Re: FutureDoc, Look inside.....[CENSORED] THREAD! [CENSORED] THREAD!
 

I just ended my session due to tilt, but at least two Full Tilt Pros sat at my 5/10 9-max table.

Kenny Tran came by for an orbit and played like 50/11/0.8. He bet small with 75o on a K73 flop, someone "sucked out" with 95s, he said "nice call on the flop" and then left like a sissy.

Huck Seed limps a lot. And does not like to fold preflop. Next time he limps I'm gonna make it like 15xBB to go and I'm pretty sure he will call.

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

I mean this very sincerely. There is a reason I only pay attention to my years long hourly rate average. It's cause it's the only one that holds up. Even when I'm a golden god making a gizzilain dollers in a month, I know by years end it will be $50ish/hour.

Thats fine though. I'm 40 yo and $50/hour is probably double the best I ever did at a "real" job working for someone else. I'm playing a [censored] game, in my sweats, unshaven, unshowered half the time, and making enough to support my whole family. If I can keep that going, thats a nice outcome.

For the vast majority of those of us that can make money at poker, we will never get "rich" from it. I wish it was different sometimes, but it is what it is, and I'm ok with it.

i guess all my griping is me realzing im not going to do what i want with poker. ill end up at some miserable job just like my parents and everyone around me did/are.

Re: FutureDoc, Look inside.....[CENSORED] THREAD! [CENSORED] THREAD!
 

Lacky, I have great respect for you and your game.

I think the difference is that some of us are 20-22 years old and are seeing these thousands of dollars and are making $50+ an hour and are thinking (rightfully so i hope) that if we are this young and have only been playing poker this seriously for a couple of years (or less) that we have a big ceiling above us that we can potentially get to.

We are trying to work on our games and at times it doesn't seem like we are really improving or making more money and we are frustrated because we see this great opportunity for 'financial freedom' and to not have to get real jobs when we graduate college.

For me personally, I understand that I have made more money for the last year or so then most adults and even college graduates make in a year but I am still frustrated because I think I can be making more then I am currently making.

I don't think there is anyone who would say that a college kid making $50+ an hour is doing badly, but when we see that we can be making more it is frustrating to be making 'just 50' or 'just x' .

Perhaps we are just spoiled, but I don't think thats it. I think we know that most of us are capable of making more money then we are currently making and are having a frustrating time getting there.

why do you have to make sure youre better than they are? you can be a winning player at every level without being the single best. the people that were there before you took the time to get there, and theyll either be playing well there or have moved on. they have the time, determination, and will power to work through messing hands up and downswings to learn, rebuild, and recooperate, to get "there".


edit: amost people have the same potential to become a winning player, but most people cannot hack the emotional and psychological aspect to this game when push comes to shove, and thats why most dont make it.

that and bad bankroll management.

Re: FutureDoc, Look inside.....[CENSORED] THREAD! [CENSORED] THREAD!
 

i think that you underestimate the amount of money to be won grinding 3/6 or even 5/10, without needing to be the best in the world.

I don't think you guys are spoiled at all, and there is nothing wrong with wanting more and working hard to get there. We ALL want more, and most of us that people would consider good around here are constantly working at it.

What I'm saying is that most of us will reach a platue, based mostly on inherent abilities I beleive, and will struggle to go significantly beyond it.

We should all shoot high, but there will always be someone running hotter, making more, playing higher, etc. To stay sane you have to learn to shoot higher while at the same time be happy with what you have accomplished and where you are. It's not easy. We all struggle with it. A few break out and play much higher, make much more. Most dont.

Your attitude might be a problem, but you're so freaking young and could do so many different things if you put your mind to it. You could still be a brain surgeon, a race car driver, a CIA agent, lion tamer, maybe an astronaut, maybe even a rich poker player if you allow for the possibility that it might even take a few years or more of hard work to become wildly successful at something.

This is true about life in general, it so true it's sick.
My first chess tourney was in 1973, I picked up a state championship title, a life master title and a fide rating along the way... BUT.... I realized that I really had reached my theoretical ceiling. The fun stops when it takes 10x as much study to improve 2%. Psychologically it's a hard place to live, I've not played in any tourneys since 1996 and the thought of trying to get back into it makes me want to puke.

It's an understandable transition though. I went through the same thing & it was extremely hard to realize I wasn't going to be a long-term successful poker player. It was putting a big strain on my life & not until did I talked to a friend(thanks, Mike), did I let it go.

This did NOT mean that poker was over & I couldn't be successful at it. I just realized that it wasn't really what I wanted as a career choice.

This may not even be true in cake's situation, but there is nothing wrong feeling what he is feeling. You just really have to take a step back & think about what you really want to do. You're a smart guy & like MB said, you can do whatever the [censored] you want.

Whenever I start thinking like this, I look back and think about all the things poker has given me. Before poker I was just another dude that was out of college working at some crappy job hoping to get a 10% raise on my miserable salary. Since I quit my job 18 months ago, I've met a ton of cool people, seen some really amazing things, and have had the freedom to go wherever I want whenever I want to. If poker were to suddenly close up shop or I got hit on the head with a blunt object and forgot how to play I don't think I could objectively be mad at all the things and experiences that it has given me.

Making 50k at poker >>>>> 50k working for the man.

god damn dude. honestly your attitude is what's holding you back, and as long as you keep it you'll never get anywhere. Stop the [censored] pity party. You dont have it any worse than anyone else out there. Everyone has struggled w/ confidence during a bad run. You're on a good run right now and still posting your graph as a complaint, wtf?!!?

Stop looking at how good/bad you're running. Stop expecting other people to be able to teach you how to play w/o you doing any work. Stop playing high. Stop playing too many tables. Stop caring when you get coolered or sucked out on. Stop trying to make super-hero folds and stop trying to put stupid small stakes opponents on complicated thought processes.

The truth is that despite all the talk in SSNL about how people just decide not to move up blah blah blah is that there arent any really good players at SSNL. So stop pretending you're playing against amazing players and just learn to hand-read and valuebet. If you can learn to beat SSNL for 6-8ptbbs you can prob move up to MSNL, if not you're prob not ever going to make more than $50-$80/hr. Poor baby.
