Acid_Knight 2 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I appreciate the support, guys. I'll definitely stick around...too many good friendships and intellectual stimulation...and I probably won't "quit". It's kind of a combination of factors that led me to this feeling, really. And, actually, I'm more stoic than depressed about it. I'm doing just fine with cash games, but MTTs are eating my soul. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a "goal" in cash games when you're not depending on the money. My last big MTT outright "win" was in January...and I feel like I'm better than that...but the results speak, I think.That said, I did just remember a long-term goal for myself that may keep me interested in the game. I've wanted to get back to being lifetime winner at 5/10 NL...and the way I've been playing lately there, I think that's well within reach.Here's a goal:Learn how to beat live poker!

Is it a bad idea to have to walk 12 miles to college everyday during the winter, but at the same time having money to play cards?I think that's a fairly obvious rhetorical question.

NoBBiR 0 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 High Stakes Poker has and is rapidly degenerating into insurance deals and Gold/Farha talking for an hour while showing 7 hands. I think we can attribute this to one thing: Phil Hellmuth. Die. Link to post Share on other sites

I think we can attribute this to one thing: Phil Hellmuth. Die.I haven't watched the entire thing yet, just the Gold/Farha hand and last weeks episode. I think we can contribute it a bunch of guys playing outside of their bankroll. Running it 3 times? lolThe Gold/Farha hand took a ridiculously long time, I think Doyle was ready to shoot both of them. Link to post Share on other sites
