It is not an accident that NL cash games were unheard of in this country prior to the recent fad, probably started by the notoriety of the WSOP and the movie Rounders. NL games highly favor skilled players, short or long term. The fish lose quickly and often violently. The games dry up. This WILL happen in due course. Limit poker offers more temporary protection for a fish because he can play low enough to sustain long term small losses that are never ruinous.

The games won't dry up due to the capped buy-in games and TV.

Over my last 100k hands, my winrate is 1.97. Zoomed out, the graph looks pretty straight, I guess, but I still win about 50% of my sessions according to PT and I don't think the money rolls in nice and steady.

Your likely taking short term results too much into consideration. You don't look at your win % per session. Look at your overall winrate. You can lose more than 50% of your sessions and still be a steadily winning player.

If you make a steady $3k a month in a job where you get $1500 per payday every 2 weeks, or you play cards, break even or lose for 2 weeks, then then next 2 weeks it ends up your up $3k...What's the difference? (just a simplified example, but you get the drift)

In limit 60% of the time I win EVERY time.

No. I Love poker period. Whether I'm playing limit, NL, 6 handed, 10 handed, SnG, Tournament, stud, OH8B, etc..etc.

I have my bad days when I get sucked out and get frustrated...but you can't help laugh and love this game when someone *true story* chases the 4th flush card with only the 2 high flush draw and then raises you on the river...LOL and their hand is good.

I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] variance. That's why I find shorthanded and heads up limit holdem online so much fun. I'm surprised how many people choose to make a career or serious hobby out of gambling, but hate to gamble.

This seems kind of silly...because I like every other aspect of poker besides variance, and I like the money that I make from it. I'm by nature a fairly risk averse person and I hate gambling in general and variance and losing. But I put up with it because I make money and it's fun
