Most intelligent people who become good at poker also become bored with it at some point. Why? Because they challenge ceases to exist. Either they beat the biggest games out their or realize that it is just not worth the variance to play in them. Grinding one limit for ten years is like working on an assembly line.

Sorry I don't understand this part. If they are so good that there is no longer the challenge, they would not need to be grinding at one level for ten years(or very long at all really), as they could move on to the next level.

And if they are beating it for a decent clip at all, it should definitely be worth the variance.

You have to actually be in this spot to understand it. I thought about making a post as to why this is but I would be preaching to the choir for those that understand and wasting my time otherwise.
