Well, I just bought a house and the first kid is on the way, so I have pretty good incentives not to go broke playing poker.

I blow $80-120 on a tournament once every couple months, haven't cashed yet but have come close, but I'm not (yet) good enough to be a winning player at the $1-2 NL ring games and can't afford to just blow one buy-in there, let alone several. Also, their tournament structures really suck. You only start with 30BB and after 40 minutes the BB is up to 13% of your starting stack. If you don't get cards or aren't able to time bluffs absolutely perfectly, you're quickly reduced to shoving pre-flop and hoping nobody behind you has a better hand.

I'm playing a lot more online, though I find it much less enjoyable than live action.

If the casinos would have $20-30 STT, I'd play there more, though I understand from their perspective those don't maximize their rake.
