with poor people who have to work hard to make a little bit of money (i.e. 99% of everybody else in the world), it'll make online poker seem great!

I dropped 35K in my first 10/20 session (hellooooooooooooo tilt) and have only now been playing for like 6 months to make it back, lol. Gee, it's fun playing 5K hands/month. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

well, to be honest, i made 11K in my first hour and then dropped 25k in my next two. so it was really only -15k on the session...

edit: just realised i wrote 35k instead of 25k initially... oops. either way it's pretty sick, though. esp since i only had a 50k BR, so dropping 15K was yuck.
