Is Poker fun?

To be honest i dont know where i stand with poker at all, and basically i need to ask myself why i am playing, is it to make money, a test of skill trying to be better than others, or basically a distraction from real life and a fix to my gambling nature..............i cant really answer it but i'm 80% its the later!

Yesterday morning i read a article on how most cash players grind tons of tables aim to play 'break even' poker and live off the rakeback, well i tried 10 tabling PLO 10c/25c for approx 6 hours, finished 3 buyins down but made the same back in rakeback, LOL dont know if i could put up trying to do that, if i did it for a whole month i'd roughly make $1k in rakeback so doubling my roll, not sure if FTP is the site to do it on though, think theres a lot easier sites like Littlewoods so may try it in the future......but we'll see.

Sng/Mtt wise didnt play any at all yesterday and just had a quick 4 games this afternoon, only placing in one. ROI% now down to -30% after finishing 6th in another 90 manner $3's. Guess i need to keep on plodding away, a couple of days into my return and i dont think i'm even gonna achieve my lame goals for Sept, lol i suck at this game!

Wonder if anybody is reading this blog yet?

Answer is probably NO, but at least i can look back in a bit and see my little poker journey!

Footy bets crashed and also didnt win lottery - FML!!!!!

  1. Yep,still reading :-)

    Interesting question re poker being fun.Poker is hard.Pressing small edges over the long term isn't always going to be fun.Having said that making moves based on solid reads and having them come off makes up,pounding bubbles in sngs etc always gives me a buzz.I still get the butterflies before each session wondering how it's going to go.Anyways gl at the felt...

  2. Having the same problem at the moment, putting chips in ahead and everytime get sucked out Hope it's just variance, luck changes and my joy in the game will come back. Gl m

  3. We all go through it, it's how we deal with the downtimes that determine our outcome! Don't give in, move down when u have too but fight through it, good players can make it!

  4. Poker is fun but only when you're winning. It sucks big fat donkey cock when you're losing or breaking even
