Message: [QUOTE="annoyingguy, post: 5959397, member: 458364"] I do agree with both of the answers above and after thinking about them for a while, I got to better understand why I am being so unsuccessful in the last few weeks and was able to fix some leaks. Additionally, I really needed to learn more about BRM, which I am now working on. Yep! The thing I was most conflicted about when I wrote this post was if there was any value in playing microstakes hoping to improve my game to the point in which I would feel comfortable in small stakes. Agree with you as well, I think I was just tilted while trying to play a nitty strategy that didn't apply very well to the games I was playing. Yesterday a few microstakes tournaments while adjusting my overall ranges and strategies, and some of my leaks became very clear. Thank you very much for your reply, very insightful as well! Best of luck to you. :) KO poker is something I plan on dipping my toes in but currently I don't feel very comfortable playing it. I think it is fun, but I don't know enough about the format to play it (at least not yet). Yup, I agree poker is more fun when you win, the attitude "I am ready to burn $150 per month" is me trying to say that although I would love to win, I am not looking at poker as a way to make money I am looking at it as a hobby, almost like a videogame or racing cars, in the sense that I am looking to maximize enjoyment and I might have to pay for this enjoyment An example of this is what I mentioned about cash games, I feel really comfortable playing these microstakes cashgames and I am sure I can easily make U$2/hr/table (I would say even more than that), it is "easy money" but I would not enjoy it and given I can only play 3 tables at a time, I would be better off spending this time working additional hours in my 9-5 job which would pay me better and would help me with promotions on the long-run. Sure poker is more fun if I win, but it is still a fun if I am loosing in a game that I can win in the long-term (either by beating variance or by improving my strategy). [/QUOTE]
