why is that lol? lol. Here is what I get for free:

1. Health care. Covering everything for me and my family in my cas for the rest of my life and my wifes.
2. Dental for all of us too.
3. Skilz...
4. Travel for a small fee, like $10 for an international flight.
6. Tax free shopping.
7. Education benefits, for me it was a free MBA.
+ some other stuff I can't remember atm.

Then I get paid.

Base Pay
Cost of living allowance = tax free
Housing allowance = tax free
Food allowance = tax free

Then ohhh nooooozzzzzz, if I go to combat my pay is all tax free plus I get about 3 kinds of hazard/combat pay.

Then, I'm about to complete my Army career which set up my job in almost any field and I'll be making at least 2x what I'm making now - which to me is a lot.

Plussss, I went to UGA so there.

Blogging just to blog is dumb. It's quality not quantity, man.

Yeah, I know. I average like 1 entry every 3 weeks, but I do enjoy writing and would like to do more of it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, you put more quality content into your blog at one/two entries per month than most people do in two/day. Plus, with your, there's not tomes of mind-numbing crap. I feel like you need some sort of "bloggership" to go do something cool, vaguely poker-related. I guess the problem is when you have to play poker for your nut, you're not nearly as inclined to play poker for your entertainment, and do high entertainment-value things like satellites to big tournaments and such. Jim McManus writes stuff and you're 100% better than him. Maybe with the late-night writers on strike, dom can cast you in a quasi-reality show and successfully pitch it in place of Letterman.

I don't think I'd ever hit "submit" on something I considered mind-numbingly boring, which is why there's so little poker content. Dom and I have talked about some poker related projects and he's completely convinced that poker reality type shows could be pretty big. The issue now is putting together a good set of ideas and actually getting it off the ground.

Yea, I understand that. But, I'm just not sure how I would decide when to attack an A high flop. I do it a bit now, when someone is very active with there raises. But, it is certainly a topic I should discuss with someone more.

Ok, just for fair and balanced here. My wife and I are both Navy brats. For some, the military is a very good fit, for some it isn't at all. But, for all, a career in the military has some extended periods away from home(the severity is branch dependent, the navy, my perspective, being by far the most time away.

While we're guys, and tend to handle it ok, the truth is some families are fine through it and others fall apart completely. lot's of devoirce, infedelity, etc. Their is also alot of moving involved usually, which is hard on kids.

The military can be a good career, but it really isn't an easy one in alot of ways. One of the reasons I have alot of respect for those that stick it out and excell in that environment.

you need to have a break-even stretch of more than 5,000 hands before you're allowed to bitch about it.

complaining about 2k break even stretches is like complaining about 150 break even SNGs.

it's not the stretch....it's the coming to terms with the realization that you suck and the only way you win is by coolering/ppl dumping

you may think you're good enough to move up, after all that hard work practice application studying hnad review sweat sessions..but what it all boils down to is your opponent's are just miserable and you havent gotten any better.

the sad fact of the matter is ask yourself this question.. if you haven't done it now, what are the chances you're going to do it in this lifetime ?


maybe this is just a big realization to me because i'm delusional

Re: FutureDoc, Look inside.....[CENSORED] THREAD! [CENSORED] THREAD!
 
Just play a session where you play complete ABC poker. Don't 3-bet a tonne, don't bluff much at all, only play in position and take lines that, while maybe not the most +EV, make the hand easiest to play.

Find your comfort zone again, and then start getting back to making some plays trying to exploit specific villain leaks.

It's just poker, it's still an easy game.

you guys don't get it. i just ran really hot. fgator's has the same [censored] going on in his graph. the more i play the less money im going to make etc. eventually i'll be counting profit via fpps etc.

it's all statistics, fluctuations and variations that confuse you into thinking ur a winning player

it's that feeling you get when you realize how much of your life you've spent on this "journey to financial freedom". and how little freedom you actually have. how little you've accomplished. and how far you have to go.
