Message: [QUOTE="Gipsystripsy, post: 7138160, member: 1048210"] [B]First of all, congrats on your success![/B] But as I understood it, you only mentioned one approach – going from quantity to quality, right? I think it's important to define your goals in poker first. For example, if your goal is just to win the most money possible, then yeah – playing 40 MTTs a day might eventually lead to a big score. Even if you play badly, you might bink something sooner or later just from volume. But for me, what matters more is the [B]joy[/B] of the game. Otherwise, you might end up burned out, just like your friends. Poker is a long-term game, and I believe it's important to find your own pace – that’s just my opinion. Personally, I focus more on building a [B]stable bankroll[/B] so I don’t have to risk all my money or free time on this game. Otherwise, it brings a lot of stress and instability into my life – unless I’m rich, which I’m not. 😅 So yeah, I think it starts with the bankroll, and then it’s about time and long-term goals. It’s kind of like running a marathon or training your legs for it – if you train 24/7 and push too hard, you’ll get injured or just burn out. [B]To win the marathon, you also need to rest.[/B] That balance is the key, in my opinion. And about the poker pros like Fedor Holz – I remember he reviewed a lot of hands and always stayed connected with other players to keep improving his game. So I really think [B]learning and studying[/B] is still essential. If not from books, then by analyzing your own hands. If you stop doing that, you’ll stop developing and maybe even think you’re already perfect – which is a dangerous mindset. It all comes back to this: [B]Do you want to be a pro, or just play for fun?[/B] If you want to go pro, then you HAVE to keep analyzing – which means reading, watching, studying hands... whatever it takes to keep improving. So yeah, I hope I got your question right. In short: I personally play for fun. I have a stable income, and I only play when I have the time. Also, I only use money I won from freerolls – and then I stick to using 5% of that. I try to avoid emotional swings this way, because poker is still a money game, and there’s always the risk of addiction. [/QUOTE]
