Im around 67%. You 10%ers should go play tournaments on the side or something for fun. If you hate it and are playing I'd guess you're gonna burn out at some point.

I'm only down 15k in entry fees in 2006 playing $100-$200 MTT's. ITS NOT EXACTLY RELAXING ME ANSKY.

In reality, poker is work to me now. It is fairly lucrative and that is why I put up with it; playing the same game is pretty boring, and I suck at every other form of poker except shorthanded NL/limit, and if anything the beats tend to wear me down more than before.

It's better than a real job, however.

I barely get to play. If I am winning then I adore poker. If I am losing, you don't want to be around me [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Fixed for me. I can only play NL with 3-6 players and 200 BB max stacks. I'm extremely specialized and I don't care to learn anything else, because I don't like poker anymore.

this makes no sense to me. there are many ways to make much more money than a poker career affords. if you guys hate it so much, you should do something productive.

Poker is really easy and convenient. Although I keep saying how much I hate it, I realize that I hit a goldmine by finding out that I can make more money than most households by clicking my mouse for a few hours and I really shouldn't complain at all.
