"The stupidest question asked to a poker player is .' why didn't you quit when you were 50'000 ahead'' BECAUSE, when I am up and winning that usually means the conditions are ripe for me to make a profit, good table image, table activity, plenty of sleep, not hungry. If that 50'000 had turned to 200'000 then you wouldn't have said shit?... poker is about money, you have to get it in when you have the best of it. This also relates to his other maxium "maxium pain" or something like that, where after a certain point it all feels the same, 500 lost becomes 5000 lost and you are just as numb as with 500, (assuming 500 is more of you bankroll then you can afford to lose in one night, whereass 5000 might be all of it) Greed is a factor thou. BUT, greed isn't why good players will hold 20+ hour sessions, its timming "I feel good, I will do good, and then all thats left is average cards and BOOM" 1k in 2 days (this doesn't apply to mr.moneybags aka rekrul who better get a good broker and invest 50% of what he has right now, build back up and do it again, .... unless he wants to be stuck eacking out a poker living forever , which can be a dangerous thing) Personally .. I say, go up as much as you can ... 10dollars to 80 in 1 hour and 45 minutes ... BUT realize that the longer you play the less likely you are to get a good hourly wage .... 1.45/80 is 55 or so an hour.......... if you make 20 more over 2 hours then 100/3.45 is 28 dollars an hour, this would indicate that it is not profitable to keep playing .... Guys no matter how good you are, PLEASE THINK. I don't post here often anymore, but I do read, and I am very upset by how many of you have taken up the trade, just for that fact that 90% of gamblers, real ones are degenerate personalities, and I hope for so much more then this for all of you .... hell and me =) IF ANYONE SAYS ONE WORD ABOUT GRAMMER/COHERANCY/sPELLING I WILL FUCKING KILL MYSELF! | ||

 Poker is fun for me, maybe a little too much fun. I caught myself playing sometimes playing for 12 hours a day  And even though I am not bad at poker I am not making great money like rekrul elky or any other. I can even say I am happy not going broke. I mean I didnt get anything for starcraft at all and I could still enjoy that. Same with poker, but here I get a little money Not enough to live from I think, but money is not that matters to me. Maybe when I get better I start making more money. Ill see if I can meet Rekrul at WSOP in a few years | ||

(not during a game obviously) so like say i played on the 1 cent tables for a while and made 50 bucks, i could cash out right then and there right... there's nothing 'preventing' me from stopping playing... I am really not sure, but on Prima Network they does not allow you to deposit more tan 500 $ a month or something like that. So when you are out of cash for the month, well you cannot play anymore there ( although there are tons of sites). You can cash out at any time while you are not on a table. Sometimes you cannot cash-out bonuses since you need to play some hand ( some room give you the bonus right off the bat but you gotta play raked hand, like 1000 or so) | ||

very nice article. really enjoyed to read about your trip to korea and your poker carreer.i lost about $100 at first and said to myself that i would never play again. but then i saw elky and rekrul play on pstars and just thought to myself "if i want to be that good i have to dedicate my life to it and sacrifise alot of money". but i realized that if i lost another $100 i would not only lose my entire real-life bankroll ^^ but also start to cry and feel like the dumbest person on earth. I must get a real job, tell my girlfriend how much I love her and meet my friends as much as I can until i sit at a poker-table again. So, when I feel good about myself and can afford to lose I will start play. And btw poker is not like starcraft. if you play starcraft like you play poker you will play BGH-FFA with 7 players and surrender 75% of your games before they even have started just because you are spawned at the wrong position. And I dont think many players play like that. hf | ||
