Thanks Tim, I think you're right.I got tilted by another poster's response to something I said in another thread and it really got me to think about why I play poker.I started playing because it's so much fun. I like competition, especially mental competition. When I first started playing, I was losing... badly. And that was unacceptable. So I studied and practiced as often as possible and became a winning player.After I actually won some money, I figured I could make A LOT of money, which led to my disgust in playing the $10 SNGs. Not much money there. Plus, I wasn't enjoying it, just t

Thank you for your insight, fckthis. It actually got my head straight about a dilemma I've been having lately.It's not that I'm a fan of winning money, it's that I'm a fan of winning. Period.Actuary, you said you have thoughts on your posted situation. I'd love to read them.

I'm not a big fan of just raising from the button when shortstacked like that. Granted, it gets more chips in the pot, but then you have to get through one, possibly both, other players before you can push in on the flop.

I'm posting this in Strat because this is where all the sane people are, and I only play tourneys. Anyway...Ok, here's the situation. I usually play in the $10 SNGs on Stars, occasionally play the $22 180 man, and donk around in the $3-$10 Rebuy MTTs.I tried moving up from the $10 SNGs to the $20 SNGs, but found I'm a loser at that level. But, I've taken a shot at many of the $50 SNGs and have absolutely destroyed that level.Point being, I am having a hard time at the $10 level now, as the money involved just seems meaningless. I can't seem to play more than one before I get bored and star

Railing also, hang in there!

Nice job, anyway. Great cash.

Railin'Take it down!

Thanks TimIn retrospect, the open push with AJ wasn't the best play. I could've easily gotten away from that hand. Again, I won't make that mistake next time. Thanks for railing.
