try a new game


[/ QUOTE ]

Problem is u need more hours to make same money if u play a game where u got a smaller edge and also u normally dont run very well when u are tired of poker and Im not sure u should try a new game when running (semi)bad. Trying a new game is only a solution if u find that other game very funny.

I dont agree wih a lot of the guys in this thread that seems to think poker is fun and a normal day-time job is boring. My daytime-job is much more fun then playing multiple tables against people that are worse then me at poker.

When I played fulltime and got extmremly bored I tried to never play when I was tired (bordeom + tired = death) and I tried to exercise a lot. Being in a place where u dont have a computer is also a good thing.

And I agree with the poster that said that it is important to have a bankroll so big that u dont feel that going away for a week spending money on something fun will be a problem that u have to solve with more pokerhours then ever when u get back.
